Stop, and Locate. Press Play - make sure you recorded something. Press
Stop.
Now, we need to set up a knob to perform the fade in/out. Go to:
(2.2-1) [Menu]-[Ctrl]-[Ctrls] -> Knob1-B -> Set to Expression(CC#11)
Go back to the Track Select field (1.1-1c), and set to "Track 02". Press
Locate, and Play. Make sure the Realtime Controls Select Switch has the
"B" LED lit, and as the sequence plays, twist RT Knob 1-B (above the
Joystick) - you are fading in and out the drums. Now change Track Select
to "Track 03" - you are fading in and out the bass, etc. In other words,
this knob will now control the relative volume of whatever track has been
selected in 1-1a "Track Select".
To record these fade-ins and fade-outs, turn off MultiTrack Record.
Enable record only on the track you want to fade (i.e. TRACK 02, Drums).
Here's the important part: If you just record now, you will erase the
drums. We want to add the controller movements to the already
recorded data - we want to "overdub" it. So change the Rec Setup to
"OverDub" (1.1-6a).
Now, when you record, you can twist the knob and fade-in/fade-out the
drums, and this additional controller information will be recorded on top
of the selected track. Didn't like the particular performance of the knob
twisting? If you press the [COMPARE] button directly after [Stop], it will
remove what you just recorded (the knob movements) and you can easily
do it over.
13. How can I change the panning of different drum parts after I
have recorded them? Let's say it consists of a snare, kick, hi hat,
and cymbal crash all on one track. Can you go into track edit
and insert controller changes to pan the hi hat left and the
cymbal right, or do you have to individually record each part of
the drum separately to a different track and then pan the track?
There's not a simple answer to this, but there are several approaches:
1) When you insert Pan CCs (CC #10) into a track, it changes the overall
location of everything on that track until the next Pan CC. So you could
move the hi-hat by putting a value in front of each hi-hat note, then a
different value in front of each snare note, etc. Not very easy to do by
hand.
2) As you suggested, putting the different drum sounds on different
tracks is an easier way to accomplish this. It also lets you "mix" the
levels of the various drum sounds (assuming you send them on different
