So basically it’s like this — How do we take ezdrummer which has 8 output tracks and assign those tracks to each individual drum and route them to seperate midi tracks in protools? Midi channels don’t seem to have the required input path from EZdrummers outputs. Audio channels do, but then you’re creating an audio recording and loose all midi functionality. We’ve tried several other routing paths, including going through bus channels, instrument tracks and aux tracks, and can’t find a way to get one drum to one midi track. It’s either all or nothing. The goal is to arm all the drum tracks at once, record all or most of the drums for the segment simultaneously, but have everything go to it’s respective channel so that when punch-ins and fills are needed later using only specific drums, – say we wanna add two tom hits in a section where other drums are going, – we don’t destroy or record over the already-created tracks on the other drums.
Recording all ezdrummer tracks in a stereo mix to one midi track seems constricting for this reason.
Alternately — is there a commonly used configuration that offers this flexibility without creating seperate drum tracks? How does everyone else generally do this?
Any advice much appreciated!
