Need help routing VST effects bus via Steven Slate Drums 4

My initial question about Steven Slate 4 was this:


"I have breverb reverb plugin which sounds great to add room verb apart from it destroys the cymbals.  Is there a way I can isolate the drum hits, and send that to a stereo effects bus?"


I got an answer:


"Create an AUX in mixer and then go to a drum's edit settings and route the mics to the aux. Then in the mixer, route the aux to its own track in your DAW. Then put the reverb on just that part."

Can someone walk me through the bold area?  Step by step would be great.  When I click on any part in the SSD mixer aux I created, I can;t see an option to route it to the effects bus I created in X1.

Sounds like you're mixing your drums inside SSD yes?


If, and I'm only suggesting this as a workaround, if you do all your mixing in Sonar, and route each kit piece out of SSD into it's own audio track in Sonar, you can set up whatever sends you want to feed into brevrb which will now be on a Sonar Aux bus.

Haha, don't tempt me.  I can do without 30 tracks.  Plus I'm kinda newbish..how would I go about that?  Avoid create XYZ because I probably don't know how to and where to go etc, haha.  If you don't have SS4, I suppose it will be hard for you to explain to a guitarist.

Hey Jonesey,I'm only just now realising individual drums should be set up as MONO!

It only takes me a year to work out the simple stuff,it's why I've put BFD2 on the back burner.

Hi,with Slate 4,you can place room,overheads,also each piece,and for certain setups,you can have multiple mic positions on the snare,each with it's own fader.

I'm still working it out[obviously] but you can get just as "dry" sounds with SSD,as with BFD,and apparently,like the OP's quote says,you can add channels to the mixer in Slate,also the cymbals,are what got me in.

Ambient 3 or 3rd sounds interesting,I just don't have the time,or the braincells to start from scratch, which I  found with BFD,I'm sure,I will get into it before this decades out though[I hope!]

I just wish I'd either bought BFD2 earlier,or I'd saved my money,as SSD4 is so instantly usable,after going through EZ,SD3,SD2,ssd3.5 in Kontakt,but I jumped on the $149 sale as I'd heard how extensive it is.
