Chris7777 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I am ready to mix and wondering what to do with my midi drums. Usually I would take each drum (snare, kick, etc) to a new audio track. One to save processing power and to have a track for each drum. However, the producer kits seem to add a lot of options, like overheads and room sounds that normal midi kits don't have as well as having a track for each drum. Do you keep the producer kit up while mixing or bounce each individual track? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Are you already running the kit pieces through their individual mixer channels? Unless there are specific reasons to commit/bounce to audio, just mix them as they are already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris7777 Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 The producer kits seem to run the kits pieces through individual mixer channels. I'm mainly just worried about processing power. I think bouncing to audio would help that rather than playing midi each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) if you're putting plugins on each drum piece anyway, it doesn't really matter whether the source is an audiofile file playing from disk, or an audiofile playing from ram (sampler). The Logic samplers are all very lightweight on CPU use - the bigger drain on CPU power will be the plugins you put on the channels themselves.
