Also, if you're using Studio Drummer then it comes with some prepared MIDI grooves in various styles. Go to the "grooves" tab. Select the groove you want from the list (you can preview the groove by pressing the play button in the box on the top left of the grooves, just to the right of where it says "Studio Drummer." When you find one you're happy with, drag it across to the drum track in Sonar. To do this, you drag from the little icon in the bottom right of the box I just mentioned - it's 4 triangles arranged into a diamond). 

Sorry about that wind,  I had Studio at one point and thought it was included

Do you have SI-Drums? 

"Also, if you're using Studio Drummer then it comes with some prepared MIDI grooves in various styles. ...

That works; I dragged the "groove" in the track (step sequencer); and now, there is a lot of rhythm. :-)

I got a video coming in about 5 minutes, keep you posted.

its on basic midi recording using a keyboard/with SI drums in sonar x2

here this should help out a bit  :)

 Hello, for the first time, I want to record a simple drum beat (4/4) in Sonar X1 Studio. Is there a possibility to do that (samples, drum synths or something like that)? Is it possible to make the recorded beat slower and faster (if yes, how?)? I also own Komplete (with Battery 3 and Kontakt's Studio Drummer and West African Drums); but I did not manage to record them in Sonar X1. Hopefully waiting for ideas...

Welcome for the first time! (I did not know you can start post count from 60 :o)


Sorry, but I can't help asking: Would it not be better to do the SONARs tutorials and read the manual/watch videos first, and then ask about the parts that you don't understand. Now you sort of ask us to start copy pasting the help files here with no indication that you have actually tried to llearn something by your own initiative.
Well, i do realise the pile of info and work may seem overwhelming...


(and I have a bad morning :o/ )

thank you digi,
 
this was a quick one but I really felt like the forum could use this,
over the last week or so ive seen close to 10 users ask this same question,"why cant I hear my device" "why wont midi show up in the track view".
 
im really trying to get way from drums as a soft synth but half those questions were about sonar essentials that only come with SI Drums.much different than session drummer 3.
 
at any rate your kind words are very appreciated digi.
big time thanks man.  :)

Cool - Im gonna start a new thread cause I have probably what is a simple problem for my dumb butt
