So, I'm using C_Balad as a "style" for "Amarillo by Morning"....I go to the StyleMaker icon and select drums and delete all the patterns that contain obnoxious cymbals (A, B, drum fills, and endings), do a "save as" and rename to my liking. Hit play and I still hear this rude off-beat open hat the most ridiculous places. Go back to editing and can't find a pattern that has the hat in it! I've tried closing the program and re-opening the file and everything else I can think of....
Is there a way to visually monitor the drum patterns that are being played in each measure in order to locate the offending ones?
Note: I am using an old version (2004) of BiaB. I put this program away years ago because of the difficulty in editing the horrible drum patterns and now remember why I disliked this program before. I've used midi based sequencers and software since the mid eighties and don't ever remember dealing with pattern writing that was so unintuitive.
With the software in my day, I can remember writing a drum part, bass line, keyboard part, copying and pasting and be into song writing in 10 minutes......BiaB is more like 10 days for me!!
Am I just becoming a crusty old man too?
