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.
Using RealTracks in Styles
RealTracks can be assigned to any Band-in-a-Box instrument part in a style by using the
“Assign Soloist (MIDI) or RealTracks (audio) to style” feature.
To assign RealTracks to a style select the “Instrument” part that you want to replace with
a RealTrack.
