Save your work (Project) to preset in BFD3 and in Reaper. I name mine
"BFD3ALL" That is so you can recall these settings to use over again. So when
you hit the "Record" it will record all your kit pieces to their own tracks in
a single pass. Ya Baby.

mono 1=17 (BFD3m01)

Recording snare and kick bleeds to their own channels. This process is as
follows, you can use the above setup no problem for the kick and snare bleeds.
----------------------------------------------------------.
Snare Bleeds work around.
Step: 1 Click on the Snare in Faders in BFD 3, on the right hand side under
"Tech" section then the section "Bleeds" turn "on" bleeds.
Step: 2 In Reaper only arm "Red" button, the "snare and kick drum". Disarm all
other tracks.
Step: 3 In your groove editor "mute" the kick drum. This can be done on the
right hand side of the groove editor. Make sure the kick drum is muted for all
parts, fills included.
Step 4: Select "Track" from the top menu and "Insert new track", Disarm it.
Step 5: Record the snare and kick and you'll notice that even though the kick
is muted in the editor your getting audio on the kick drum track. This is the
snare bleed. Once the groove has finished recording go to step 6
Step 6: Take the track from the kick drum just recorded and move it to the new
track you just made in step 4. From the mixer window name the new track by
double clicking on the open space above it and call it "SN Bleed" You now have
snare bleed by itself.
Step 7: Go back into the groove editor and un mute all the kick drums.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kick Bleeds work around.
Step: 1 Click on the Kick in Faders in BFD 3, on the right hand side under
"Tech" section then the section "Bleeds" turn "on" bleeds.
Step: 2 In Reaper only arm "Red" button, the "snare and kick drum". Disarm all
other tracks.
Step: 3 In your groove editor "mute" the Snare drum. This can be done on the
right hand side of the groove editor. Make sure the snare drum is muted for
all parts, fills included.
Step 4: Select "Track" from the top menu and "Insert new track", Disarm it.
Step 5: Record the snare and kick and you'll notice that even though the snare
is muted in the editor your getting audio on the snare track. This is the kick
bleed. Once the groove has finished recording go to step 6
Step 6: Take the track from the snare drum just recorded and move it to the
new track you just made in step 4. From the mixer window name the new track by
double clicking on the open space above it and call it "K Bleed" You now have
kick bleed by itself.
Step 7: Go back into the groove editor and un mute all the snare drums.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In conclusion, BFD3 has support for additional faders 3 for the kick and 3 for
the snare (Expand the little arrow in the center of the fader screen) in some
cases and even more for extra kit pieces. It won't matter how many kits pieces
there are as long as you assign an AUX channel to each one of them and then
send them to a stereo or mono send within BFD3. Remember setup AUX channels
first other wise you won't see them later in the process. I'll be doing a
video in a while showing how to do this whole process but for now the written
version is here for all Reaper fans to dig into. I'm glad that I can
contribute to this great community as this community has supported me in the
past. Happy tracking.
