Applying different grooves to sounds in a drum rack?

Post by Infernouk » Sat Aug 13, 2016 12:20 pm

Hey guys

I was wondering if its possible, and how, to apply a variation of grooves to 1 drum rack.

So I have my kit, and I want to put something like a 62% on my 16th's hats and stuff, but then I want to swing the snare hits more strongly than this.

Is there a way to separate out the snares and swing them more? Say 70%, without affecting the other elements?

Or do i need 2 drum rack channels and do it separate?

Cheers!

I just drag the particular notes you want to swing more by moving them manually by the additional amount
So if you have 62% of some 16th swing groove, first make sure that the Quantize slider is at 0 in the groove pool for that groove and then grab the note you want to offset and drag it whichever direction you need. So for more swing drag it left.
You should hear the flam effect pretty evidently.

I have extracted out all my drum voices and therefore can have different lengths and grooves per individual drum voice as each has its own clip, even as I use only one instance of Drum plug-ins like FxPansion Tremor and Softube Heartbeat.
Make some music!
