MT PowerDrumKit2 VSTi Multi-Channel with Cakewalk by Bandlab

[@RyanClossMusic]

I got myself an Akai MPK mini mk3 to use with Cakewalk, and honestly nothing works - on the verge of throwing it out the window. I just got your plug-in, and it is amazing, the download specifications and clarity are on point. I got the wrong one at first, but redownloaded the new one. (32-bit v. 64-bit). Brilliant. Its money well spent and I'm happy

[@xavieralbenygtr553]

I looooooove the tutorial. Most of videos starts telling bla bla bla. My grandma made cookies and my neighbor bla blah blah. This one: straight to the point, and well explained thanks a lot!!!!!! Im not sure if you have any other video explaining how to process this vst. And how to add compressor properly.

[@slashingbison2503]

Man that was like the only video I could find to explain how this works! Thank you!

[@rottennoisemachine]

Excellent video!!! thanks a million!

[@stephentyndall159]

Yay, I wondered how to do this! I still can't believe this is a free plugin, it's awesome. I'm gonna donate. Thanks for the video.

[@RecordingStudio9]

Most welcome. I'm sure the developers will appreciate it. I have also donated myself. I't's a good feeling.

[@samjburns07]

for the plugin i think that they should add some other drum kits for different genres of music, still its an amazing plugin

[@strike_420x]

What about the fact that cakewalk is a free daw that is unrestricted and amazing!

[@strike_420x]

@@samjburns07 The stock plug in SI drums has multiple kits for all genres. I'm sure you can probably route the kits the same way as he did here. If that helps you.

[@MegaAedu]

Thanks for showing this easy way to do it. I was routing that whole thing too complicated.

[@RecordingStudio9]

Glad I could simplify it for you.

[@andrewrobinson2040]

Brilliant, you did a better job of explaining how to create drum tracks than any other cakewalk content on YT. thanks heaps.

As a beginner, just showing where to move the downloaded files for use in Cbb is a big help.

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

I can get any sound out my Alesis Surge edrums but this has been so helpful. The only video that actually helped and I was able to hear my drums before and guess I messed with too many settings.. I can see them but dint know where to assign them so they will register. No movement in eq or no sound

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

It’s amazing that one guy who’s videos kept showing up yet telling us nothing needs to watch this guy to show how you properly explain how to.

Great but shouldn’t we create mono tracks for drum components instead of stereo so we can pan accordingly? Is stereo a better option?

[@globetrotterdk]

Thanks for your videos. They are very informative for someone like myself, that is completely new to DAWs. Could you please do a video about setting up control devices in Cakewalk by Bandlab? I am trying to setup an Akai MidiMix and not having much luck. Covering issues such as when to import ACT data and how to use it for a controller would be very useful.

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

Brilliant video, many thanks.

[@Laptops1781]

I'm using ezdrummer 2 in cakewalk. For whatever reason when I multi track ezd, it doesn't let me solo each individual drum. I can hear the midi track, but then if I want to solo the snare let's say, I get no sound out of the snare channel. I can only get sound from the midi track itself. All the outputs are set correctly and the levels are showing for each individual drum in the cakewalk mixer. I'm confused

[@RecordingStudio9]

Make sure you also solo the midi track so the midi notes are played, with the split audio output.

[@Laptops1781]

@@RecordingStudio9 ok, thanks.

[@Laptops1781]

@@RecordingStudio9 found another (easier) work around for this. Rather than soloing the midi track also, press shift and click solo and that will enable "solo safe" mode and allows you to listen to each individual midi drum WITHOUT soloing the midi track also. Much easier to listen to the music and just the snare (or any other drum) than the other way

[@alfredcasabella-arciaga7097]

Thank you so much... I learned a lot from this..

[@NKM_Pixels]

I'm currently use tracktion waveform, but i have a problem with it. My edrum doesn't response well when i hit more than one thing. Hope cakewalk will be be good. ☺️

[@Steveh112]

I'm totally lost at 7:35 and can't figure out how to add the midi track. My layout looks different than yours and I have 2 + signs under "View" and nothing under track. I tried clicking on them and can't see any option to add a midi track. I have a single plus sign and a double one which is for adding a duplicate track. I click on the single one and I get the thing to pop up that says Add Track with Audio and Instrument on top. But what I can't figure out is how did you get to that drop down menu with "Views" on top where you clicked on Insert Midi Track. The video jumps from the popup to that menu and I can't see how you got to it. I guess this crap is just to complicated for me. I've been trying to figure out basic stuff on a few DAW's like this one and I just don't get it. I have an engineering degree in electronics and also do some computer programming but using these DAW things just does not make any sense to me.

Very useful video for us beginners, thank you for making it. I'm trying to use the midi notes from MT Drum kit 2 in the TTS-1 synth, it sounds a bit better for drums, just my opinion based on not much experience, lol. Awesome videos, I hope you have some for 2019 too.

I used do studio recording full time (old school) before doing photography for a living and I am glad to see you can isolate the drum components to different tracks to that you can have more control.

[@MartinHernandezcancer22]

question, how can I add drums to a track with multi changes in speed? from slow beat to fast tempos

This depends on your DAW tempo option. Most DAW have a tempo change track you can set the BPM/speed.

[@georgemateos]

whao! so cool vatche! Great Job!

[@Hushsoundz]

Awesome content! thank you. the question i have , is it able to use my own drums sounds like ones from purchased drum kits? id like to use the grooves but with my own sounds.

[@RecordingStudio9]

I don't believe so.

[@zendakk]

MT PowerDrumKit itself can't do that but you can output the grooves as MIDI data, as shown in this video, and then send that to another virtual instrument -- either another drumkit or a sampler with your individual drum sounds. You most likely just need to adjust the note/sample mappings, so that for example your own kick drum is a B2 note if PowerDrumKit's MIDI uses B2 for its kick drum, etc.

[@georgemateos]

hi vacthe, can i turn a drum loop into each separate tracks for quing using impact xt like you did in this video? or is there a way around for it? thanks

[@RecordingStudio9]

I have not had the chance to look into the new ImpactXT yet.

[@kottenmouthk1ngs]

Hi thank you for the tutorial. I just installed Cakewalk by Bandlab and also downloaded the MT Power Drum Kit. I copied the .dll and .pdk files into Program Files/Cakewalk/Vstplugins, however when i open up Cakewalk and go into Cakewalk Plugin Manager it isn't in the list of installed plugins. Also install Virtual Instrumetns > Drums I only see SI-Drum Kit. I did everything step by step. Any reason why it wouldn't appear in Cakewalk plugins?
