Bassfaceus Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 is it me or is this thing a POS. ive spent most of the day trying to do this... the snare and sidestick on Abbey road drummer ouput to the same fader by default i want to seperate them and send them to TWO separate outputs. all my outputs are setup and everything works but i cant work out how to send the sidestick to a different output.. this is the last chance for kontakt its wasted enough of my time as it is. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Here's a shot in the dark: Maybe because it's not possible to have a separate side stick microphone, that option isn't available. I would dive into the documentation, myself. Edited January 28, 2021 by bdickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor7music Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 If you look at the mixer in kontakt you will probably see that the snare and the sidestick are in the same channel/track. AFAIK you can't assign them to separate outputs in CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfaceus Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 thanks guys ..it does seem that the snare and sidestick are being picked up by one mike but surely if one is to have separate drum outputs one isnt expected to treat a snare EQ /comp/rev etc as they would a sidestick.. something wasnt thought thru here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatstand Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 could you not have two separate tracks and two instances of abbey road drums? a bit of a pain I am guessing but it may be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatstand Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 One of the guys who does tutorials has a way to set up a Kontakt template which makes things a bit easier and I have also seen a video with Vikings composer Trevor Morris where he shows how he basically has a template with everything ready to go in Kontakt but with everything disabled(in cakewalk language - archived). He does have assistants to do the heavy lifting for him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 In all the articles I've read even where engineers are using 70 bazillion mics on the drum kit, I have never seen mention of a separate side stick signal. Probably the way this would be accomplished is through automation. Although I have to say that past a certain point adding more complexity to a mix only adds - complexity.
