Before mixing, you want to have your tracks in audio in order to have unchangeable performance. They’re programmed to variate the hits and use different samples even though the velocity is practically the same. Drum plugins (and other software instruments that are feeded by midi) play same notes slightly different every time.Drum plugins can eat up humongous amounts of memory of your computer, especially if you’ve routed or duplicated the plugin. You need to save the precious processing power, as you need it for mixing with plugins too. It will free up the processing power of your computer.As you’ve reached the point where you don’t need to make any more changes to the drum notes – and you are ready to mix – you should bounce (render) the tracks to audio. Now you should have the drums on individual tracks. Name the tracks and leave only one drum per track (kicks to kick track, snares to snare track etc.) Delete all of the other hits from the tracks. Duplicate the track and the midi content over as many times as needed (as many drum tracks as you need).ģ. At first, you have the drum beat in a single track.Ģ. In case, you’re using a stock plugin or a plugin that has no option for routing, do it the following way:ġ. Open the plugin and activate the “Out” button (marked with a red square) from the drums you want to send to the created drum tracks. Click the + sign (marked with a red square) to add individual drum tracks.ģ. In your DAW as you select the plugin, select the one with multiple outputs, not stereo.Ģ.
For example, Addictive Drums let’s you do the routing the following way:ġ. Whichever plugin you’re using, you can surely find the instructions on how to do that on the manufacturer’s site. All the drum plugins have different ways of routing the drums. Most of the drum plugins come with the option to route different drums to different tracks. The first step is to separate the drums to different tracks. This is where you take your good sounding, realistic midi drums and take them to the next level. As you’ve already read my earlier posts “How to Make Realistic Midi Drums” and “How to Create Midi Drums Faster”, the next logical step is to learn how to mix midi drums wisely.
