Hey Kennyh

1. Make 2 copies of your overhead track in Logic so you have 3 in total.  Then edit the tracks by deleting everything but the crash cymbal hits in one track, everything but the ride cymbal hits in the second track, and delete the cymbal hits from the remaining track leaving the hi-hat hits.  Yes, you can do all this in Tracker but I am used to working this way.  Consolidate each of the tracks in Logic and export them to a separate folder.  Add them to tracker from here.
2.  Create a Tempo Map in Logic using the Overhead mic track.  This will capture your live performance. Add the Tempo map to Tracker and then add your audio files.  You should be able to find out how in You Tube
3. I bounce them down from SD3 individually into Logic.  Once again SD3 offers different ways to do this but I am also new to SD3 and hope to learn how to get full use of SD3, eventually.
4. I haven’t figured that one out yet.

I routinely do this for my band.  The drum tracks are completely replaced by SD3 and the Tempo Map captures the ‘live’ feel of the song.  Plus once you drag the MIDI from Tracker into the song track in SD3 you can go in and easily edit the drums.  My drummer gets really ticked off when I do this. When you have a tempo map in Logic you can now easily add Virtual Instruments to your song and have everything in time, like shakers, arpeggio synths etc.

Hope this helps

Colin
