It wouldn't matter. Once the export is done, you've got individual instrument tracks, period. It doesn't matter where they were originally born.
True, if you want every single instrument on its own track. I guess I was thinking that you may also wish to configure subgroups, e.g. cymbals into a stereo pair, toms as another pair, then snare and kick.
Might want to keep the hat separate, too.
Is there a demand for this? If so, would it be sufficient to assign such groupings within the drum kit config? I presume so.
I haven't thought about separating out the elements drum kit much, since get the timing lined up would be heinous for me just now :) But I can certainly see how being able to configure subgroups-for-export in the kit would be useful; I mean, even I have got a track where I keep thinking "I would probably bring up the toms here ...." I would tend to take the approach of composing subgroups as if setting up drum mics -- though I've seen people rabidly advocate wildly different ways of micing drums, from obsessively micing every piece to single mic dangling over or in front of, and everywhere in between. So yeah, it might be just as well to let people decide how to group bits of the kit for themselves! Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
