Hey there. New guy here And fairly new to doing drum stuff in Pro Tools. I am using Drumkit from Hell and using the loops from DfH. Is there any way to add, let's say cymbals, to a loop to spice up the loop? Because when I try to record something on a loop using the keybaord it does record the new stuff I do, but at the same time the loop itself is deleted where I record. I know I can probably just create another track for the cymbals, but isn't there a way to add stuff (without adding by clicking with your mouse) to the existing loop in the same track?
Secondly....although I'm sure there is a way to record over a midi track....it is over my head. It is WAY easier to just set up another Midi track to overlay drum tracks...or leads...etc...
Currently I am using the M-Audio Keystation 49....Anytime that I have tried to record over a Midi track...the track has deleted itself. I only did this two or three times...then I just started recording extra tracks.
Also....by recording extra tracks....you are then able to tweak your cymbals...or whatever "seperatly"....thus allowing a better mix.
