Need some midi drums advice

Post by gron » Tue May 24, 2011 12:14 pm

Hi guys,

I'm mostly new to this so bear with me, I'm trying to work out the best workflow for the following...

I'm building up rock tracks (real recorded bass guitar over drums a this stage)

I have Addictive drums VST plugin, built a custom kit, found a loop that made a good starting point, dragged it to a midi track and started tweaking and moving beats around in the midi note editor, changing velocities, copy sections etc to suit my needs.

I've done about a quarter of the song but am having trouble programming it since I can't loop single sections of the beat and listen to the live recorded guitar tracks at the same time. If I select an area of my midi note editor it will just start my real instruments from the first bar of the song rather than the part that I have selected on the midi track. I hope that makes sense.

Do I need to split up my audio track a bunch of times? Should my drums be in separate pieces (not just one midi track)?

Thanks
