Session Drummer 2

[osiris]

Hello, running Sonar 6 here-
I think I've figured out how to set up routing for sd2, now how do I program my own beats? Is this done in the piano roll view? Can someone please explain or point me towards a tutorial? Thanks.

The help file is in the SD2 folder. Look there for it.

Just do it like you would for any drums. You can do it in the piano roll view but I prefer to do it in the staff view. When you set the clef to "percussion" making your own beats is really fast. Then you can groove clip and loop them.

Thanks punkin! Very helpful link; now I don't have to go to the drummer and say "It goes da-da-da-da-dum!"

Yeah sure...no prob...this may seem painfully obvious but, the Cakewalk Forums are very helpful with stuff like this...worth a browsing; http://forum.cakewalk.com/default.asp

They've got a whole section on video tutorial posted up; http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=925376

Have fun!
