Can't solo a dry ride sound in SD3 Progressive Foundary

[Boyd Gross II]

I am trying to get a nice and dry ride sound.

On the mixer in SD3 within Progressive Foundary, there is a channel called “Ride” and it is only able to get cymbals and toms and such.  I wanted a channel that would have only the Ride in it so I can make blend without using other cymbals in it.

What should I do?

You need to route the audio from the Ride into its own channel in SD3.

• On the drums tab, right click on the ride and select More > Route Instrument Microphones.
• Topmost, there’s a Close microphone, which usually is a overhead stereo mic.
• Click the target microphone (on the right column) and select Create New Channel in the bottom of the list.

Now you should have a channel in the mixer called X-OH something (the X means that it’s a user added channel) .This channel receives the “dry” sound from the ride, which you can mix as you like.
