He's provided drum tracks for two projects I'm working on. When I do need a 'real' drummer, I just hit up Abraham Liftin from this forum. I'll give that Hard setting a shot on the kick drum. I'm no drummer, I tried creating my own drum beats with my midi keyboard, but the programmed grooves are more than I need. I will run into “shoddy MT kick drum quality” probably like 2-3 years from now!

I mean, for me the MT kit sounds well well enough, considering I’m not Bonham and/or too picky. My worries don’t reach that far yet, as I can barely “mix” properly. but safe to say I was always the guy who shouted NEVER TOO LOUD before it was trendy. Always the lazy way out.įor me the kick sounds “slightly better” when played at the hardest MT output level (soft/normal/heavy).

I can just copy the old (98% good) tracks/items from my earlier version. If I can’t be arsed to play my guitars again. I started writing the drums anew, and will start creating a text-file in the future, to remember the beats, tempo, etc, better. I've always had a little trouble getting a good Kick tone with that plugin, others have commented in the past that the Kick drum on MT leaves a bit to be desired, but if you're able to come up with a good tone for that, I'd appreciate hearing how you set that up. I can get things pretty close so that I can fine tune things with the Reaper controls and effects. I actually found that if I start by adjusting the controls there once I have all my track routings set up. On the mixer, there are pan controls, level sliders, and a compressor for each track. Does seem a bit complicated I know, but that could be because I missed something on the Drum Kit set up. If you answer No, then everything goes on one track.Īt least that's how I get it to work. The grooves don't always use all tracks from the mixer. What I found I had to do is create the groove I wanted, then watch the mixer to see which drums, cymbals, etc were being used and then change their routing from the mixer to the appropriate track in Reaper. In the Mixer everything defaults to track 1, at least that's how it works on mine, so for instance the kick is routed in the mixer to track 1, but you need to change that to track 2, (you can use any available track, but I kind of like keeping the tracks in order) and so on for all the tracks. Then you need to go into the MT Drum Kit mixer and route the outputs from the mixer to the tracks created in Reaper. If you answer Yes there, it will add 8 stereo tracks, Stereo 1/2 New Track 2 etc. I then select MT Drum Kit from the list that appears, then I get the Routing Box asking, 'Do you want to add the following tracks for this effect'? On my system, I select 'Insert Virtual Instrument ON New Track'.
