RE: Drum Remix - Intensely Annoying
Thanks for the responses guys.
Jules I had figured this work around but I'd just prefer that Steinberg fix the problem!
Kilo your example about the hi-hats is exactly what I meant. By reducing the note lengths to 7 ticks it absolutely massacres open hi-hat and cymbal patterns, but it also even wrecks drums with faster decays like snares and kicks.
I like to be able to remix the parts onto separate tracks because it's easy to edit the mix (like Sox suggested). What I like to do is make up some rhythms and variations with all the sounds in the drum map, then separate onto individual tracks. Then I can easily build up the drum track by recombining parts of the rhythm, muting, trying rhythms on different sounds by transposing in the inspector, cutting and pasting etc.
Sox you can *easily* edit velocities in the drum map, just click on the little icon on the bottom left corner to bring up the "inspector" - then you can select "velocity" and edit individual beats, graphically draw in velocity fades and swells etc (great for weird effects and snare rolls).
