Impulse MIDI Routing with Plug Ins...Help...PLEASE

noharmlessrock · Post by **noharmlessrock** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 12:27 am

I have got a drum track that i have tweaked to such a good place using several plugins.

All i would like to do is route each part of the kit to a seperate track BUT....here's the catch, i REALLY need the original Plug In Effect routed in with each seperate track. Thus far i only seem to get a dry signal when i re route.

There is something that really special that happens and the effects ping pong and bounce off of each other in the single track that is completely lost when i try to recreate the feel of the track and what the effects do to it. it just feels flat.

oh yeah, and for some reason, i cant "group" efx. the item is just greyed out..but thats a seperate issue

many thanks for reading this

Run each impulse out to the seperate tracks without FX, then route all of those tracks to another one that contains all of your FX you used originally.

awesome, that worked, but when i try to "rewire" to pro tools to record it says that my plug in devices are deactivated when live is slaved, thus i loose the feel that the plug in gave the track

what would be an awesome fix, would be to record the 8 tracks seperately in LIVE with the initial effect intact. any thoughts on this would be great!

many thanks

well you could just record arm all 8 tracks and hit record, but then you wouldnt have fx on each one.

If you just want the audio anyways, just duplicate the fx track 8 times and run your impulse outs through there, record arm all 8 and hit record? then just import the wavs into PT.
