Using RealDrums in Styles
You can assign a RealDrums style to replace the MIDI drums in an existing Band-in-a-Box style with the
RealDrums Settings.
Enable “Style uses RealDrums” in order to designate a RealDrums style. If your style is in the correct directory, it
should appear when you press the “RD” button. You can then select your RealDrums style, and whenever the
current style is played, it will use your RealDrums style (provided that RealDrums are enabled).
Most RealDrums styles include several variations. Select “Vary ^styles with each play” to hear a different variation
each time the song is played.
There are also additional volume controls here. If you have your dB setting exactly where you want it in your style
file, but with this particular Band-in-a-Box style you want it a bit higher or lower, you can enter a setting here.
There are also fields for adjusting the ‘a’ or ‘b’ subsection volumes only.
You can also remove the check mark from either “Allow ‘a’ substyle RealDrums” or “Allow ‘b’ substyle
RealDrums,” which means that for this style, the one with the checkmark remaining will be used for the entire song,
regardless of what substyle is currently called for in the song.
There are many Band-in-a-Box styles with RealDrums. The style names begin with a minus sign.
They are listed in a separate category in the StylePicker.
