I’m not sure I follow what you mean?

That’s great to hear - thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

If I remember correctly, this should be the same process for transferring to Cubase

You’re welcome!

I don’t use Reaper but I think the process should pretty much be the same!

Yes, absolutely! The only reason I didn’t have a preamp in the unison slot is because I was tracking with a hardware API preamp, otherwise I’d have done exactly that. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

You’re welcome - glad you liked it!

That it helped!

You do the same thing but when it’s copying over the plugin the plugin you’re copying over will highlight blue around the edges, instead of just above/below it.

That’s strange! Which DAW are you using? And are you dragging it to a MIDI track?

You’re welcome - thanks for watching!

There are so many things that I do and forget! If you’re not doing some tasks frequently they don’t always stick - very annoying! Hope this helped 👍

Of course! Once you’ve done the MIDI capture, you can just use that to play back any software instrument. Just set the correct MIDI note for each kit piece before the capture (although you can still adjust afterwards in the MIDI file if you need to). Depending on which DAW you’re using, you’ll be able to playback from the MIDI chance on put it on an instrument channel. You can just copy and paste the MIDI notes from each kit piece onto the same MIDI channel. Make sense?

Oh man this is mind blowing! Ok so I can have kick, snare, and toms (5 tracks total) all on separate tracks that were recorded live, then insert trigger 2 on each individual tracks to capature midi, then assign the midi notes to the notes to “one of the drum kits” on one instrument track with superior drummer 3 inserted. In other words, can it be done with superior on one instrument track and all 5 tracks be midi routed with the proper midi numbers all routed to a that single instrument track or do I need to have 5 instrument tracks with superior on each of the tracks? I will be experimenting tomorrow to try to figure this out for this is all new to me. I I cant thank you enough for getting back to my post!

Yeah, you got it. Superior drummer basically just wants a MIDI track (or instrumental track) to play it back, Trigger is just creating that for you, albeit on separate tracks. Just copy the data from each one over to one MIDI or instrument track, and that’s what you’re using for SD. Let me know how you get on!

Hey James, I was able to merge the separate drum tracks into one instrument track! And was able to map the midi to the correct midi notes for the individual drums, however there are apparently more than one midi note assigned to to each drum. Example there are many for the snare like Center (this what I set the number) then there is rim, sidestick etc midi notes which I didn't set because I don't think the sample has all that information. So I just set them to center and I get the sound but don't know what to set the other numbers to or even if I can. What do you think? Thanks again-James!!

Is this in Superior Drummer? I think so. Just set to centre, that’s the main hit. The other ones are different articulations. For example, you can switch the note to that articulation if you want it to play that back, otherwise, just leave it on Centre

My go-to sample pack is this one - it’s basically got so much of what you need! www.hitkitsamples.com/ But I’m sure you could find similar samples in Logic - there’s a huge amount already included!

You’re welcome - I’m glad it’s helped! I’ve done a video on VocAlign Project, but haven’t used the Ultra version so can’t help you there just yet!

@@JamesArterMusic Thanks ! 🥰

Thanks! It’s on sale at the moment in case you wanted to grab a bargain 🙂

That’s interesting to hear! And good to know a cheap amp did a good job. Yep, it’s definitely interesting seeing how the amp can affect the sound so much, and an important thing to know. Thanks for watching!

That’s Slate SSD5.5

Thanks a lot! Make sure you check out the full video on my channel, if you haven’t already 🙂

@@JamesArterMusic I watched the full video! It makes so much sense!

Thanks for watching!

That works too!

Thanks for watching, I'm glad it helped! A few people have asked me the same question, so I just recorded a video for you. Follow the link below or check it out on my channel. Hope that helps! czcams.com/video/PRdNFtZQaGI/video.html

@@JamesArterMusic appreciate the reply, but I got it figured out. The issue was only regarding the specific note settings for midi In on trigger, setting up trigger on the new Midi track instead of sending to through the aux, and disabling the L/R pre fader sends of the snare and click tracks.

Ahh man, the Astoria will always hold a special place in my heart - so many gigs and wonderful times! Yep, sadly, another venue savagely culled. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot!

That’s very kind, thank you. And thanks so much for viewing and subscribing!

It’s definitely useful to have a sub! Not everyone with NS10s will use a sub though, as a different set of speakers will be used to check the low end

You’re welcome - glad it helped!

Thanks for watching! Ahh, I should’ve done that. Maybe I can add something to the video for you. The waves ones is great but is no competition to the slate one. However, in comparison to the UAD one, there’s not as huge a difference. It would be great to hear it against a real pultec!

You’re welcome!

It’s a great trick, isn’t it! You’re probably right on the level matching, I usually do but probably didn’t get it quite right for the example. Just from inserting the SD-PE1 does affect the sound a bit, so that’s probably where the extra brightness comes from. Sounds quite good though!

Hi there! Thanks very much for subscribing! I don’t usually run into many phase issues with parallel processing but yes, it usually does increase the level. Sometimes I will level match but sometimes the level increase isn’t a problem. You should definitely try this on your djembe, I bet that will sound great!

Thanks for watching!

Excellent! Good to hear. Hope it helps and thanks so much for watching 🙏

Thanks for that!

Thanks for watching!

Nice - you’ve had those a long time! Are you happy with the amp? Ever tried a different one? Absolutely, his mixes - and that one in particular - are still incredible!

Thanks for watching!

Here you go mate! Follow the link below or find it on my channel. czcams.com/video/PRdNFtZQaGI/video.html

Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome - glad it helped!

I bet that sounds lovely! And yeah, just have that whole chain in Console. Treat it like that’s your hardware recording chain. And in response to your other question; no, precision channel strip is for the EQ really. I don’t have any preamp in my unison slot but that’s on it because I was tracking through a hardware API preamp. If I wasn’t doing that, I’d have put something in the unison slot too

@@JamesArterMusic appreciate that. Right now I don’t have anything in that slot. I have default pre amp plug ins but I’m thinking about purchasing the neve 1073 plug in through UA. The default pre amps don’t allow full control of the input volume if you know what I mean. So i leave the spot blank and manually adjust the input. Any recommendations?

She really is! I was really surprised with how well this worked

You’re welcome - thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, glad it was useful! Hmm, yeah that might work. Not sure it would receive the bussed audio in the same way though. I’ll try it out and see. Or, if you get a chance to try, let me know! Thanks a lot man 🙏

​@@JamesArterMusicGreat! in fact yes, it does work just fine! I've been using it like that on a number of sessions. ;-)

Yes, after vocal correction
