Hello (Producing) Person,

Nik makes D&B drums combining Superior Drummer with synthetic layers, using a template in Bitwig. This in-depth video demonstrates a workflow with lots of options for control and sound design.

Enjoy!

PatchMePlease

Very much so good !!!!!! Thx nick

David May

You probably figured this out ages ago, Nik, but you can solve your fiddly solo issue by nesting your kick and layer in a folder, rather than having a separate combo track. That's how I have it set up in Reaper.

Ian Baggett

Yo Nik, have you considered using a replacer instead of trying to midi trigger? It takes audio and converts it to a midi signal where you can place vsts like an instrument rack

Mike W.

Thanks Nik, allows a lot of control over the groove passing midi data around to envelopes.. made me think things over quite a bit about how to get a similar template going on in with all the velocity data handling within FL and my old ass version of Slate drums, but i'm about there. You're an awesome teacher.

I can't thank u enough for this. I allways thought i just sucked at writing drum patterns. Turns out with this workflow, when i can write everything in one single midi clip and use the different velocities and hits, its incredibly fun! I've rebuild the template, but i haven't even gotten to do any processing, cuz ive been stuck playing around with making patterns for hours now. I always underestimate the influence workflow has over creativity...

You can audio sidechain the SD3 kick into a Grid device that is generating a sine kick. You can disturb the attack of the sine kick by sending the sidechain audio to the sine kick phase. With an envelope on the SD3 kick you can control it's attack length. This gives 100% phase coherence. If you want to "side by side" the two sounds use a mixer in the Grid and salt to taste.

What a fantastic masterclass! :) Thank you Nik.

Kevin

Awesome, thanks! Would still love a tutorial on what you are looking for when mixing down on your spectrum analyzers, levels, sidechaining amounts on items like hats, synths, etc.

Tom

Score!

Moe NoTone

As always very inspiring

KJ Sawka

So good! Love the LFO tool process on each drum!

Jayde K

Would love to see a breakdown of the drums on Wallhack from the Armajet OST - I could listen to you speak about drums for hours!

Andrew Ridley

interesting about the more kicks making the beat sound boxy. an issue i've had and could never really get over just yet

Fred Moylett

that plugin scaling issue is hilarious.

lookc

@0:30:12 when he says "noisy, uh" lol

Hey Nik, not sure if you read these, but here's a little trick I found with SD3. Under the presets sub menu, you can click "Keep output routing on preset change", and then change between SDX's and it will keep all your mixer routing! Thanks for these amazing tutorials btw!

How can I do this kind of midi splitter in ableton?

I figured it out last night. You can get a Max for Live device called ai.notes.gate that lets you filter out midi notes, so place that at the start of your MIDI tracks that you want to run your Kick2 or Operator or whatever E-kick you want, and filter out C1 for kick for example. Route the midi from your SD3 track into those tracks to get them to trigger the e-kick instrument separately. Then for LFO tool, you just need to make some blank midi tracks (with the same Max tool on them) that route the incoming MIDI from SD3 into each LFO tool track. There's probably a better way to do this but this is what I got working! Cheers.

you can also use the built in pitch midi effect. use the lowest note to select the note you want and set the range to 0, or above if there is a cluster you want to use

I just found the way -> using external instrument

Theoenthea

may I ask what you are looking at in the bottom right? Is that an oscilloscope as well? or just metering? and whats the purposes you're using it for?

Michael King

Would love to know how to make that template Nik has there? Just started trying out bitwig so all the audio receivers etc are new to me and can't quite get it to do what it's supposed to do in that template.

Luke Perry

i cannot for the life of me figure out how to route the superior drummer kick midi out into kick 2 in pro tools it seems it might not be possible in pro tools

Trentcast

This is amazing! Thanks to this tutorial I figured out how to route Addictive Drums 2 to individual channels in Ableton, and I had no idea "No Alts" was an option that would essentially retrigger the drum hits. You single handedly upped my breaks game 100%. I appreciate the knowledge you guys share so much, I really can't say I would have ever learned as much as I have in the last two years without being subscribed to your patreon. Hoping to get my stuff up to par soon enough to start sending real demos!

BERRIX

cant wait for the next video 🔥 anyother track breakdown maybe?

Johann

Nik, I think you once mentioned that all the drums on the drop to dead limit are all serum, would love to see you break em down

found a much better way Note filter to rote receiver, using the mini monitor to find the notes!
