Honest.Cakewalk has announced an upgrade for Sonar Producer and Sonar Studio. I guess I should have tried it one more time before I posted. I just tried to make an instrument track with a 'drum mapped' midi track and it actually worked. (Admission, I am a drummer).Įdit: I stand correct on my point 2 above. Having the drum map is still worth it to me. I'd love to see that fixed some day but I've learned to live with it and it's not exactly a big problem. It was always that way in SONAR and still is in Cakewalk. Once you assign a midi track to a drum map you can't make a single drum "instrument track" linked with the drum audio track. (I can't imagine how it would work anyway). You can't edit 'drum map' midi and other midi in the same window. There's two disadvantages of using drum amps, though: I find that having the real name of the instrument at the left is extremely helpful. Typically, the kick at the very bottom, snare and hat above that, then toms 1 thru 4 (both rim-shot and open versions), then cymbals & other percussion. Generally what I do is use the mouse to pull all the things I want to use in a particular song down to the bottom of the map.
Myself, I use Addictive Drums 2 and make my own maps using the standard AD2 map as a starting point. Knowing that your recorded midi is always going to look the same, regardless of where you are going to port those notes.īlades' post above nicely lists all that is good about drum maps. Being able to split the midi notes out to different parts on different instruments - like snare to Addictive drums and other kit pieces to hardware, like Vdrums.Ħ. Being able to easily see the relationships between sections of a song, similar to #1 above.ĥ. Being able to put the mapped notes in any order for simplicity of viewing rather than based on the order they appear in the note listĤ. NOT seeing a bunch of blank space where there doesn't need to be any (notes that have no data recorded to them don't need to be shown)ģ.
Seeing your kit parts grouped together (snares, cymbals, etc)Ģ.
I did a video years ago that is still on my personal website to show what they are good for and why to use them. Always use them here, both in Cakewalk/Sonar and now in Studio One since they added the feature in v4 (was in v3 but weak compared to Cakewalk).
