    Hi,

    a simple control of e.g. the Ride Cymbal’s volume is just to select it on the Drums page and lower the volume slider.
    This lowers the Ride’s volume in all microphones it is routed to, e.g. OH, AMB Mid, AMB Far, AMB Mono.
    If you wish to control the ‘Close’ signal (which is going to the OH) of e.g. the Ride, you enter the ‘Route Instrument Microphones’, click the drop-down next to ‘Close’ and scroll all the way down to ‘Create New Channel’.
    This will create a new channel in the Mixer for the Close portion of the Ride’s sound. All bleeds from the Ride will still be routed as it was before.

    Hi John,

    That seems to be working nicely, thank you. One other thing. Is it possible to have the mixer cymbal routing set as default in the mixer whenever opening up a drum kit? Or do I have to re-assign the close cymbal mics every time I open up a different drumkit? It would be nice if it was a default setting in the mixer. I notice in SSD4 whenever you load a drum kit the cymbals are automatically routed to their own mixer channels same with Addictive Drums.

    Hi,

    not that way, no. The Superior approach has always been the virtual drum studio first, so Cymbals go to the OH mics. Different expansions have different setups when it comes to the number of Cymbals and microphones, so having a Default Cymbal ‘Close’ splitting might not be so easy to implement but feel free to put in a request in the ‘Requests & Feedback’ section.
