There are many who want to multi-out in Luna right now! For example, why are you still doing MIDI editing in PT?Īnyway, if you post the thread, I'll be happy to try out your procedure and together we can fill in the holes that will hopefully make this process much easier for other people. I think this would probably be a fairly standard approach for many Luna users and am prayerful you could make mixed mono/stereo outs work right.Īlso, with your set up, are you able to compose and record MIDI tracks from BFD in Luna? Are you doing that in Luna or trying to use (probably) horrible Drum Track in BFD? I'd also be interested in knowing what you feel you can and cannot do with multi-outs in Luna using your approach. I am thinking to do some submixing within BFD itself (setting relative levels for toms, cymbals, etc.) before committing the bussed tracks to audio tracks in Luna, where I hope to apply final processing in Luna with UA plugs. Then I have a Toms Bus, a Cymbals Bus and the AmbMix going to Stereo 2, 3 and 4 respectively so I can keep BFD panning. I mapped Kick and Snare busses in BFD to a single mono out each (1 and 2), expecting that to be separate channels in Luna later. I am hoping your process works with my setup also since I only have one Apollo and 8 virtual channels. I went through and remapped my outs in BFD. Can you please fill in the holes in your process so others can duplicate what you did? You talked about experimenting with virtual channels in your first post, and "weird output mapping" in your last post.

Therefore, may I suggest that you start a new thread that BFD, and other multi-out, users could access to figure out how to run multi-out in Luna using your techniques? I know I need more details. I also agree that we've hijacked the Addictive Drums thread, but I also think if you and I are here using Luna and BFD and Komplete Kontrol, then there are certainly others. I am currently trying to get BFD standalone to speak to my virtual channel inputs on Console, and I am not yet using Luna as part of the process.
Personally, I'm doing most of my midi drum editing in PT still, and using AUX busses there as a sort of 'virtual rack \ console' solution. This is a complete 'duck tape' type solution, but it's working for my purposes.Īgain I know this isn't directly related to Addictive Drums.but my point here is if there is a standalone version of the plug and you can multi out that to virtual Apollo channels, you have a chance at getting your multi ins. Output 17 was the first 'Mono' output that actually worked.
That's because even though I'm not using all 8 stereo pairs BFD has as outputs, they're not customizable within BFD and it expects the pairs to be used first. But here's a screenshot if you're interested.
and not sure the relevance on this particular thread. I guess I should say I had to do some weird output mapping as well to get this working, but I think it's more of a BFD thing than Apollo. I'm not even using the Room or Amb channels that BFD has either, but I haven't used those in quite some time so I'm not missing them. And this is with a fairly standard rock kit setup in BFD with only 3 toms, 2 crashes, and a ride. In my case I'm using every virtual channel on an Apollo 8 Quad, and 3 virtual channels on a Twin Mk II Quad. Triggering with my Komplete Kontrol keyboard with this setup seems to work fine.Īs for the 8 virtual channels.yeah, I definitely have to spread across multiple Apollo's for this to work. But I usually tackle drums before everything else, and I haven't gotten to the point of trying to track this way with my e-drum kit triggering BFD yet.
Latency so far isn't an issue as long as I don't have any high latency plugs on my mains like the ATR-102 or too much processing on other buses and channels.
