How to Split Up Software Drums Into Individual Tracks

[@DavidRavenMoon]

There’s also the multi output option in Drummer. Another way to convert Drummer to MIDI without losing the original Drummer performance is to make a new software instrument lane and option drag the Drummer regions to that. It will convert them to MIDI. Then mute the Drummer track.

[@mrufino1]

Nice, I didn’t know dragging the regions to an empty midi track did that, good tip!

[@nstycrv]

what a plugin or program if the track is a stereo mixed audio drumtrack done in a studio (not created in drummer logic) trying to separate kick, snare, hat, ect? Turning it into midi in logic?

[@mrufino1]

@@nstycrv drumSSX, by fuse audio, does a really good job of separating the pieces of the kit, then you can bounce them to separate tracks. You can then do the “replace drum track” function in logic to generate the midi.

Hi Raven, i'm trying to convert my drummer to midi. However, when I try to bounce tracks in place, instead of getting midi regions into individual tracks, I get audio files instead of the separate midi performance. What am I missing?

[@DavidRavenMoon]

@@cloepop111 this is what I do: make a new software instrument (MIDI) track. Move it right under the Drummer track. Now select all the Drummer regions and Option-Drag the Drummer regions to the empty MIDI track. Now you have MIDI data! Now set the instrument to what ever drum set you were using. You can also copy and paste channel settings to the new channel (effects, etc.).

You are a hero for this! Amen, praise God for you. This should be a certificate course

[@flashcardsthebeautifulj5632]

I meant your newbie to ninja series but this added in

[@thegoalistheplan3868]

Honestly, such a great tutorial. Would have never thought this was possible

[@camboslicemusic]

So grateful I found this channel! The presentation, pacing, and concise delivery made it a breeze to apply vs other videos I’ve seen. Subscribed, and will be consuming more of this great content. 🙏🏼

[@vewilli]

Very, very good and very helpful for me as I only use Logic drummer for my productions. I‘ll have to go through this once or twice again on the Mac, as I only watched this video on my iPad. But really a useful video. Thanks a lot! 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻

[@Bittamin]

Fantastic video!! The splitting the DMD part 12:29 is SO HELPFUL ❤

[@Bittamin]

I swear I posted this before getting 12 minutes into the video lol, it seems like you’re going over it right now

[@errogiemusic]

Exactly what I was looking for, at the end, there. Thank you. You are so clear and concise - a marvellous teacher.

[@GarryJones490]

Very useful tutorial, thanks !

[@TheTman56]

Hi, Thanks for this great video! "Separate Pattern Region by Kit Piece" is greyed-out. What do i do about this?

[@ShannonMarie_aguafiestasvlogs]

Great video! Thanks!

[@lawinter1949]

Great video! Don’t forget that you can bounce tracks in place which allows you to convert you individual drum tracks to audio without leaving Logic. This works on any track that has been put in the arrange window.

[@RichGreen-ok9oy]

Wicked tutorial. Thanks Chris.

[@markbelcher1777]

Thanks Chris, do you have a tutorial about doing something similar with drum loops in Audio?

[@rayallaire3274]

OMG...if I could only get the time back. Thank you SO much!

[@1matzeplayer1]

That was super insightful!

[@settyr]

Really good video. Would love to understand more about Room A and B.

[@julianknorzer443]

Thanks for this video!! Question: How can you create a summing stack withing a track stack (4:44)? It doesn't work in my case....

[@davethomasson6571]

Splitting up the drum machine midi to individual tracks doesn't seem to be offered in 10.6.3. I guess it was included in later updates.

[@JuanLopezmusica]

how can you separate them or convert audio in the same session?

[@darwinfoye]

After the drums are split into separate tracks is Room A and Room B considered a L / R scenario meaning that Room A should be panned hard L, and Room B panned hard R? Or is the stereo spread already baked in if the pans remain at "0"? Interesting that the Overheads are a single track, rather than a separate L + R, therefore, I'm presuming that single track is in stereo, and panning remains at "0". And Room A and Room B are also two stereo tracks, respectively.

[@RicardoMartinez-or1wu]

Hi dude I love your vids! I'm trying logic pro and new in it! But I had some problems with the drums... I use cubase but migrate to logic pro because problems with m plugins in cubase but I don't know if logic had this drum sampers of anything like cowbell, toms, kicks, cymbals etc...I made my drums from scratch with this audio samplers and love do it in that way but I can't find anything like that in logic I hope you can help me because I really need a hand in this one...thanks from you friend in Mexico!!

[@lukaszsobczyk334]

Thx, I've been searching for tip this tip

[@bobbysbackingtracks]

Awesome vid BUT that move at 12:29 didnt work in 10.5.1......

[@ravenation4855]

For some reason it’s not letting me right click to convert to midi. Could there be something I’m missing in settings? The waveform thing in the first six minutes worked great!!!

[@guitar.knackshack2210]

Awesome!!!! Thanks Chris...

[@mrsankow]

How do you save a custom Producer kit? after swapping out a snare for example...

[@StefHaynes]

I tried exporting this so many times and no matter what I selected in the export dialogue box, it summed the drum tracks to 1 file, and then I realized that I didn't highlight every track in my session before hitting export. I think this is really dumb... if I went through the trouble to select a "producer kit" then of course I'd want to export those individual elements as individual tracks (with all the other tracks in my session). Going through the extra step of highlighting every track seems like it should be unnecessary. Anyway, thanks for the tutorial!

[@DonnieMarhefka]

at 3:44 you can see all the drums have their own tracks now, BUT where are the cymbals? Can you add a track(s) for cymbals as well?

[@RikFlick]

This was great, thanks.

[@quinthonybrown]

Does this work for the Apple Loops that are loaded in Logic??

[@vitaminfian]

Thank you so much Chris

[@bucurgabriel6319]

Thanks You ! Super good video !🤗❤❤

[@subodhgodbole7266]

THANK YOU

[@joshgatesmusic78]

Hi Chris, I'm a fan of your videos and brand new to logic! Do you have any videos on mastering your songs in logic? I have a really basic understanding of mastering due to my background in Garageband but not sure how it works in logic pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

[@elvee1343]

Warning: the Option-Drag approach to convert a Drummer region to Midi automatically on a destination software instrument track does not apparently work as of 10.8.1. Drummer regions can now be placed on any software track, and that's what I get when I do Option-Drag now from a Drummer region to a software instrument track lane - a duplicate Drummer region.

[@gslide06]

Thanks For the video. If I have a drum sample (snare) via an audio region, how would I replace the snare in a Logic Drummer track?

[@vladimirciboci1485]

Thank you so much, you're the BEST!!!!!!!

[@StillPictureProduction]

Thank you and subbed!

[@chrikibandmusik]

Thank you

[@dxrealish5122]

For some reason my convert option is no enabled on my empty kit anyone know why is that ?

[@pompamood]

thanks bro

[@piscesXdream]

Thanks so much!!!

[@derekatkinson4674]

Effin awesome!

[@piscesXdream]

Thanks!

[@WhyLogicProRules]

No problem! Thanks for the kindness 👊

[@nstycrv]

how can you split a stereo drum mix into separate individual instrument parts/tracks?

[@exploringworld4736]

headache in logic 😁😁😁 use cubase pro - simple - without tension

[@musttiii0]

Ihave a problem with logic how can i ask you ?

[@exploringworld4736]

work in 6/8 time signature or 7/8 , hold playhead with mouse to move from one bar to another bar let see what happens . (( snap button should be in bar not in beat or division )) Drag any sample of 6/8 from loop library try to move it on bar 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@dafingaz]

Genius!

[@CristianArangomusic]

Beautiful

[@JeffyG]

Excellent video, again! The capabilities in Logic far surpass most 3rd party drum machine/sample players/instruments. But the workflow needs more insight. I find converting pattern or midi regions by pitch to separate tracks, kinda the last step. Because it’s tedious to change the pattern 1 kit piece at a time. It’s easier to do in 1 pattern or midi region. And - as far as I know - it’s not easy to re-consolidate separate tracks back into 1 pattern region.

[@eliegregory5972]

anyone else had the problem that they can't find the drummer setting?

[@geetarman513]

Thank you.
