more audio outputs to soft synth?

hello everyone. This might sound really dumb of me, but i've read the manual (multiple times), i tried searching online...but no luck. ok, what i need is this: if i open (for example) the soft synth "session drummer 2" it creates 1 audio output track and 1 midi track in a track folder for the soft synth....at this point, i NEED to edit each individual sound (kick, snare, hihat....) seperately (different audio outputs). i already know how to make 2 seperate midi tracks (or just clone the 1 midi track and record new midi), but i need to somehow assign the seperate midi tracks to seperate audio outputs....hope this makes sense...i'm also wondering if it works with any plugin, or if it depends on the plugin...mainly need it for drums. thanks in advance

    when you choose INSERT>SOFTSYNTH>SESSION DRUMMER 2, a window pops up. that window has choices - one of the choices to make is either ONE OUTPUT or ALL OUTPUTS MONO or ALL OUTPUTS STEREO.

    aah, ok. that makes sense, but can you make separate midi tracks from that window as well? how do you know which sound goes to what output?

    no, not really. there's an option to create a MIDI SOURCE TRACK, but it only creates ONE MIDI track.

    as far as which sound goes to which output that depends on the softsynth. you have to open the properties of the softsynth (in this case SD2) and tell it which parts of the kit to send to which outputs. I'm at work, so I can't give you specific instuctions on how to do that right now.

    ok. thank you so much for you help! i'll try out different things, and if i can't figure it out still (most likely the case) i'll just wait until you can reply with a full instruction :) thanks again. i really appreciate your help!

    hey beagle, just to let you know i figured out how to do what i was asking in session drummer 2, i love how easy they make it (And how dumb i can be at times. ha.) but ya. thanks for the help. although i'm still a bit confused because when i select an input for the audio track, it says like "session drummer 2 in:1" then it has that in stereo and each individual left and right, then it just skips to like "session drummer 2 in: 3"...and it skips like that, it's like it has input 1,3,7,9 or something like that, why is that?

    there should be separate inputs for Session Drummer 2 IN 1 L and Session Drummer 2 IN 1 R - don't worry about the numbering for whatever reason they skip even numbers and just use the Right and Left as the determination between the two channels.

    the other PITA with session drummer is that each channel is STEREO not MONO - i mean, who has stereo kick drums??!! means you have to have double the fx too, unless you get very creative with busses...that's the one thing i really hate about session drummer...

    so if i were to assign the snare to 2, would i put the audio track to "session drummer 2 in 1R?

    if you do 'insert>softsynth>session drummer 2>enable mulitple audio outs', then open the sd2 GUI, and change the number under each icon to a diffeent one (kick1, snare 2 etc) then each drum automatically gets its own audio track and you don't ned to manually assign in or outputs...

    AH! ok, that totally makes sense now, the way i messed up is that i added multiple midi tracks, and so i thought i had to try to assign everything manually...that's really convenient actually. thanks for your help! both beagle and mgh! thank god there's forums made for newbs :) haha.

    np! i don't hang around here too much these days, but Beagle, Boten, Dave and others do! best place to learn! and don't forget to frequent the songs forum, and the coffee house for some OT chat...
