Drum Rack Returns Question
Hello everyone,
I have a drum rack with 3 snares triggering at the same time, slightly off time from each other. Is there any way to send these three pads or chains to one compressor? The returns feature in drum racks seems like a good choice, but that only accepts audio from the sends, a part of the signal not the whole thing. I would just throw a compressor after the rack but I also have my Bass Drum and cymbals in the rack, i only want to compress the snares. Nested drum rack wont work either because I am triggering the snares at different times.
Any ideas geniuses?

Just turn the sends all the way up, and the rack volumes for each part down all the way?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried this, but when you turn down the volume for the chain all the way it stops routing to the sends. It looks like the sends are post-fader in drum racks.

This is what i ended up doing... but this is lame.mike holiday wrote:You can drag the snares out of the drum rack and create new tracks with them...
Is there not a way to put one effect on multiple pads/chains in a rack? If not this is definitely gonna be a feature request from me.
any ideas?

Put the 'Utility' plug phase-inverted in parallel with the Compressor on the Drum Rack return track. It will cancel the un-effected part of the signal and turn it into a serial chain in essence. You need to make sure the levels 'Utility' sees are correct to cancel so perhaps leave the sends at 0db and make your level adjustments for each sample elsewhere in their chain.
