Setting Up MT Power Drum Kit 2 Multi-Tracks in Reaper: A Step-by-Step Guide

================================================================================

If you're new to using drum kits within digital audio workstations like Reaper and are having trouble getting started with the MT Power Drum Kit 2 (MTPDK), don't worry – this article is here to guide you through every step of setting up multi-tracks for your kit.

### Step 1: Installing MTPDK into Your DAW

Before we dive in, make sure that both Reaper and MT Power Drum Kit 2 are properly installed on your computer. If not, download the latest versions from their respective websites:

* 'MT Power Drum Kit 2'(https://www.madscientistdrumloops.com/mt-power-drumkit-6.html)

* 'Reaper DAW'(http://www.reAPERforum.com/index.php?)

### Step 2: Inserting MTPDK as a Virtual Instrument

1. Open your Reaper project and click on the 'Browser' tab in the top left corner of the main window.

2 Click-and-hold (or right-click) within an empty area inside the Browser's list view, then choose "Insert virtual instrument"

3 In the next dialog box that appears, navigate to where you installed MTPDK and double click on it. The plugin should now be visible in your main Reaper window.

### Step 3: Routing Outputs from Mixer to Tracks

1 Click on the 'Mixer' tab at the top of your Reaper project window if it's not already open.

2 Within the MT Power Drum Kit mixer, you'll see various output channels (e.g., Kick, Snare etc.) represented as small squares. You need to route these outputs from the mixer into separate tracks within your main mixdown area where each drum can be independently processed and mixed together later on Latter more about this below...

without further ado let us proceed onto our final step.

### Step 4: Routing Outputs from Mixer to Tracks (continued)

1 In the MT Power Drum Kit mixer, click-and-drag a cable from one of the output channels you want to route into an empty track in your main mix area. Repeat this process for each drum channel until all four drums are routed correctly:

* Kick drum: Route to Track 1

* Snare drum: Route to Track 2

### Step 5: Adjusting Gain Levels and Monitoring

Once you've successfully routed the outputs from your MT Power Drum Kit mixer into separate tracks within Reaper, it's time to adjust some basic gain levels and monitoring settings:

* Click on each track in turn (you can hold down Shift while clicking multiple tracks at once) and click on the small gear icon at the top right corner of each channel strip.

* In the 'Insert' window that appears, scroll through the available effects until you find a plugin called "Gain". Double-click to insert it into your chain. Adjusting this gain knob will allow you to control how loud or quiet each drum sounds in relation to others.

### Step 6: Final Touches and Export

And that's it! With these basic steps completed, you should now have a fully functional MT Power Drum Kit 2 setup within Reaper with multi-tracks for each individual drum. Now all there is left to do is experiment with different combinations of effects processors (reverb units, compressors etc.) until your mix sounds just right – then export it as an MP3 or WAV file ready to share online.
