    I purchased Soft Drums. I have never had, nor thought I would ever have, a drum library that would inspire me to start writing. It happened! Tremendous work, Jon. Cheers to all involved in creating this beautiful instrument!

    Cool sounding track. The other day I was driving and a song came in my head I couldn't place, then I realised it was your reverb and delay song :)
    I'm really lazy with drums, one of the few things I rarely bounce down. I often only separate the kick so I can duck the bass.

    I really dig the sound of Soft Drums.
    But, I wish the library have a feature to route each output individually, like in every drum VST (EZD, Superior, Addictive, etc).
    So the user doesn't have to create multiple channels like what you did.

    • @JonMeyer
      @JonMeyer  Před rokem

      That would be nice. The plug-ins you mentioned are not for Kontakt. What Kontakt instruments do you use that implement this feature in an efficient way?

    • @ittou
      @ittou Před rokem

      @@JonMeyer There's some Kontakt library drum that can route multiple output. For example Native Instruments Studio Drummers and DS Drum - RCS Essential (freebies).

    • @SugarpillProd
      @SugarpillProd Před rokem +2

      ​​@@JonMeyer I know with the GGD libraries you can route each track to different channels within Kontakt, and then route them out of Kontakt to your DAW - which I think is what the above commenter was asking for. I believe the Abbey Roads drums would allow this too, though it's been awhile since I've used them, so I could be wrong.

    Lovely sounding drums! I don't use ProTools (or Waves :) but wonder if there is a way in ProTools to do a multi out from Kontakt, and use the individual audio outs as inputs on a subgroup (kick, snare, hh...). My Bitwig template that does all that. I usually start with method I, and then record individual audio tracks when I'm mostly happy with the starting point. Most importantly, it's easy to go back and forth - re-enable the drums instrument/midi track, make changes, and re-record audio parts I'm not entirely happy with.

    • @paulkerriage4470
      @paulkerriage4470 Před rokem +2

      Pretty much what I do. (1) Midi Drum VST on one track, send multi outs to sub-group of 5 tracks (kick, snare, hat, toms, cymbals ) then each track sent to one drum bus. (2) EQ, comp on each track, final EQ and comp on drum bus.

    Hi Jon. Great video. I realise you're all about the Soft Drums but do you have any experience with BFD3? If so what is your opinion. I'm new to it and multi-sampled drums in general. Not so much the 'realness' of the groove but the inclusion of overheads and multiple mic set-ups. Any advice appreciated.

  • @tshrdrums
    @tshrdrums Před rokem

    Can you not just route out into separate channels? Is that a pro tools limitation or plugin limitation?

    @ggeessttaalltt Před rokem

    Why not just route them out of kontakt’s outs to different channels within your DAW instead of copying and duplicating all this stuff? Most libraries will let you do this and it’s much faster and easier on your processor. Best of all worlds. You can keep your stereo mix on one channel and mute it, print em all, or keep ‘em live without much additional overhead compared to running a zillion instances of the same plugin.
