You can go mono for the kick, snare, hi-hats, toms and the flexi tracks and at the same time have stereo tracks for the overheads and room tracks.

Absolutely. I should have made my post clearer - that's how I work it. Great Videos by the way!

depends on how you work, what kit pieces are busy etc. I go the 18 mono route, then group cymbals on 1 bus, snare on another, toms on another and bass another, Then room and overs sometimes. Sometimes I just go stereo drum bus.

Sorry Sausy1981 (Andrew Byrne) - I should've quoted you in my earlier post. 




Now worries man, I appreciate it.

Yep.  18 mono is the way to go if you want individual processing on each track.  It's important you do NOT delete the room and overhead tracks as well.  You lose a LOT of the sound, but you also should lower the volume on the overheads and room as well, or they overpower the other tracks.  Think of AD2 as a REAL drum kit.  When mixing a real drum kit, the overheads and room mic sliders are always set really low, otherwise you get a lot of bleed and extra things picked up in the mics.
 
Thanks Midiboy, if going mono a couple of questions remain:
- I assume all tracks must be routed to a newly created stereo bus. Do all the default pan assignments remain or do I have to start panning each track
Regards,
Leon


I find it easier to pan everything centrally in your drum mixer and use Sonar to pan it all where you want in the mix
