Separate tracks for each drum in Cubase.

[glowtone]

Sorry if I’m being dense here.

In EZDrummer you can load a groove, then set each drum to a different midi channel (there’s even a multi channel option to do it for you) then in Cubase select a different output and it will spread the different drums over different tracks.

There are a hundred vids on youtube showing you how to do this and it’s completely trivial.

I now have Superior Drummer 3 and I can’t seem to do this? Neither are there any vids telling you how? I don’t want to bounce a finished part I just want to be able to separate the drum groove in SD 3 into different tracks in my DAW so I can process them individually.

What am I missing? As I said, forgive me if I’m being stupid, I’ve trawled through lots of pages on this forum and can’t find it referenced.

Thanks.

In the ‘Mixer’ dropdown menu on Mixer tab in SD3
(on the left side of the window, above the mixer channels, below [File] menu),
there is option to ‘Apply MultiChannel Output’

1.a Once done how do you import each channel into logic? Right now I bounce each to a wave and bring it in. It’s time consuming.

1.b loyalty discounts.

Okay thanks but that doesn’t do anything.

I can select S3/4  S5/6 etc but nothing happens.

In EZ Drummer it opens new tracks but in SD3 it doesn’t, nothing happens.

I own Cubase 10.5 but I don’t use it enough to be a good teacher.
I opened a session and created 2 Instrument Tracks, putting EZDrummer2 on one track
and SuperiorDrummer3 on the other, selecting Multichannel Outputs on both virtual instruments.

I found no difference in activating the Cubase channels for each virtual instrument.

Logic ‘activates’ AUX channels in the mixer when a multichannel instrument is selected.
In this case, 16 stereo AUX tracks are created for SD3.

It is then your task to route each SD3 mixer channel output to one of these 16 AUX channels’ inputs.

PS. EZDrummer2 operates in the same manner.

Hi guys, I just wanted to pop in and offer my profuse apologies for the hit and run nature of this thread.

 

The night I posted this query my partner came down with suspected Covid and was very rough for a couple of weeks, I caught it off her as she was recovering and due to a pre-existing lung condition I was laid low for a further 3 weeks. We have both made a full recovery now but on booting up the studio for the first time in a couple of months I suddenly remembered this thread!

Thanks for all the responses, I think I have sussed it out after a lot of faffing, using a rack instrument in Cubase and setting the multi-outs manually seems the best solution.

If I have any queries about SD3 in the future I promise to respond in a little quicker than 2 months!

 

Thanks.
