kaboomer Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hi All: Working on an EP right now and using Drummer to handle drum parts for all the songs. For the most part, I like it a lot, but I haven't been able to find a way to break the cymbals out to their own track/channel, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Am I right that the cymbals are mixed in on Overheads, Room A & B, and Leak, but can't be addressed separately. When Tambourine, Shaker and Claps get their own tracks, seems like a strange oversight to skip cymbals, so I'm just hoping against hope that I've missed something? Thanks!

David Nahmani Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Am I right that the cymbals are mixed in on Overheads, Room A & B, and Leak, but can't be addressed separately. Yes. This is typical of acoustic drum recordings, since you can't possibly have a mic pointed at a cymbal that doesn't also pick up the sound from the other cymbals and to a lesser extent the rest of the kit.

kaboomer Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thx David - pretty much what I expected. I'll find workarounds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleozzy Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 If you absolutely have to have the cymbals on a separate track, you can convert the Drummer regions to MIDI, duplicate the track, and mute / delete the non-cymbal notes (and do the opposite on the drum-only track).
