"I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I suggest watching this video first (because she corrects a mistake she made in the first video).I'm a composer, sound designer and engineer for the last 10 years and there's one quote that used to hang on my wall while I was working hard on countless projects:
Mt power drumkit 2 vst download how to#
Jane, from Music Repo, has two excellent videos about using VST drums in Reaper, with one of them being devoted to how to download MTPowerDrumkit 2 and getting it to work (I think that she mentions the same website I did, but I am not sure). I finally have everything up and running properly in MTPDK2 - after I had posted here that things were working, they stopped working, but now everything is running smoothly.įor others interested in downloading, and getting MTPDK2 to work properly, and/or for those who may be new to MIDI and who want to understand it a bit more, I would suggest the following posts and videos: This way, you won't have to do this all over again the next time. Watch this video:Īfter you have the kick drum sounding to your liking, select all the tracks in the drum folder and save them as a track template by going to the tracks menu and choose Save tracks as template. I'm not sure if there is a ReaEQ preset for kick drums to use a starting point or not, but even if there is you should learn how to use ReaEQ. There should be a track labeled "Kick" or "Bass Drum" or such, click that track's FX button. You will get a list of available track templates - choose one of the MTPDK templates. Start with a New project and then right-click the empty space in the TCP and choose Load track from template. copy/move the files you downloaded from the Stash to this folder. In that path will be a subfolder named TrackTemplates. In REAPER, go to the Options menu and near the bottom, click on Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder. Next, you'll need to copy them to REAPER's TrackTemplates folder. There are two of them there, not sure if one is better than the other (I made my own) so you may want to download both and delete the one you don't like: Unless you use a drum replacer, which is probably a little too complicated for you at this point, you'll need to give the kick some balls using EQ.įirst, to make sure this works as I describe, download a MTPDK. So, any advice about this would be appreciated.Īlso, when I go into drumkit mode and click on each individual instrument in the kit, everything seems to be OK, except the kick drum, which is giving a very quiet, un-kick-drum-like 'pat' sound.Ĭan anyone advise me about how I can map (is this the right term?) a deeper, more kick-drum-like sound to the kick drum? Now, I can hear the kit and/or loops when I load them as an instance after pressing FX, but I cannot hear them when playing back the track. MT-PowerDrumkit.dll and MT-PowerDrumkit-content.dll files to my FX folder, rather than to my VST folder, which is one level above the FX folder. For some reason, the MTPDK 2 plugin would not work until I added the I misunderstood the activation process - Goldreap, thankyou for clarifying that I actually had to enter my computer ID on the download page on the PowerDrumkit site - I found your advice about this, and the post in the following link helpful in this respect Ģ.
It turned out that there were two things that were going on:ġ. Many thanks for your help with this, and sorry that I dropped out of contact without thanking you and acknowledging your help.įinally got the MT Power Drumkit 2 to work. I would really appreciate some help for this.Īlso, am I right in thinking that the folder to which one installs VST's should be the one named in Options - Preferences, as I described above?

In the several ways and locations that I have tried to install PDK2 I have got to the same screen in which one has to enter the given 4 digit 'Computer ID', as the 'Installation Key' for PDK2.Įntering the Computer ID never works, though.
I did not have a VST3 folder under Program File, so I created it, and copied the two PDK2 files there when I go back into Reaper (open it again after copying the files over), the files are in the VSTi folder. If I go to Options - Preferences, the folder listed for VST's is Program Files - VST3
I found one post which said that PDK2 should run as a standalone, but that does not work for me. The installation instructions for Power Drumkit 2 specify copying two files to the 'FX' folder (Program Files - Reaper(圆4) - Plugins - FX), but this does not do the trick. I have read some other posts about this on the forums, but am either not understanding fully what to do, or the problem is not anything to do with me.
