Chapter 7: RealTracks and RealDrums
195
RealDrums styles ending in a caret (^) have variations
available. They are listed here. Where there are two
instruments shown, such as Brushes/Sticks, the first
one plays in the “a” substyle and the second in the “b”
substyle.
[RD Demo] loads and plays a demo of the chosen RealDrum style.
[SongDemo] shows Band-in-a-Box styles that will use this RealDrums style if “Substitute RealDrums” is
selected. The song demo for the style will get loaded.
[BB Styles] shows Band-in-a-Box styles that will use this RealDrums style if “Substitute RealDrums” is selected.
The style will get loaded if the menu selection is made.
[PlayNow] loads the selected RealDrums and starts playback. If you haven’t played the
song yet, since you haven’t generated non-drums tracks, you will only hear drums.
In that case, press Shift+Click to generate all tracks.
The [Stop] button stops the song playback. Click (or Shift+Click) on [PlayNow] to resume.
The [Audition] button doesn’t load the style but instead uses Media Player to play a demo .WAV file for the
style.
[Rebuild] builds the list of RealDrums present as folders in the bb\Drums
folder. If you add new drum styles, press this button to update the list. (These are stored in a
bb\DrumFolderNames.txt file.)
[Defaults] returns the dialog to default settings, which will show all available styles.
Press [OK] to make your selection and return to the RealDrums Settings dialog.
Press [Cancel] to return to the RealDrums Settings dialog without making a selection.
Note: When a song is loaded, played or saved, a yellow hint message will appear if any RealTracks or RealDrums are
missing, listing the files that are missing.
RealDrums Selection in the StylePicker
You can also select RealDrums styles within the StylePicker. Highlight a
MIDI style that you like, and press the RealDrums [Best] button, to see a list
of the most compatible RealDrums styles for that style, or click on the [RD]
button to open the RealDrums Picker and select from all available
RealDrums.
