mickturner Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hello, I'm working with a producer who is using my logic pro x "drummer" tracks. He asked that I give him the following: Kick on one audio track Snare on another audio track the rest of the drums mixed the same minus kick and snare on a stereo pair. Created a midi version of the track, split them, etc. But somehow I can't solo one drum part at a time...they all solo. I want to solo to identify drums. Any ideas? Thanks, mickturner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 You can either convert your Drummer regions to MIDI and then solo the appropriate notes. Or, you can insert a producer kit instead of the stereo kit. That will let you control each microphone separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Or use the Smart Controls to mute the drums you don't want ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Duplicate the Drummer track twice so you have 3 Drummer tracks. On track 1, mute everything but the kick in the Drummer editor. On track 2, mute everything but the snare in the Drummer editor. On track 3, mute the kick and snare in the Drummer editor. Then choose File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files.

mickturner Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 But I did that but I can't solo an individual drum part, they all go S (solo) as if they are liniked up somehow because they originated from the same drum part. How do I "unlink" them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Try soloing the region instead of the channel strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I "unlink" them? To duplicate your Drummer track, option-drag down the Drummer track header, that creates new independent Drummer tracks that you can solo individually. However if you follow my previous instructions, there's no need to solo anything: just deselect the drum pieces you don't want in the Drummer editor. For example, on track 1, only the kick should stay in yellow. Like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of times where the drummer will start to play flams on the snare if you exclude the high-hat. This option is not a pure mute. It's more like a which drums am I aloud to play!
