Cannot hear addictive drums on the track but it is there!

Hi

Ok so I dragged a drum beat onto the track from addictive drums and I can see the waveform but no sound comes out. Other tracks piano etc are fine. Anyone use this plugin and maybe throw me a clue? I'm a novice so it will be likely be something annoyingly daft.(see screenshot)

That's a MIDI performance that you dragged into Cakewalk's timeline.

I'd open Addictive Drums and click on the individual "kit" elements (drums/cymbals)... to make sure you're hearing them.

If you can't hear them, it's almost surely a signal routing issue.

 

ie:  lf you load AD on an audio track (instead of an Instrument track), you have to put the MIDI performance on a separate MIDI track... and route that MIDI track to that particular AD instance.  More complicated... but more flexible.

An "Instrument track" (specifically for using virtual-instruments) combines an Audio and MIDI track.   You assign AD... and drop the MIDI performance on that track.

Jim that works perfectly thanks!

It seemed that you put a midi drum clip into an audio track.

You have to open AD2 into an instrument track, choose a beat clip, put in the instrument track and you hear your beautiful drum music.
