Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide

You can choose any folder for your RealDrums. This allows you, for example, to

conserve space on your hard drive by storing the RealDrums on an external drive.

Since you can type in your own folder name directly, you should

update the setting when you are finished typing the name.

If you want to store your Drums folder somewhere other than

/Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Drums, then specify that location

by choosing its folder here.

This button clears the currently selected RealDrums for the song.

This allows you to audition the song with and without

RealDrums without leaving this dialog.

Stop song playback.

Return the settings in this dialog to their defaults.

This updates the settings in the dialog and rebuilds the list of

drum styles.

The [Archive] button will erase the AIFF files in the Drums

folder when there is a smaller M4A available.

For a single chosen folder, this reverses the Install function and

erases the AIFF file when there is already an M4A file.

Press [OK] to make your selection and exit the RealDrums

Settings dialog.

Press [Cancel] to exit the RealDrums Settings dialog without

making any changes.

RealDrums Picker

Use the RealDrums Picker to choose RealDrums for the current song only.

The RealDrums Picker opens from either the [RealDrms] toolbar button

or the Windows | RealDrums Picker menu command.

It can also be opened from the RealDrums Settings dialog with the

selection “For this song only, use this RealDrum style” and a click on the

[RD] button.

A filter is available. Type a filter text, (e.g.

bossa) and press [Update], and you will then

see the list filtered to show only RealDrums

that have the word bossa somewhere in the

title, memo, genre etc.

Multiple search terms work with RealDrums Picker. If you separate terms with a space,

each term is searched for separately. So a search for “Bossa Rock Ev 120” will find any

Bossa Rock styles with an Even feel that would work with a tempo of close to 120.

Adding a search term that has a number will filter for RealTracks that match the tempo or

within a compatible range.

Pressing [Show All] will cancel the filter, and show all RealDrums again.
