Does anyone know if it is possible to change the track color in Real Band manually for different instruments, such as guitar, bass, drums, etc, or is that all automatic? (You can do it in all other DAWS I have seen.)

If you can do it, how do you do it? Can't find in Users Guide.

Thanks for any info or tips!

David,

You may want to ask your question in the +++ RealBand +++ forum section. This FAQ forum section is generally used more by PG Music to relate responses to common questions that PG Music sales and support encounters. I don't frequently use RealBand so with that in mind ...

The short answer is no. RealBand does not let you assign a track color to different instrument groups.

However, you CAN assign a track category or create a new audio category. Track categories include plick/pluck, generic audio, persussion, wind and others. New audio category data includes a track name, picture (icon) file and preset file. Access track and audio categories by hovering the mouse over the mid section of a track (where the default "Untitled" track section is at) and right click to open a sub menu.

Also RealBand has three skins available under Options > Icon Set; 1-Classic, 2-Modern 1 and 3-Modern 2. Each changes the overall look of RealBand.

Hi David,

If you right click on the track and the choose "Current track event color", you can select what colour you would like the track to be.

I think David is looking for an automatic way to color the different tracks, easy in Reaper:
