Hi
Not too much of a problem but things seem a little different from the videos I watch from cakewalk.
I am just getting Into separating drum tracks to Individualy tweak them to what I like.
I use the template from Cakewalk .
I have to change the Master out to Focusrite line 3 to get sound and I think that is right.
I noticed when all set up and choose post fader out,the green button at bottom  and delete the two master tracks.Like that Irish guy says.Get rid of the masters and bounce to wave after being happy with all
I get the drum hits going ,but notice that the drum kick always bleeds slightly into the snare track which shows on the faders.
All the rest are ok.
Is that something you live with??
The drums still sound ok, but I am wondering If something Is slighty wrong there
I have an I7 computer and a focusrite 6i6
Just to recap. Load the template ,but no sound when set up .
Have to change the master to focusrite line 3 and light up the post fader outs green.
All plays ok but Kick drum bleeds over slightly into the snare track.I dd get rid of the two master tracks like on the video.
If I sound a little weird here ,It is because I am not totally sure and I am about 90% there  with understanding It.
I am used to pasting drum wave tracks In ,but I would like to use additive drums to full potential
 
Need a little expert help here.
 
All the best
John

Your question made me investigate this issue because I hadn't really noticed this happening. It does indeed bleed into the snare. I figured out if you open the snare in the mixer at the bottom and turn down "snare buzz" the bleed goes away. It doesn't really change the sound of the snare itself (to my ears anyway.)

Here's a pic:
 
 
The buzz actually activates with tom hits as well.

Hi Rsmc Guitar.
I thought I was doing something wrong but as you said I cannot detect anything strange to my ears.
I am slowly getting my head around this and I will do the same and trim the buzz.
Big thanks for your reply.
 
all the best

Hmmm... you figured that out, eh? I could have sworn you just learned it from me the other day:

If you only hear something when chossing output to Focusrite Mon 3 then you have that set in the mix control software. Normally , for me it's always been Mon 1 for output from master. 
I've never changed mix control from the default since  I don't use it for monitor mixing, I use a real mixer. 
I only use it to change the input settings from line to instrument. or re set the buffer.

So you did. I guess since it wasn't related to the problem I was having I didn't register.

No biggie, John; I just thought it was kind of weirdly disingenuous of Scott to write "made me investigate", and "I figured out" when he clearly learned it from my post in his recent thread. I 'figured it out' by RTFM when I encountered it soon after AD was first bundled with SONAR. It took a while to find because I was searching for the magic word "sympathetic" which appears nowhere in the manual.
 
Glad you got it sorted in any case.
