Default Help With Recording Drums In Midi Track

After recording the bass kick and snare on a midi track, when I go back and record the hi hat it erases the kick and snare.

How do I go back and record the hi hit without erasing what's already been recorded.

I'm using the keyboard to trigger the high hat. Midi track in PT8.

Thanks in advance.

As flommer stated you might want to enable MERGE...

Also, I would strongly suggest you make new TRACKS for different drum parts and then GROUP those tracks.

For example
Tracks ...
Many Drum Modules/parts default to CH10 with a semi-standardized notes for Instrument for example


KICKDRUM MIDICH10 NOTES B and C
SNARE MIDICH10 NOTES D and E
HIHATS MIDICH10 NOTES F# G# A#
TOMS MIDICH10 NOTES F G A B


With this in mind, make a KICK TRACK and Record your KICKS
Make a SNARE TRACk and record your snares HIHAT for HH stc...

Use your Kick track for Automation (CH10)
This gives you a lot of flexibility to manage and mix your drum kits via real time velocity control per track as opposed to manually adjusting one note at a time.


you can also use the SPLIT CHORD to new track function to segregate percussion/drum parts.
