MIDI Drums....Mono or Stereo
Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2021 9:44 am
Hi All,
I'm using Steven Slate 5 "free" drum VST and MC 9 pro. I'm finally getting the knack of using VSTs with multiple outs and setting up child tracks in MC. My question is, which drum pieces should I send to a stereo channel and which ones to a mono channel? Each drum instrument has it's own overheads 1 and 2 and 1 room mic setting. I think all of the mixing for the overheads and room mics would have to be done in the VST because I can only send each of them to their own child track so I think those 3 tracks would be a train wreck of sound. And should those be Mono or Stereo? I'm just curious how some of you approach this and what is kind of the "typical" way of doing this. Also, is there a way to have each drum piece identified on the keys in piano roll like it is when using the Acoustica Studio Drums?
Thanks So Much!
