That’s very long-winded, compared to a single hotkey.

SOLVED: deleted TD-1 in Audio & Midi Setup and it reinstantiated once I turned the module on and off again. 🙂

I’ve been doing the same thing for ages with velocity gating, and it seemed to work well. However, I recently noticed something that’s got me scratching my head.

I added a bell shank articulation to my ride, to be triggered when I hit my ride pad hard. The sound I wanted was a single super-compressed mono overhead, but I noticed that the stacked bell articulation was coming into the mixer on a new channel labelled ‘X-OH’, and so wasn’t present in the mono overhead channel. As this stacked articulation is coming from the same cymbal, I’d expect it to appear in the mono overhead’s Bleed section, but it doesn’t. It would be great if you could trigger specific articulations (as well as stacked pieces) via velocity gate to avoid this kind of thing.

Toontrack is really missing a trick here. They should really start a Line6-esque preset sharing area. Regardless, here’s another preset I made that I’m quite enjoying. Based loosely on the Ronson/Daptones sound.

Love to hear some other people’s contributions, although I totally get it if you’re intimidated by my ninja-like mix mastery. (Yes, I’m baiting you to post some presets! ?)

[noisyneil]

Should mention that the mapping is all set up for V-Drums, so you may want to reset all that. Let me know what you think of the presets! Think I did a decent job with Bonham and Purdie at least. 🙂

[noisyneil]

Still nothing?!

Well, I’m happy to share mine.

You’re 100% right about the china stack! I had to drag the column out wider to see the whole name! Doh! Still, there’s more low end than any other cymbal, so I don’t think it’s a case of it being a china stack rather than a regular crash.

No issue. I think I’ve probably posted this in the wrong place; I was really trying to let Toontrack know for future updates. A bit like when my missus tells me I’ve got something in my teeth. No biggie, but I always appreciate it.

[noisyneil]

Again, I appreciate the responses. Perhaps I should elucidate: I’ve got about 20 years’ professional experience as a producer/mixer, so whilst I may be a complete idiot in all other areas of life, I do understand that OH channels routinely receive a low-end cut to deal with rumble and extraneous low mid. It isn’t the issue in this case.

This video demonstrates what I mean. Wear headphones and pay attention to the considerable low end in the right ear when I get to the 15″ Paper Thin Crash.

This is an anomaly and I’m yet to find another sample set with the same issue.

Thanks for the reply and I’m glad it works for your workflow, but I prefer not to have to high-pass the entire OH/ambience channel just because one cymbal is problematic. If you scroll through the crash options, this one stands out as poorly processed, but of course there are plenty of other options; I just figured it might be worth pointing it out. Cheers!

I do feel a tiny bit silly. That makes perfect sense!!!

Thanks for the quick reply!

I think it’s because I’m mixing and matching between Ezdrummer and SD3 kit pieces that the cymbals don’t show up in the overheads.

It’s a deep program for sure. Love it! 🙂

[noisyneil]

I’m probably missing something really obvious and will feel silly when it’s pointed out, but…..

How come there are no cymbals available in the bleed options for “OH Cond”?

[noisyneil]

This is exactly what I was looking for so THANKS!!!

Is it possible to set this as default so that the bell articulation remains in the higher velocity range even when switching libraries/presets? That would be incredibly useful.

Cheers.
