I really should remember this - but I cant! There is a toggle "somewhere" to turn off or on the RealDrums cymbal crash that occurs on SHot and Hold (X... or X..)chords. Its not AFAIK in Options-Prefs -RealDrums I turned it off at some point and now I'd like it back please - but WHERE is it! lol!! Cheers ian

Hi Jazzman and Trev Many thanks guys Quite so - its in "Arrange" not in "RealDrums". Brain Fade, I guess. "First bar of CHORUS gets a drum cymbal crash" - its actually every time you change or add a Part Marker. As all my SGUs are 'unfolded' to ONE long Chorus, if it were as described, I'd only get one at the start. BTW - It doesnt cymbal crash on both if you put, say, 2 part markers together - to get a 2 bar drum fill. Well, it doesnt when I do it. lol! Ian

Possibly related, on the more recent versions of BIAB, you can control the part markers and fills separately. VideoTrack showed this above in the second screen shot. I don't actually know what effect that might have on a cymbal crash.
I did uncheck that checkbox about a crash on the first bar of the first chorus.
Not sure the MIDI Push Velocity has any effect on RealDrums?

Use the Simple button to select the Drums track, and if the Drums track has been set to be simple, the Drum track plays using a more basic arrangement, and is not supposed to play fills or post fills which should include cymbal crashes. Maybe yours could be set to Simple there?

Hi Trev Thanks for the extra thought. It wasn't that It was the Prefs-Arrange toggle. I have used the 'simple' RD toggle a few times and its a very useful feature if you want a drum track thats more in the background as it were. BTW - your GUI looks different. Was it 'customised' by you? Ian
