Recording Software Instrument drum parts
Some Software Instruments, especially drum instruments, give you many different sounds to play and record. Each note on the keyboard may play the sound of a different instrument. In general, low notes will play lower sounds like bass drums and tom-toms, and high notes will play higher sounds like snare drums and cymbals.
Before you record a Software Instrument drum part, you may want to play all the notes of the instrument to see what sound each note plays. If you want, you can make a chart or diagram that shows which notes you want to use in your drum parts.
Drum parts usually consist of several different instruments, such as a bass drum, snare drum, and cymbal, all playing together. You can record each part in a separate track to make editing the individual parts easier. This also lets you control the volume and pan position of each part individually.
