Add RealTracks
Just as RealDrums replace the MIDI drum track with live audio recordings of top session
drummers, RealTracks add “real” instruments recorded by top studio players and
recording artists.
RealTracks can play shots, holds, and pushes as entered in the chordsheet. Many of them
play 4-bar endings (instead of 2-bar) to allow for the natural decay of the instrument, and
there are free patches adding this feature to earlier RealTracks sets. They are available at
http://www.pgmusic.com/support_macintosh_realdrums.htm.
The RealTracks toolbar button opens the Assign RealTracks to Track dialog
(RealTracks Picker).
This dialog also opens from the main screen
contextual menus, which open with a right
click, Control+click, or double click on any
part name. Then click on the Choose
RealTracks menu command to assign a
RealTracks instrument to the selected part.
Click on the [Settings] button to open the RealTracks
Settings dialog.
