- In this tutorial Jon shows how to set up Addictive Drums to send multiple outputs to REAPER's mixer.
AD2 is the easiest plugin to set up for this that I've tried, but there are still a couple things you'll want to be careful with.
Here's another Addictive Drums tutorial you might like

Hey Jon I just bought the addictive 2 studio collection a couple days ago. Been searching for a video since this one and you finally popped up. This was awesome. Couldn't resist the black Friday sales 1/2 off. Saved a lot of money. so far it working great
Bonus tip - hold cmd/ctrl and select an output option to assign all at once!
On Windows, Ctrl didn't work for me. Alt did. I positioned the mouse over the kick routing icon, held alt, then scrolled the mouse wheel down.
@@mikebubeck2880 On Windows-10 hold the Alt key.
I understand little English and little reaper but you explained so clearly that I understood everything, thank you!
ps: I was doing it manually and lost about 2 hours of work xd
Clear explanation Jon.Well done. Will give it a try.
omg thank you for this. New to any sort of production and this is excellent and thorough!
This is so helpful thanks! I was completely stuck trying to get the separate tracks from ad2 to route correctly.
A matter of seconds into the video and soooo much work is eliminated by hat automated routing breakout. Thanks 👍🏼.
Something I noticed with AD and Reaper's routing is that all the routed tracks get centered. You basically get a mono drumkit sound, except for the overhead and room tracks which are stereo tracks. So you have to manually pan the toms and hi-hat in the Reaper mixer according to the panning from AD's built-in mixer.
Has anyone found away around this?
AD2 was the first drum VI I used and seems I'll be using it forever. Such a sweet tool, moreover if you couple it with Addictive Trigger!
I've always struggled to print the FX, and finally chose to always work with the dry sounds and add the FX myself, so I didn't even consider getting it through the Master track. Nice tip!
This helped a ton. Thanks for the clear video.
Thanks so much! This video was super helpful.
Super helpful! Following your channel and have become a fan!
Very helpful, thank you!
Great explanation...thank you so much.
Fantastic video! Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you !
So useful, thank you.
Thanks Jon!
Thanks Reaper!!!!!!!!!
I am very appreciate, thank u!
Thank you so much! 0:24
AWZUM! Thanks bruh!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for your tutorial. It was very helpful. BTW, could you say, which theme do you have? It seems to be pretty useful.
Great!
Nice one, Jon, thanks. Have you been using AD2 in any of your projects? Favorite kits?
not a lot really, I just haven't been writing music much and I have a lot of other options that also sound really great. (SSD4, RoomSound kontakt kits, EZDrummer2)
I have Reel Machines, Black Velvet, Fairfax v1 and v2. Getting Boutique Mallets next and 1 other I haven't decided on. I don't like any of the metal packs.
hey jon.... could you do another simple routing for ssd 4 as well?
Great content and this is the video I was looking for. I'm struggling with how to record only the high hat track. If I disarm the top AD2 track, I don't hear anything when trying to record on the armed "sub-tracks". If I re-arm the top AD2 track, I hear the input, but it only records on the top, main AD2 track. Can you suggest what I might be missing?
This is exactly what's happening to me. It's been 3 years, did you find a solution or did you move on to other DAWs?
I didn't get the prompt at the beginning to automatically create the routings. How do I get that? Doing all the routing manually is a pain! Otherwise this was a super helpful tutorial! Thanks~!
using the action 'insert virtual instrument on new track' will bring up that option.
Jon, thanks for this video. I've been wondering how to do this. I used Cakewalk until they got bought by Bandlab or whoever. This was automatic with Cakewalk. Anyway, I do have a problem that I hope you can address. My snare track is not the snare drum. I'm guessing it's conga drum, which isn't even in the kit I loaded (Studio Pop). How do I fix this so that the snare drum maps to the snare channel?
Take your LIKE good man!
For a reason I can't choose post fader option,it appears only master option, is there a solution about it?Thank you
thank you for the video! Is it possibile to directly record on each track the single parts of the drum? Not freezing as you shown on the other video, but pressing the "record" button and looking the wav file being recorded ...
I tried to do it but nothing happens...
I mean, I saw that in each individual track I can change the sound inserting my vsts but there's no way to manage the .wav file itself...
sometimes I could need a fade in for a snare o something like that...for example :)
each of the tracks would need their record mode set to Output. Then you can record, and disable the virtual instrument after.
@@TheREAPERBlog yeeee thank you! :D
Thanks a lot for this Tutorial was busting my ass since last 20 hours on how to do it
Some of the individual drums are distorting because they are clipping. If I hit the record button to loom at the levels, you won't see them. Shouldn't you be able to see the levels so that you can adjust them for each individual drum? I am bypassing the effects, by the way.
On the 1st Stephen, when I open AD2 it doesn't ask me if I want to use multiple outs for routing it just has one track with ad2 in it.. why wont it ask me if I want to route everything like yours? I'm on a MacBook pro 2015
What if you want to have each track create a wav file? Barely any video I have seen goes to that next, very important step. Looks like I'll have to upload that video myself.
got you bro

How did you creat the last 'track' which you renamed Drums?
Nice! However, a potentially stupid question: the levels of the individual parts of the drum kit are way too hot "by default". What would be your suggestion of the simplest and most elegant way to rectify this in Reaper? Adjusting the faders in the AD VSTi itself, or tweaking the trim (perhaps Volume pre-FX) on the individual tracks in Reaper? The point being not messing up the balance between the individual parts of the drum kit. Cheers!
I came up with a few solutions in this video ruclips.net/video/1mCqVlpIOHk/видео.html
Thanks, Mr Tidey! Had forgotten about that video and the fact I'd already installed the scripts too :P
I keep having the same problem when routing AD2 drums. The level of the routed tracks is INSANELY loud compared to the VI, even if routed post-fader.
um, did you miss this one?

Hi. I can't record my drums, I have donde all what yoy said in the video. I can listen drums but no record
Hola, asumo que hablas español. Quizás no estas seleccionando la opción para grabar correcta. Tienes que apretar en armar pista (el botón rojo) en donde tienes puesta el FX o el Plugin de ADC2, la cual está adentro de la carpeta que creaste para hacer el bus, ya que en esa pista se graba o escribes el MIDI, y ese MIDI saldrá por la carpeta que creaste (la que contiene todas las demás pistas y que controlas el volumen general).
Sé que llego tarde, pero quizás a alguien más le sirva.
Is it possible to cymbals on their own tracks?
Cymbals in AD2 IIRC only go through the overheads, there's no single track for each cymbal (Hats do have their own mic, others don't )
sir grat vid! however, how can i lower the volume? thanks!
solved it with some custom scripts and plugins
ruclips.net/video/1mCqVlpIOHk/видео.html
For some reason when I opened ad2 I did not get the routing box from reaper how do I get that to open
you have to use the "Insert virtual instrument on new track..." action
Omg I have been working on this for awhile , Thank you !!!
What about the cymbals? How do I get them in there
Cymbals are only controlled by the Overhead channel, but that channel also involves whatever the microphones on the Overhead track can perceive.
But you can control the sound of the cymbals INDIVIDUALLY by their velocity in the midi map, or in the Edit section, and modify the OH level knob.
Why don't we have channel for ride and crash? Think i'm missing something
cymbals are processed on overhead track.
@@TheREAPERBlog Tnks! Got it now. But why AD2 has a solo mode for cymbals then? That confused me.
The window doesn't pop up for me. 0:37
heroe
You said “As long as you don’t make this track (Addictive Drums track 2) part of the folder…” but it is part of the folder. The track is indented. So i don’t understand.
i just watched it again and it is correct. I added another track called Drums to be the folder. the track with AD2 can't be the folder, but it can be inside the folder or outside of it.
@@TheREAPERBlog Thank you sooo much!
But where IS the actual RECORDING example??? Show how are they recorded into WAW!!!
I always keep it as MIDI.
You could
A - set each track to record output mode, record as separate audio files (in realtime)
B - Freeze the instrument track as multichannel (faster than realtime)
C - select the tracks and render selected in render window (faster than realtime)
@@TheREAPERBlog
Everything is set up the way you did it. But when i click record on any of the drum tracks they pick up every drum basically like the master track does. As soon as i click off the record button it goes back to picking up the drum its assigned to.?? All the tracks are doing the same thing.
The weak point in Addictive drums 2 is that you can't multiout/multichannel a stock preset and keep it's origin form - compression on the master bus, etc. And If you try, you either end up with a doubled tracks, which is pretty annoying and LOUD, or you have to ditch the master bus and then you lose all the processing and so you lose the original preset. That's just stupid!
not just addictive drums. every virtual drum plugin is like this
Nope. Try Ezdrummer 2 and you'll change your mind ;)
I appreciate your vid, but using words like "this" and "that" (like around 2:45 to 3:15) is very, very frustrating. If you are asking "does that make sense?" that probably means you realize it's not clear.
Sorry, too damned confusing.
I followed this video, and when I try to record I’m not hearing anything in my headphones, but if I hit the drums it does record to a track, please help
Click the little routing box and check Master Send Channels and see if it works
