I didn't think you'd be switching over Greg, but if you wanna add/remove hits/etc, it's a lot easier if you have the drum maps. In Reaper, double click the midi file, & when the editor comes up, all the names of the different articulations/hits will be there on the left side of the screen/editor...
There's usually no way a pre-made beat ever fits/works for a song, so it'd be pretty simple just to edit the midi a little to make it fit whatever you're working on.........
Since I'm not a drummer, don't have access to a drummer or kit, it's really the only way for me to have drums in my stuff, so like the difference in the speakers/cabs, to each his own....
Here's a link to download a bunch of 'em, should be more than enough for you, when you unzip 'em, put 'em in a folder (IE: I put mine in "My Documents", in a folder called "Drum Maps") & when you double click the midi, Reaper will ask where the map(s) are, & will remember where there at automatically....
REAPER Note Maps for Toontrack drum libraries
Just tryin' to help man......
And Jimmy's right, much better click track than using the metronome in Reaper....
It lays out the drums in your 'piano roll' editor. Or whatever Reaper calls it...
Naming each drum, so you know what the hell you are creating. It get's pretty anal once you get into perfecting a drum track. Pretty sure you are about to hate this whole fake drum thing in short order. lol!
Lol. I already do. Totally hate it. I "created" a drum track today for a Social Distortion cover. Simple song, mid tempo, basic shit.....took like 2 fucking hours. I could have tracked it for real in 5 minutes and gotten way better results.
Here's a screenshot of the midi editor in Reaper, using the first EZ Pop/Rock groove/beat I came to. I outlined the hits/articulations on the left so you'd see what I'm talking about......Without loading a drum map, the names will be blank, making you guess what hits are where. Lots of ways to edit/move/change each hit, IE: kick is usually midi note 36, you could change all those to 38 (snare) if you wanted......
To use the maps, double click the midi file in the timeline (which opens the midi editor), then click "File", "Customize Note Names", "Load Note Names From File", & select whichever map you wanna use (I always just use the default maps from the link I posted, there are different maps though, just depends on how you wanna do it.....)......
And yeah, it sucks editing a vsti drum track like this, but some of us have no other option dude. Consider yourself really fortunate to be able to play & record drums like you do at home (which you do very, very well btw.....)...
