    Hi , great video 👏🏻i have a question ,
    When I program drums with a keyboard I usually play a basic beat , Kick , Snare & Hi-hat. Then I play (on keyboard too) my open hihats , ghost notes & drum rolls, cymbals etc on a separate midi track, quantize later & bounce both tracks together into a wav, Is there a way to record the extra midi rolls etc all on the same track without wiping my basic beat ?
    Also what does the quantize swing button do ? Thanks

    • @HighRoadMusicTutorials
      @HighRoadMusicTutorials  Год назад +1

      I think the way you’re already doing it is the ideal way. But if you do want to add MIDI over the top of your existing track without wiping what’s already there (Non-destructive recording), you need to choose “Merge MIDI” mode on the transport.

      Yes, I explain it in this video and you can find a legend in the description. It's called GM (General Midi) drum mapping. ruclips.net/video/5b4na4rdFbY/видео.html

      @HighRoadMusicTutorials  10 месяцев назад

      Believe it or not I have the same issue on one of my computers! I haven't gotten round to fixing it yet but from a quick search it appears that it may be a compatibility issue with PT12 installers and Windows. All I could advise is downloading and reinstalling the Xpand!2 software again. This forum suggested a fix which didn't work for me, but may be worth a try.
