I do agree…Roots is definitely a light hitter’s library. There’s a place for that, but it won’t fit a lot of music.

Add whatever hats in Roots you like to Funkmasters as an xDrum replacing the hihats there.

Choose “steal default” instead of “steal current” under “MIDI”. This will expose the Roots hihat mappings that you want.

Map the Ambient Far or Chamber mic to Plate (whichever you like best) and the AMB Mid to Room. If you mix either of these up, make sure to go in and enable the x version of the hihat because it will be disabled by default as opposed to the rest of the natural kit ambience microphones.

Leave vinyl/drum trash unmapped and don’t use the vinyl channel. There’s no equivalent between the two.

Dig down and mix.

I’m trying to grasp what folk consider an ‘outro’.

Well, for the purposes of a Toontrack MIDI package, I think you can rule out “fade out”. You’ve got that covered.

Seriously though, you could probably release an entire pack of endings and still have room.

An outro for the purposes of coming up with something that isn’t tied to one of the other releases could be a combination of flurishes and accented hits both crescendo and decrescendo on the hits, depending on the style. Not really hard to imagine all that has been done so far on button endings across the board.

Yeah, I just picked up NY 2, C&V, and Metal Foundry SDX’s on that same deal for ~$190, which at $63 apiece is $17 less than their normal discounted price and $87 apiece less than list. Would have cost $450 total at TT.

I wish audiodeluxe would sell the Superior presets. I hate paying much for knob tweaking. On the other hand, I’ve gotten pretty decent at doing it myself.

It’s nice to have a drum map when you’re programming the MIDI with the mouse. It let’s you see the drum names rather than a piano roll.

Other than that, if you’re familiar with programming MIDI already, just get started. If not, spend some time and learn how to program MIDI.

Not really many short cuts available. Just do it. Oh, yeah, cut and paste.

Get some crowd effects and run them from a different track. Crowd noises aren’t triggered by drum samples. Imagine the crowd cheering only when the drummer hit each note. Nice idea for the drummer I guess 😉

I’d settle for some analog saturation emulation and a reverb.
