10:20 No, reaper is king like always :D just drag from the routing box with ctrl+alt to the bus (with all tracks selected you wanted routed there). It will send them all there and take out the master at the same time. Takes one click, not two ;)
Thanks man. I've been sitting through a lot of tutorial videos lately. This was to the point, but casual (didn't sound like an annoying, overeager TH-camr begging for viewers' attention), and therefore easy to sit through.
@@jason_baker_mixing It is identical for EZDrummer. I actually use both. I prefer to work with the grid editor in ez drummer, but then output the midi into SD3 once I finish editing my midi note (EZD3 doesn't have a ton of room mics, bleed options, and many other details that I like to nitpick). I actually don't even need to add new channels when I switch to SD3. I just replace the plugin, and everything is all set once I change the output channels inside of SD3.
Dude, make a track template. Until you experience it for yourself, it is unbelievable how much time it saves to make lots of track templates for everything in Reaper. And I actually prefer track templates over project templates. WIth track templates, you can just insert stuff as you need it and you don't have a really crowded mixer right from the beginning.
@@p3tari that’s a good idea. I actually don’t think I knew you could make track templates. I was having the problem of having to add or delete tracks for each project. Even tho the project template was a good start. Thanks I appreciate it.
@@Bassclefderreck haha no problem! As much as I love Reaper, it is ridiculous how many little features are hidden away somewhere. Sure... it's all in the guide. But I am not going to sit around and read through that entire beast haha.
This was very helpful! Thanks for explaining “summing”. I am very new to recording in 2022, it’s been awhile. I’ll begin my journey soon with reaper, etc. was thinking of using superior drummer. Still trying to figure out in my head how people get the drums to go along with certain riffs but I guess it’s all about manual editing. I get you can use standard beats but.. adding double bass, specific drum rolls, etc. blows my mind right now! Very scary being a noob in this world
That’s awesome to hear! Anything in particular that you’d like to see a video walkthrough of done in REAPER? I’m always down to take suggestions for future content. 🙂
@@jason_baker_mixing would you happen to have a tutorial on the basics of reaper? Maybe like in the form of organizing things, like adding and separating different instruments and adding color coding to it
@@jason_baker_mixing and maybe in the same video show some easy keyboard and mouse tips to select certain tracks, drag and select them to be able to edit or loop that certain measure to be able to edit it easier? Hopefully im explaining right haha
New to both superior drummer 3 and reaper. I use superior drummer with My EDrums. I have been following your video but when I got to the part were you added a groove to play to listen to it I do not get any sound?
aww man haha don't make busses like that. There's a few different ways to do it in one or two clicks. I add a new track to the left of the drum kit channels, then I make the new track a folder. Folders=busses in reaper. Also, thank you for making this video. I basically have the same process as I go through this. Reason I watched the video is I was wondering if you would mention anything about the mono channels in SD3. For exmaple, in the death kit, one of the channels in the SD3 mixer is ambience mono. Not only is it called "mono", you can also see that the SD3 mixer only has one slider for panning, since there is only one signal for us to pan. It seems like it is only possible to ouput this as a stereo track. before the channels leave SD3 to go into the DAW, it looks like everything gets routed through stereo output channels in SD3. This includes the mono channels. Is there a way to output from SD3 to a mono channel? or... does this not even matter? Lastly, does this especiuially not matter in Reaper (since it doesn't differentiate between stereo and mono channels anyways)?
I am Studio One gang all day anymore. I’m pretty unfamiliar with reaper these days. As far as I know, you can only stereo output from Superior and Easy. If you’re printing out a mono signal, you could switch the track mode to mono after everything is printed. I normally don’t worry about it, though. I’ll just leave them as the stereo tracks that get printed out. It’s never been something I’ve worried about.
Thank you for this! This might be a stupid question but I noticed you have a total of 35 mics and I only have 22. Do you have an expansion pack or something?
I’m not 100% sure on that. I haven’t used EZD since the original EZDrummer, so…. It’s been a while. I know that EZD has always had multi output capabilities, so my guess would be that it would be a quite similar process to do this with EZDrummer as well.
Personally, I like EZ3. I think SD3 has an inherit problem. You took too long mixing each piece. I would have forgotten the rest of my original thinking of the complete song. This is what happens when you include too much. SD3 definitely sounds good when your done mixing on through SD3. But what about the rest of the pieces of the song. Bass, guitar, singer, etc. The purpose of the DAW / mixing for the final mix. It's like your jumping a step. Depending on your style, the drums rides side-by-side with other instruments to hold everything together. Again, that's in the final mixing. Perfect for stage, standalone situation. Realistic drum sound. But I see extra mixing in the DAW later regardless routing. But good stuff. 👍
I’m unsure what you mean by “too long mixing this”. This is 12 minutes from start to finish, about routing the multi outs… to be saved as a template and recalled later. There’s no mixing at all happening here? Haha.
@@jason_baker_mixing the most helpful part for me was that you pressed the “insert virtual instrument” button, because without it, when you just insert the Superior into fx, Reaper does not suggest to add multichannel extra tracks for it You really helped, man!

ctrl+alt didnt worked for me, holding shift did tough...
I've been spending hours to get this right and this is the only clip that explains it properly !
Thanks a million !
You’re very welcome. 🙂
Right?!?!?!?! LOL

Thanks dude! Just started using Reaper and learning routing. Saving this to my notes.
This helps SO MUCH!!! Never knew about unclicking the parent track setting. Thank you 🙏🏻
Great Jason! This is a great overview. I'm going to share it around. More people need to see this!
This helped a lot dude, thank you.
This is one thing I’ve been needing to do in my preset layout in reaper. This method looks the best from what I’ve seen
Hell yeah, dude!! I wasn’t even thinking about the fact that this would probably carry over and work pretty similarly with EZDrummer 2.

@@jason_baker_mixing ill sub for future content! 🤘
Very helpful. thanks man.
Thanks a lot for the advice, bro!
Cool, thanks for this!
you can select multiple tracks then hold shift and drag the routing icon to do 'em all at once :D
Did not know that!! I haven’t used reaper much over the last couple years, that’s a massive time saver.
u rock
Awesome video. Thanks!!!
Cool! Thank you very much! :)

Greetings from Argentina, dps query, build a complete base with the ez drummer, how do I transfer it to the reaper?

That’s a great question. I’m using the Death SDX in this video, so the configuration of the outputs, is a bit different than the core library.
I think it’s hilarious how there’s 4 left kick and 4 right kick tracks. All I need is a few one shots and I’m ready to rock n roll
Riiiiight?!?
You can even blend one shots in right from the plugin. It’s for em built in. The death & Darkness one’s are heat.
It works also with EZD 3?
I’m not 100% sure on that. I haven’t used EZD since the original EZDrummer, so…. It’s been a while. I know that EZD has always had multi output capabilities, so my guess would be that it would be a quite similar process to do this with EZDrummer as well.
@@jason_baker_mixing and how do you rendere in mono or stereo track? Soloing the track and simply render? Or there is another process?
@@VincentVegardSvart you right click on the track, and select render/freeze, then you can print them to either mono or stereo tracks. 🙂

I think it's way faster and easier to put the tracks in a folder. That way you don't need to route all tracks to the drum bus...
