Superior Drummer 2 Multi-Out with Producer Preset?

[Derek Haymore]

Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum. I registered because I just can’t seem to figure out this problem. I’ve searched Google & Youtube with no answers other than Ola Englund’s brief overview in his “Superior 2.0 Metal Drums At Home” video.

Anyway, I’m using Sonar Platinum. When I load Superior Drummer & then load the Producer Preset, it only plays back on one channel. Of course I want it to be Multi-out so I can add reverb & all that good stuff. I looked in the Mixer & it’s very intricately routed & bussed & I’m pretty much lost other than seeing everything is running to outputs 1/2 from multiple busses. lol! 🙂

Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Hi,

it would be easier to give exact help if I knew exactly which Library and Preset we are talking about but if I just grab any example of a Producer Preset:
Bulb Pack – Big and Open

He has routed the mic faders to group busses, i.e. the Kick microphones to the first bus, which is renamed ‘KICK’; the Snare microphones to the next bus, which is renamed ‘SNARE’, etc.
He also has set up a Send to a parallell comp bus with a compressor on it, named ‘COMP’.
If I scroll to the right in the mixer, I can see all these Bus Faders and their outputs set to ‘Out 1/2’.
If I now want them on separate outs in my DAW or hardware mixer, this is where I assign them; the ‘KICK’ bus to Out 1/2, the ‘SNARE’ bus to Out 3/4, etc.

I hope this clarifies.

Thanks for the reply! I was referring to the Ola Englund Preset for The Metal Foundry SDX. Sadly, I’ve already tried your method & it didn’t work for me.

Example: In the Ola Englund preset I have, the snare top/bottom/trash are routed to Outs 1/2. When I manually route them to Outs 3/4 nothing happens. All the tracks stay on the same channel… Any ideas?

Ok. I have successfully routed Multi-out with the Fredrik Thordendal “Bleed” Preset & the MIDI Recording Sessions “Gene Hoglan” Preset. They were routed & bussed so it was easy. I’m guessing some Presets are meant to be on one track? Or is there another trick?

If you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpsKp-vdBLY you’ll see what I mean. He opens Superior in Multi-out & then clicks a + button & an AUX track for each Drum Channel pops up & then he routes everything to a single Bus. The only problem is he’s using Logic & I’m using SONAR Platinum & I can’t figure out how to do it.

Any ideas?

I suspect that this is (although slightly dated) what you want to watch:

Nah, I already know how to do all that. I guess I’ll just have to get in touch with Ola. Thanks anyway John.
