Real Drums-sound issue

[pmolsonmus]

I’ve been using iReal for over 10 years and love it. I was doing a recording project ffor the last several months and came back recently. The update to “Real Drums” or “MIDI” drums has thrown me. Not sure if its just a setting I cant fix, but the “Real” drums have real phase type issues and bathed in reverb even if the mixer is set to off. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. Is it me?

The real drums are recorded loops of a professional drummer and if you try to time stretch audio to a much slower tempo than it was recorded you'll hear some audio artifacts. There is an update available now (2025.10.1) that addresses this by automatically switching back to MIDI drums if you try to play a style at a tempo much slower than its default tempo.
You can always switch to always use MIDI drums for any of the Jazz styles and it will be saved for the next time or other song you play with that style.
