You just need to move the focus to the Track view (e.g. click a track header in the TV) before hitting Num2 or Num8.
Btw, why do you have to record the drums onto individual tracks just because you're using Triton? You don't like using a drum map?
I think I did try clicking the header in the TV, but still couldn't get it to paste into the new track. I may have done something incorrectly -- not unusual for me when I'm learing something new.
As far as recording onto individual tracks rather than using drum maps, the truth is that I tried working with drum maps years ago and never got it right, so I adopted the technique that I'm using on this song. This is an old song that I recorded a few years ago, thus the Triton. These days I've been using Session Drummer, so I just use the mixer to mix the drums and control them individually.
For me old habits die hard when it comes to recording. Once I find something that works without glitches and surprises, I tend to stick with it, even though there may be more sensible ways to work. I burn out fast on solving software mysteries, as I'm sure most people do.
Now I have to go figure out why I'm missing plug-ins in X3. I had them in X2, but they've vanished into thin air. I can't find Addictive Drums, which I know is new for X3, but I'm also missing plug-ins that I was using in X2. But that's another issue that someone else started a thread about a few days ago. I guess I'll go hunt that thread down and see if it helps me.
Thanks for the help from everyone who has offered ideas in this thread. I've learned some new stuff.
