Send X Drums to Reverb & Ambience Tracks

[Steve Stevens]

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to send X Drums to Reverb & Ambience Tracks? I can’t seem to sort that out.
Thanks

Do you want to send the added instrument (Xdrum) to a Bus, or make it sound in already existing mixer (microphone) channels?

To get them to a bus:
– make sure the added instrument has got its own channels in the mixer, for its close microphones (e.g., there should be User Mic Channels, labeled after the instrument)
– Add sends to the wanted bus(es) on those channels

To get them to (microphone) channels:
– right click the instrument, in the menu select More / Route Instrument Microphones
– In the top of the list, you’ll see the close microphones – the instruments main microphones. Further down are the “bleed” mics, mics that was further away from the instrument when recorded. If the library you are working in has a mixer (microphone) reverb channel, your added instrument needs to have a similar microphone in the list. If so, route that microphone to the Reverb channel. If it doesn’t have any reverb channel, you can try to route any of its ambience channels – since those have a room reverb.
If no microphones are suitable for using as reverb audio, I suggest that you use a reverb plugin and add to your instrument…

Much information here, but I hope something of it was of value for you ?
