[MetalCoreGuitarist1]

I have reaper, and the full version of AD when you say "as soon as we do this we're going to be able to hear it play" I get no audio from AD at all! Please help!

Can you edit the Drum patterns in anyway ?

[TutorialsForReaper]

@Pkmeg

? do you mean edit the ADrums patterns afteryou drag and drop them? Sure.. just double click on i and use the midi editor.

[Pkmeg]

@TutorialsForReaper Thanks :)



[Detc0re]

Thank you soo much!! i was stuck with the fuckin master channel..

Would this be basically the same procedure for BFD2? or even better yet, what is the easiest way to get tracks from BFD2 into reaper? ex: create a track with groove pallette, send to Reaper as audio or midi. If i send as audio, I would be able to do my edits and mixing inside reaper, right, if not, i would have to get my mix inside bfd2 first... i think?

Sorry for all the questions, just getting started in recording.

@bassgrooves2

Yes it would be basically the same setup

Folder track

-BFD Host (MIDI)

-Breakout track 1

-Breakout track 2

and so on.

To get this you Right click th VSTi plugin in the FX window and then select "Build multi output" or if you incert a new track AS a vsti (insert > Insert instrument) it will prompt you to see if you want to build the multi audio outputs.

In BFD you will need to tell each track to send to a certain output though.

Thanks so much for the info and for the killer tuts! I as noodling around with this for a wholelast night and I think I have a decent understanding of it now, I just need to watch your vid on creating the presets again so i can load it all up. So much you can do with REAPER. Thanks again for helping!

[Razorkid666]

can anybody please help me? i want to insert my guitar pro drumtrack into AD in reaper. is that in anyway possible and if not? what can i do?

[megaluisdeth]

@Razorkid666 Still need help???

[JoeWithers100]

Awesome Tut man :)

[mucknog]

But why would someone record audio on his hdd, when he's already got midi data triggering a drum VSTi?

[TutorialsForReaper]

@mucknog

Well this was a request form someone on the website :-)

And you would do this so that you can free up some CPU power/ram/sample access time.

Or maybe to edit audio instead of Midi... Options :-)

[mucknog]

@TutorialsForReaper

Thanks for your answer, and the time, making those tutorials.

I still prefer editing midi instead of audio, but you gotta do what fits your work flow, I guess. :-)

[rangyui]

awsome tutorial. thanx bro. blessings

[trulynot]

Dumb question sorry but how come you got the confirmation popup when you deleted the master ADD track ? I dont get a confirmation popup when i delete tracks.

[TutorialsForReaper]

@trulynot

I may have modified the track prior to deleteing it... I guess the important part is that you can delete the AD master track if you are sending each instrument out individually.

[trulynot]

@TutorialsForReaper Okie doke, I dont get why anyone would want to route ADD to sep tracks in the first place. That kinda defeats the purpose of the mixing board and very good presets that seems to be the guts of the software. I mean anyone can whack together drum samples and midi, but ADD really puts effort into...well, taking the effort out of making awesomely realistic drum tracks with different production treatments.

[iClownnn]

Is it easy to import your own midi to addictive drums / reaper? ex: Export midi drums from guitar pro, and import to reaper using addictive drums sounds.. Any way you can make a tut on that or know of one? thanks

[TutorialsForReaper]

@iClownnn

Well each program has its own way to translate the midi notes to sounds. So it is possible to pull different drum parts from different programs into Addictive Drums, But, You might need to create a custom mapping IN AD.

[iClownnn]

@TutorialsForReaper I actually found something called "MidiFileMapper". It's GM to AD re map. It has options for ez drummer and a few others as well.

[365daysgone]

how do you ADD Addictive Drums VST into Reaper!? Thats what I need a video ooooonn!!!

[TutorialsForReaper]

@365daysgone

you mean adding VSTs? lol

Options > Preferences > Plugins-VST > Browse for your VST folder... usually located at C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugIns.

After that Click Re-Scan... it should pop up as long as you installed it correctly with th AD installer.

Hope that helps. send me a private mesage if you need more help... we can Skype or something.
