Kontakt Routing is NOT fun. Here's a better way!

[@JordonBeal]

*The quick way to assign Kontakt outputs:* Open Kontakt Standalone, and make sure your main interface is selected as the device used in the Audio section of Kontakt's Options window. Hit F2 to open the Output pane. Click the "+" to add outputs. Enter the number of stereo outputs you want. In the "Soundcard/Host Output" section, select the first channel of your interface. Check "Delete existing channels" and "make this your default configuration." Hit "OK," then click "Presets/Batch Functions," go to "Save current output selection state as default for.." and select "All formats." This will give you the same number of outputs as your interface, but they will already be routed and set up, which in my case is 18 stereo outs. If you need to add more, then you'll have to do it the tedious way that Glenn showed in the vide.

[@absolutetrash.9123]

I don't even have the ability to access the Output pane. Is this something that is only available with the full Kontakt suite? I only own ELE so I just have Kontakt Player 7.

There should be a drop down option on the main screen of kontakt that is set to stereo, but if you select multi-out advanced, it should auto-route your outputs in kontakt to the output tracks in reaper, so you don't have to manually set them up one by one

I use addictive drums 2 and sometimes I use the multichannel output feature, depends in how much I want to dial in the sound, most of times I use the tools built in the same plugin and just use a stereo track for reaper (not to overload reaper in my case as my pc is not too powerful) and this way for making demos, mutichannel out is more for a final product

I really love the plugin, I just tried to mix a little bit and it sounds amazing. But when I saw that it has to be running with Kontakt, I knew I was gonna have to crack my head if I wanted to pull out the multichannels and make it work as I wanted fit. Honestly, I wish this plugin worked by itself than run it through Kontakt because it tends to give too many problems. I had to find a way to save more RAM because it was consuming to much and my DAW crashed sometimes and it distorts the samples and also slows down some hits. Also for some reason, Kontakt itself deconfigured my output at the point it didn't play my MIDI at all, and I was looking for a solution and many youtubers suffers the same thing with other plugins, but wasn't able to find a permanent solution, until I found a hidden option that I had to enable to be Omni channel for MIDI instead of channel 1 like it assigns it. That's my only thought, that the software should work as a self software with a standalone like EZDrummer or Perfect Drums, instead of running it with a third party software.

set up the routing first if you know what it is going to be then load in the instrument in that order always seems to work better for some reason. Kontakt routing is weird. A trick with kontakt drum libraries that you can do if you can mute parts of the drums on and off separately. Have 2 drum kits loaded in the same kontakt player and mix and match parts of the kits or even layer parts. I have seen this done with 3 kits at once just recently. The zombie drum kit. Or change the CC of each library so you just have like 2 or 3 drums kits at once loaded up on the piano roll.

Hey, kind of a noob question here; I've only recorded guitar tracks for my own personal use, but never a whole ass group/band. Are guitars/bass the only thing you record multiple tracks for, or do other instruments get layers too? It's just a typical metal group; 2 guitars, vocals, bass, drums. No keys or synth or anything of the like. If you need to know, we're usuing a half electronic half acoustic drum kit and my friend's DAW is Mixcraft. (I think that's what it's called, he actually called it Acoustica, and that's the only DAW i can find by them)

The only time I might opt to layer drum parts is if I had 1 part that was smashed in effects and then another part that didn't have effects came in later like on the song guillotine from stray from the path. that drum intro was probably layered as there are 2 separate parts going on especially when they play it live.

MIDI and soundfonts are common In the retro PC gaming community, and many of them use samples that mimic Roland hardware.

Your Kontakt instance seem to have reconfigured it's output channels to 36 only, that's why 37 and 38 were not working. I'm not exactly sure why does this happen with VST3i in REAPER, but it does. I've given up on reaper long ago, so I'm not sure how to fix it, but I can bet it is an easy fix. For example using AUi you can just set your desired outputs count at the top right of plugin host (I/O matrix - openen via the (2/36 out) button) which apparently doesn't work so well with VST3i for some reason.. Also, in the second section of the video when configuring outputs - if you've chosen first kontakt output in "Soundcard / Host output:" dropdown list instead of "-- not connected --", checked "Ascending output assignment" as it is on the video AND checked "Delete existing channels before creating new ones" it would do most of the work for you creating desired count of channels and automatically assigning their outputs so you don't have to click it. st 1 would be routed to 1/2, st2 to 3/4 etc. Cheers!

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that out at some point…. At least I’ve now got a template!

[@Ryan-rn3cf]

You don’t have to do any of this. Clear your tracks, go to insert virtual instrument on new track. Select kontakt or whatever drum VSTi you are using. Reaper will ask you if you want to run this VSTi as an 18 out (I forget the exact message,) select yes and Reaper will automatically create and bus out individual tracks for each element including the drum room sound which you can mute. Unless Kontakt (which I haven’t used in a bit) has changed this, reaper will make this entire template automatically. It works this way with Addictive Drums 2, Superior Drummer, Modo Drum, XO as well. Am I wrong?

Dear Glenn I have been thinking ( i know, i heard my farther say that word and i google it and thought, maybe i can do it too), about all those brand lovers who might defend Gibson or other brand, and think cheap brands are waste of money. Before i bought my first electric guitar, i had a tier list and Gibson was on top, at least when i was younger, as i grew up i cound understand more and then Gibson was not the top dog in the yard. In my teens, Gibson was only one guitar, Les Paul, everytime i heard the name Gibson, it was a LP i had a picture of in my head. Those days are long gone and i know Gibson is more than LPs :-D But the only reason Gibson became popular was because of Slash, at least the Les Pauls did. One thing that could be a fun thing to do, just to shot those brand riders up for a bit, is to test 3 guitars, cheastest, mid range and top tier, and let the viewer try to guess what guitar is what :-D It is like you say in one of your videos, a guitar is only a plank of wood with some electronics on it. But a blind test of 3 names and price points and let the viewer guess the most pricy one, would be a lot of fun to se :-D Let say you take the same type of guitar like LP, from Hearley Benton, PRS (other brand with a price between Hearley and Gibson) and Gibson. I will predict that 85+ % can't tell what is the cheapest or the most pricey on :-D Just an idea if you wanted to do it :-D

[@charlesmayberry2825]

have you tried once you get it set up in kontakt, unfloating the plugin. (right click the top bar and unfloat), select it in the left hand list. hit options on the FX track menu that should have appeared when you unfloated the effect., and then hit "build multichannel routing for output of selected effect" it will end up building all 64 outs, but here's the thing, providing your out routing was correct in Kontakt, it will be right once reaper builds the tracks. Then you can just delete any that you don't need.

[@charlesmayberry2825]

To clarify that way instead of building it then loading the preset, you load the preset, or set it up, and it will build the outputs based on your setup rather than building them and then hoping the routing built right.

I only own mono microphones...?...and do not double mic every drum. Reaper track panning, on it's own, is stereo ( in a couple different ways, if you want), so, please can you whip up a preset that has mono mics for us? Would there be any chance that you port this to BFD? Obviously, Kontact has a good "free" user base, Kontact 6 full is only $200 (always on sale) and this would also be sick to pull up in Maschine, but Chocolate Audio and other sample houses sell "packs" for "different engines" and I hope for a BFD pack in the future. BFD's "ENGINE" is just WAY BETTER than most, and automates the tedious output setup, or just keeps it a stereo sub mix to work with it's built-in mixer, AND has it's own sequencer/groove catalog built in.

That’s in the next episode. I’ll have a free download back with my mix, & MIDI file. Scheduled for the 17th!
