[SOLVED] How Do I - Addictive Drums - output to separate audio tracks
Short summary of what I'm asking: how can I get separate audio tracks (one audio track per kit piece) from midi that I've recorded in Addictive Drums?
I've been using both Session Drummer 3 and external sound modules for drum sounds prior to X3. I like Addictive Drums and am trying to accomplish what I have been able to accomplish previously softsynth-wise with Session Drummer 3.
I have a Roland TD-12 as my input controller, but I'm not using the sounds from the TD-12.
Addictive Drums comes with a nice mapping feature, when you click the help question mark in the top right corner, that allows you to select popular drum controllers. So I found the TD-12, and mapped the inputs.
I prefer separate midi tracks for each kit piece so it's easier to edit. After using the mapping, I now (as I did with Session Drummer 3) have a midi track for hi hat, snare, kick, toms, etc. That's all working.
With Session Drummer 3, I could assign the output of each of the kit pieces to an output channel of sorts, and then I had an instrument track receiving each channel, so I had an instrument channel each for hi hat, snare, kick, toms, etc. Then when I froze Session Drummer 3 I had the separate audio tracks ready for mixing separately balance-wise in the console, and available for the overall mixdown.
I've accomplished getting the separate midi tracks in Addictive Drums. I originally inserted the Addictive Drums softsynth with include all output tracks, and so I have a bunch of instrument tracks. I tried setting the instrument track inputs according to the choices that came with that insert. There are choices for hihat mono left, and a choice for snare mono left, and kick mono right, etc. as inputs. The problem is, I can only get the kit piece sounds to get to instrument tracks if I choose the master stereo as input. When I choose any of the specific inputs, like kick mono right, I don't hear anything in the instrument track.
Can anyone make a suggestion how I can get to separate audio tracks, per kit piece, from Addictive Drums?
