[Paco572]

CRASH 2
Step 1:Click on the Crash 2. In the "Bleed Section select "OFF" "Note: this
will only apply on the kick and snare."
Step 2: Now look to the right Tech Window and you'll see your Crash 2 and
other information such a Pan, General, Tuning, Bleed, Loudness, and Ambient
Mics
In the "Ambient Mics" section make sure the mics are on and "Link" is off, to
the right are "volume sliders", set your volumes to ones you wrote down at the
start of this "How to"
Step 3: To the right of the volume slides are 3 small boxes beside each mic,
OH, Room, and Amb3, click on the "Jewel" and select from the drop down "AUX 8"
for all 3 boxes.
---------------------------------------------------------

RIDE
Step 1:Click on the Ride. In the "Bleed Section select "OFF" "Note: this will
only apply on the kick and snare."
Step 2: Now look to the right Tech Window and you'll see your Ride and other
information such a Pan, General, Tuning, Bleed, Loudness, and Ambient Mics
In the "Ambient Mics" section make sure the mics are on and "Link" is off, to
the right are "volume sliders", set your volumes to ones you wrote down at the
start of this "How to"
Step 3: To the right of the volume slides are 3 small boxes beside each mic,
OH, Room, and Amb3, click on the "Jewel" and select from the drop down "AUX 9"
for all 3 boxes.
---------------------------------------------------

As you can see this repeats its self. Note: when adding extra aux channels the
same procedure can be followed if you wish to add 3 kick drum faders, (kick
in, kick out, kick) just be sure to give each fader it's own "AUX" channel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creation of tracks in Reaper.
At this point BFD 3 is setup to send individual tracks, we just have to set
Reaper up to receive them. Again I will use a repeating process. Have the FX
Track 1 "BFD3" window open, if not select "FX" on the BFD 3 instrument track
you created to open it. This is important because it's going to provide to you
the location of the AUX channel your going to send to Reaper.
Step 1: On the right of this FX window is an icon (2 in 2/32 out) Click on
this. You'll see two rows of boxes, these are the send locations. The bottom
left hand of this windows has a small box with a "+" symbol, click on it until
you have 32 up and 32 down rows of boxes.
At this point you need to under stand that each black box is a location for a
send. Since were going to be recording "MONO" tracks, if you tilt your head
and read the location address you'll see the first reads "BFD3s01" The "s"
stands for "Stereo". Since we are going to record "Mono" (Each kit piece to
it's own track with OH mics and you can "pan later". There's no sense in
recording in stereo. So now if you look down the list you'll see BFD 3 gives
channels to "1" instance of BDF3 VST in stereo only 8 times but also reserves
a second instance of BFD 3 VST another 8 times for total of 16 stereo sends.
So, 17 rows down are the Mono sends and it reads like this "BFD3m01" The first
16 sends are stereo and the last 16 are mono. It's the mono address's we will
use specifically. Keep the windows with the boxes open, you need this for
reference.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Creating The Track for the Kick Drum
Step 1: Select "Track" and select "Insert a new track.
Step 2: In the bottom right hand corner of the new track select, "Record
output" and from that drop down select (Record: output (mono)

Step 4: Select "Add new receives" and select (1: BFD 3) this opens more
options, just below that you see the word "Audio1/2" Click on it and select
"mono source" and select 17.
Step 5: Now bring up your mixer window, you'll see track #2 without a name,
double click on the empty space above it and type "Kick".
Step 6: Hit the "Red" arming button to Arm the track. The track is now ready
to receive the Kick drum audio from BFD 3 on it's own track.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: If you look at your chart you'll see box 17 is "BFD3m01" Remember when
we set the AUX 1 to mono 1 and then Aux 2 mono 2 ect ect, that's these
channels. So 18 would would be "BFD3m02" mono 2.
