I created a VST rack and separate midi tracks from this so I could use one drum kit VST and change all the drum sounds at the same time.
The problem is I can’t add the effects to the individual midi tracks (e.g. can’t eq just the kick).
Is there a way I can add effects to each part of the drum kit without creating a separate VST drum kit for each part?
There are many ways of doing this.
What I do, no matter what drum vst I use, is I get the overall sound on the drum vst sounding as good as I can without any eq, compression or any effects at all, just the best sound that comes from the vst.
Then bounce every mic into it’s own wav track, individually solo and go one by one, solo tracks for the individual mics and a stereo track for the room mics L & R.
There you have it, perfectly tracked drums into wav tracks for you to eq, compress and add any effect you want, then mix it as you please like a pro would.
This saves a hell of a lot of memory, even though I don’t need to save the memory with 128gig, but it still gives you room to assign that memory and power to other midi tracks and add effects onto those so everything still runs smooth.
