Superior Drummer Panning and Mixing

[Fluffbot]

Hi guys!

So I'm working on my first project using entirely ITB drums (usually all natural) and the stereo outs from superior drummer kinda throw me for a loop when it comes to individual drums; i'm used to a "Rack Tom 1" track being mono! Haha

If I have it panned appropriately in the SD2 multiout interface, say 53 left, then the resulting stereo track is 53 left, but is this able to be altered afterwards or will I have to rebounce the tracks if I want to change panning? What I mean is can I modify the final stereo track in Pro Tools of "Rack Tom 1" from the 100L/100R default to something like 100L/50R without making a mess of things? I hope this makes sense, the more I write the more it seems like a dumb question.

Maybe I'll just have to try and be more decisive on setting the panning from the start

Lets say you want a mono tom track. Set the tom tracks output to s3/4. Pan it all the way left. Make a mono bus or audio track. Set it's input to 3 from superior. Done.

Superioir can only output to stereo groups, so if you just set that and pan it, it makes it one channel. Then set up your mono tracks or busses to accept that one channel (the left or right from the stereo pair) then you can pan those mono busses/ tracks as you please. Super easy.

I don't know if this helps but when you bounce everything from SD the tom tracks will come out mono, and you can then pan them however you want in the DAW. What you can't do is re-pan the toms within the overhead/room tracks after bouncing. So what it makes sense to do if you weren't doing this already is panning the toms how you want inside SD, bouncing, and then doing the same thing with the toms in the DAW so they match the overheads and room.

Thanks man! That makes a lot of sense, don't know why I didn't think of that haha.
