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



I got an explanation here:

But I still can't seem to get my head around it.  Can someone walk me through it?  

I use slate drums and route them to individual tracks in Sonar.  From there, I send to a drum bus, there is where you could use Breverb.  Just don't send cymbols to that bus.

Yea, its pretty much standard to have each drum on its own track so you can control each one differently

Thanks.  How do I route a SS drum to a newly inserted individual track?  So i just right click and insert say 5 new tracks for 5 drums...But how do I get say the snare drum to the new track I inserted?

Can you walk me through it?

Two things. 

First, when inserting the Slate plugin choose to have an audio output for each output.

Second, in Slate v3, there is an option to Reset Output Map. I would guess there is something similar in Slate v4.

What tunekicker says in his first point, then go to the mixer screen in ssd where you can route each instrument to its own output. Remember that there are also room and overhead mics that too - everything will be routed to the first audio output and it can be confusing when you reroute a drum but still find it coming through the first output (via these other mics)

Umm,
Yep,SSD4 to "Construct Kit" and also "mixer page" with each drum piece,then you can just add an Audio Track in Sonar,then change the individual drum pieces in SSD's "out"s to match Sonars Audio track" ins"[sometimes theyr'e different No's. you have to experiment].
What I do is set up a "Project Template" and Save,so it then turns up as an option for a "New Project",with Track "1" in Sonar the standard "Instrument track" for the SSD synth,then add 2 Audio tracks,and route the "in's" of the NEW 2 audio tracks,to the OUT's of the "Kick,and Snare",and then,instead of a track for EVERY piece,track "one" is isolated with the cymbals/overheads/toms/room sound,and I can have totally separate deals for the Kick/Snare.....better than all on track one,less mess than every track,for every piece,anyway that's the way I'm using SSD4 ATM. Hope this makes "some" sense.

Hey Bob.  Sorry I'm just learning the basics with Sonar x2, and am not very familiar with the routing multi outputs, buses, etc.  Could you give me a detailed step by step instructional on setting up a multi-output template for SSD4 in Sonar x2?  I've YouTubed everything I can find, and I only see SSD4 Multi Output video tutorials for Cubase Pro Tools Reaper Logic .. basically every single DAW out there EXCEPT Sonar ... why I don't understand.  Thanks for the help brother!
