Ok i am looking at recording my songs with programmed drums. So yesterday i setup a template for ezdrummer in cubase. My plan is to program the drums and a scratch guitar track, then convert the midi to audio. Then record the proper guitar/bass.
So the template i made goes like this:
2 instances of ezdrummer set to multitrack out sent to 2 different midi tracks. first one has the toms muted as they are all grouped to the 1 track. Then on the 2 instance i have everything except the toms muted and the toms sent to separate tracks, so this gives me total control over the toms aswell. Then i bus every track to its own group track, and from there send the group tracks to separate audio tracks. Doing this makes it possible to convert the midi into audio for later mixing. And means i have total control over every part of the drums.
At present i have ezdrummer set to dry and no panning. What i would like to know is, should i be using ezdrummer panning or pan the tracks separate later in the mixing stage and should i use ezys processing or process the drums myself in mixing?
