adding reverb to midi drums seperately. Kic,snare toms etc?

ORIGINAL: ascottdesign

That EZ drummer set up looks really cool Steve...Will need to check this out...

It's a great bit of gear Alan - really excellent sounds and so easy to use!

HERE'S just the drum track I did for one of our VeRy MeTaL songs if you want to hear it in isolation.

also, I like to seperate the tracks so its easier. maybe I would do the highhat and cymbals on 1 recording. then overdub the kick and snare. then the toms. its just easier to overdub then to do everything at once.

the boxes I have checked when you first open it are Midi Source, All synth audio outputs:stereo,Synth rack view,
on Display automation part I have First synth audio selected. also recall assignable controls and ask this everytime are checked.

well, I read the manual and it says: You can however route any instrument or microphone to
any of the 8 available stereo tracks mapped to EZdrummer’s
outputs. This will allow you to benefit from the maximum
flexibility that your sequencer has to offer.
To perform the above click one of the mixer tracks and
select multichannel. This will select the most appropriate
routing for the kit. Of course your host has to be set up
accordingly to capture these outputs (see your application’s
manual for details). So I selected multi track on the first track and it assigned each mic to a track exactly like steves picture. When I tried to record it still is recording only in 1 track and not seperating the drums on different tracks. maybe my host isnt set up to capture theses outputs?

also, does anyone know how to turn off the touch sensitivity on a MIDI KEYBOARD. I may want to have every bass drum kick at 127 to get that boommy consistency but for cymbals and keyboards I prefer the touch sensitive.

I guess I have to keep the tracks with overhead and room so I can hear the cymbals. whats the point of the second snare?

thanks Beagle, WEll, Im expreimenting and to record seperate tracks I am cloning the midi track so I can record again. Like I said before I am recording kick and snare on 1 track, clone, record over the clone the highhat,ride,cowbell or what ever is keeping time.,clone,record over with toms, clone,record over with cymbals. Its not always like this. sometimes I have the highhat,ride , and cymbals on 1 track so ther are 3 midi tracks. It makes it easier for me to edit the timing if I view the track in staff view and only have a couple of parts to look at and is also easier to record seperately than to play 2 hands and 2 feet worth of stuff with 2 hands. my concern is after cloning these midi tracks I have 4 midi tracks. can I some how view all my drum tracks in 1 view on seperate staffs to edit the right notes?
also, when recording say keyboards I insert cakewalk tts-1, I select first synth audio output. it pops up with 2 tracks. a midi track to record and another that says waveform preview. usually to record a sound I will select the midi channel I want to record on, 1-16, select the sound I want, lets say strings, press record and do my thing. when Im done with that I may want to add a piano track so I clone the mid track because there is only 1 with record on it. open the synth rack, select a different channel,select piano and record. I guess Im wondering if there is a way that I dont have to clone the track to record another track?

ok, I think I just figured it out. load the tts-1 like i did. It will have a midi track and the other track. go up to insert/multiple tracks/under midi select the number of tracks I want to record onto/ put the port to tts-1. then I will have 4 midi track I can record onto with 16 possible different channels. Can I only record 16 different instrumennt sounds if there are only 16 channels? Or would I open another tts-1 and it would give me 16 more so I would have 32. and so on?

If you want more than 16 channels, then yes, you'll have to load a 2nd instance of TTS-1. in the OUTPUT for the MIDI track it will look something like this: TTS-1 2

great! go forth and make hit records!

can I use the audio effect tracks on the midi tracks. maybe if I sendthe output to a bus?

wow, I have forgot all this. I'm trying to get this going again. Are you guys still on here? so if I wanted to add reverb to just the snare and  toms, How would I go about doing that? would I send the snare and toms to a bus that has reverb on it? I'm using MC7

Ok I think I may have figured it out. I went to my second drumtrack which was the snare and inserted an fx of reverb then adjusted to my liking. I'm thinking that if there is a way to send to a bus it might be better. IDK

I'm good Reece. Just trying to get back into this. Trying to remember the things I forgot and learn the new. I finally have a setup and a place where I can record which is great. I'll have to experiment with the reverb sends, doesn't sound too hard. Is there a certain built in reverb with Music Creator 7 you recommend? or actually any vst reverb's you recommend? Thanks for saying hi.
