tips recording with an electronic drumset?
Hey,
I just bought an electronic drum kit (yamaha DTX) and I'm confused about how to record it with MIDI and then use a program like BFD to edit each drum separately. The people at guitar center aren't too clear about it. Anyone able to give me specific advice on how to do this? |

If you're using it with BFD, there may even already be a preset for your kit. Otherwise, it's just about selecting which hits correspond to each channel in BFD. It's pretty straightforward.

BFD forum - FXPANSION
YouTube - but Dan is right just set up your kit to ur computer - via USB then open BFD 2 in standalone and you can begin mapping a kit - so your kick plays the kick on the screen - ect ect

Re: tips recording with an electronic drumset?
There's a DTX Keymap for BFD2 as well as a preset for the DTX on the FXpansion forum. You'll have to experiment with Pro Tools and your I/O to see if you can run at 128 or less samples of latency though...

Re: tips recording with an electronic drumset?
The mapping in BFD2 is about as easy as anything I've ever used computer-wise. The only problem comes when trying to map various hits on a kit piece and your ekit doesn't have enough pads Ran into that when mapping BFD2 to my Yamaha DTXM12 - I had to pick the hits in BFD2 I really needed and let go the rest.

Re: tips recording with an electronic drumset?
With my Roland TD10 kit, SD2 and EZ drummer triggered almost perfect, right out of the box(only had to change the midi note for a pad so I could get a cowbell or sidestick on it). Addictive Drums had a Roland preset and that was great as well. Just put up a stereo Instrument track with the drum VI in the top slot. You can also use a hybrid approach to add more "air" and realism by; use a real hihat(with mic), or use all real cymbals(hat mic and 2 overheads, which adds a lot of "air" to the product) or even use a real snare. Assuming you can also split out all the sounds(from the plugin) to separate tracks, you can also use AUX sends and feed a room reverb of your own(making the final result sound a little more "you" than BFD). There's lots of fun to be had here
