Thanks!
Yes, I can also export tracks for the kick bus, snare, toms, HH, OH, Amb, Reverb and Comp without multioutput.
Anyway, I watched a tutorial how to do multioutput in Cakewalk. I have some outputs now…and created tracks for such channels. My drumkit only had out1&2…with some FX sitting there that are added to ALL sound…now that I have multiout, is there a way to add the FX to the entire drumkit instead of adding them to all channels again and again?
Question 2: my snare is too loud. +3 DB…I had increased the kitpiece by 2.0 because the snare was not loud enough. Should I set it to 0? But then I have to reduce the volume for all other kit pieces.
Out 1+2, 3+4 etc. all have the same FX…theoretically, I could remove them and add similar FX to the drum bus in the DAW….but I only have access to audio FX there and NOT SD3’s effects within SD3…so I can only use similar effects, but not the exact SD3 FX of my presets.
PS Does the hihat sound alike in both examples?

Thanks! I did not solo kit pieces. I played the entire mid in SD3 and using ONE output channel vs. multiout. The hihat is an xdrum instrument.
Now I deleted every second kick and snare hit from the blast beat…now the hihat seems to sound the same.
Why are you using an xdrum for a hihat? There’s no need for that. xdrums have a totally different mic setup – wish you had told us this when you started this thread. Xdrums (as near as I know) don’t have bleed on them – at least there’s nothing showing in the SD3 mixer. Use multiout and the regular hihat.
I’ve actually posted a couple of times that I have an xdrum hihat. 🙂 I am aware that it might have gotten lost as I write a lot. 🙂
My kit uses Death & Darkness -> death as the preset with some tweaks and xdrums. I grew up with Guitar Pro 3 and 4 and have used the GM instruments ever since…with 6 toms and two ride cymbals…one ride is panned to the left, one to the right.
I use two hihats (explained in one of my first posts) because a real drummer has to manually change open to closed or vice versa…and playing doublekick while playing a pattern with open AND closed hihats is not possible…but I like it… e.g. doublekick with blast parts and a closed hihat, but open accents here and there all while continuing the doublekick playing. Therefore, the regular hihat is used for many parts with open articulations, closed articulations, pedal work etc… like a real drummer would play. However, the second hihat is always closed…and is next to the first hihat in a virtual room. The always closed hihat is an xdrum and only used in blast parts…like in my example.
This is my kit:
The xdrum hihat goes into the regular HH channel, just like the normal hihat.
The xdrum ride goes has the same effects in its channel, then goes into the OH bus just like the regular ride.
The xdrum tom used as the highest tom has the same effects etc. as the other toms…
All xdrums copy the settings of the regular kitpieces.
When playing back a midi file with the whole SD3 plugin sitting in one track with out 1&2 it sounds like the first example.
The second part of each of the two examples uses multiout…and normally, both should sound alike…but yet the second part (=multiout) in the first example sounds a bit different as if bleed etc. is missing…but the second example sounds ok…and normally, it should sound alike…but all settings are ok…so it might be a bug?
First part: SD3 in one track, out 1&2
Second part: multiout
First part: SD3 in one track, out 1&2
Second part: multiout
Should I upload my preset?
