Playing live in SD2 and recording in Cubase 8

[bflatman]

I have my drums my drum track in Cubase 8 midi note show cause I did a drag and drop of the groove I wanted into Cubase 8
Previewing fills I noted that I can start and stop on a specific groove, while listening back to the drum track in Cubase. I want to record the the starting and stopping of a specific groove or switching to a different variation fill in superior drummer while playing back the drum track in Cubase 8. I did enable recording on a new midi cubase track and monitoring, begin recording the specif fill but nothing ( midi notes) shows up in the midi track. I can hear the fills but nothing is recorded, suggestions?

On the new MIDI track, did you set the MIDI input to S2?

Thank you sir!

Yes. when I stop recording the area for the midi notes disappears, the greyed out section on the track and no midi note are showing up

I create a SD2 track, lay down the groove by dragging and dropping into the track, then open a new sd2 track but unable record when push “play” button on sd2 on and off at the groove variation i want
does that make sense?

I’m not in front of by Cubase DAW at the moment so I can’t check if that should work or not. I’ve never done it that way. I usually just drag the fills onto the Cubase track that I want to use.

I do drag and drop as you mentioned, it is the filling in with groove fills recording live, or changing the groove variation on the fly that I am trying to work out. Cubase is set for recording the track is armed to record, however when I stop recording the track where there should be midi data disappears and the track is blank.

Thank you again for the assistance.

Ok so it is when you set up Ezdrummer 2 or SD2 with ez player pro. Ez Player pro will do what I want olive and synced to the groove track in Cubase 8 and I can record and change fill variations on the fly Can also just click the ride symbal on a kit and record the ride cymbal bell. Very cool stuff!!!!!!!
