I'd like to add some reverb to a midi drum track made with Virtual Drummer. The problem is that when i add the reverb in Sound Sculptor to the track (which is by then converted to aiff) , the sound becomes messy, it adds a weird echo to the drums , specially the hit hat.
Any suggestions? -------------------- woosh!

Hey Picazzzo, I tryed to duplicate what your talking about. I had pretty much same thing happen, both in real time and afterwards. So, I'm going to assume thats how drums sound when reverb is added. I did get it not to sound to bad, but there was hardly any effect left. BTW, why would you want to add reverb to a drum track? When ever I want to add a 'room' type of effect, I use a hall or room effect. However, I have to do this by using an external digital effect processor.

Thanks!
So, is there any way to give midi drum tracks a *fuller* sound, that is not using reverb. Any tips? -------------------- woosh!

Hi. Well like i said before, sometimes I like to use an external digital effects processor. But that's a long drawn out process. However one thing I like to do with virtual Drummer is use 2 or more drums at the same time. What I mean by that is, for instance, when i want a hard hitting bass drum i use 2 different sounding bass drums at the same time, and crank them all the way up in the mixer. So maybe you could try something simmilar. Like use a drum that hits hard, and at the same time use a tom or bongo that has good caryover. It may take some experimintation and mixing, but you may be able to hit your mark in that way. Also I wonder what drums would sound like with a heavy flange put to it? Hmmm, I think I'll give that a try!!!!! Any way, let me know how that things turn out.
