Hi Kenny. Could you do a step by step on routing, customization, FX applied, etc to create the specific sound in this video from these SSD drums. I think everyone is blown away by how good they sound. I just can't seem to re-create it. A downloadable track template or project file from this video would be incredible.

Kenny, those snare ghost notes are the sauce! I need to practice my midi grid editing to get better at this very important phase of midi drum tracking. I have to pay closer attention and slow things down initially. (Guitarist and sooo not a drummer, but absolutely love all things drums) I speak for the masses when I say "Thank You Kenny for the work & passion - always!"

@@ieatacid it gets a little confusing doing it manually the first few times in ssd because of the way the stereo and mono channel routing and channel numbers and the input numbers aren't 1 to 1, 2 to to etc. It takes a little math, a self made chart or counting on your fingers. I just let Reaper do it for me automatically when I load the plugin. It should give a dialog box asking if you want each sent to their own track or just a single stereo track.

Joey, how many tracks do you usually send out from SSD? I like the simplicity that Kenny has here. Do you treat everything like a close mic (like Toms and hats, etc)?

Fantastic tutorial as always, Kenny! So let's say you're using a drum library with different samples at different velocities, would you aim to have your snare hits (for example), say on the two snare tracks each at a similar velocity (but different to the other track), or would you use two different snares in the software?

Could not even imagine trying to play with just fingers on a keyboard..thats some awesome motor skills right there. I run hardware sends from Reaper to 2 old desks (soundtracs and a yamaha), via old motu boxes, along with the rest of the tracks, insert hardware compressors from the desk..it's a glorious mess :) ...i can't tell the difference between SSD and a real kit in a rock mix.
