The above is how I will proceed, and the reasons. Yes, they will by default be wide.but you have the option to pan them tighter as you like.Īlso.I tend to shrink the L/R panning of the default OH and Amb tracks down to like 60-70% of default, which also tightens the entire kit rather than it being super wide.and then the individual Kick/Snare/Tom tracks, I pan accordingly to go with that.WARNING: AUDIO GEEK SNOWFLAKE RANT. TBH.I never needed more than 4 cymbals in a kit setup, so I never used 3+ X-Drums for cymbals, but I do use other X-Drum elements. I never put out more than 4 cymbals.so I leave two of them default, and use X-Drums to bring 2 more closer into the center L/R. You have to make each X-Drum a unique pick/sample.I'm pretty sure that's how it is, and maybe that's what you are experiencing.? I don't think you can pick the same X-Drum cymbal twice or more.and pan each where you want. Not sure of the problem you are experiencing other than it just might be which cymbals you are picking. You are on the right track.X-Drums is what you need to use.and yes, be aware that the AmbMic tracks are also often in play. Not asking for secrets, but I would like to hear some examples of how some of you approach it. I'm running in circles and not sure what to do. But that can't be the right approach, since cymbals should be in the OHs. They sound the same quality-wise and aren't panned as hard left and right anymore. I then noticed that my 'Amb Close' mic, which is always off, also has all the kit pieces, so I turned off the cymbals in the OHs and turned them all on in the 'Amb Close' mic. Hence I couldn't individually pan them anymore. Not sure which is the most 'correct' way though.ĭo you create new cymbals as X-drums and then give them their own channel/mic? I was first trying that, and it was working, but as soon as I would create a 3rd cymbal, it would then route them all to the newest mic channel and disengage the other new ones I made.

I've been messing with it all night on my main kit that I have saved, and it seems there's a few different ways it can be done. I've watched a few YouTube vids and got a little advice in the mp3 forum, but I would like to hear some more input. Doesn't sound horrible, but it is definitely quite noticeable in the few recordings I've done so far.

It seems Superior Drummer by default has all the cymbals panned hard left and hard right.

I'm still very new to Superior Drummer, so please bear with me. Hi all, I hope I'm posting this in the right place.
