Hey guys,

I am using Logic Pro X 10.02.00 and i cant seem to activate Aerodrums on it.

I followed the steps in the tutorial but still when i open logic nothing really happens.
I would love to get a s short tep by step guide about how its done if possible.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers.

Hi,

I am sorry that you are having problems.

I assume that you have done all steps up until 0:43 in this video: https://youtu.be/9Kl9Mw_kqME


I don't know how familiar with logic so I am sorry if this seems obvious;

Please make sure that you selected "midi only" under the midi tab in Aerodrums and that you have the drumming screen open.

Then open logic while still running Aerodrums (do not minimize it).

In Logic X please select "software track" and press "create".

Please then go to your "track strip" for the track you just created and press the drop down menu "instrument" choose "drum kit designer" when drum kit designer opens please press the arrow in the bottom left corner and select "v-drum"

You should now be able to play. If not, please let us know and we will arrange for someone to give you a call.

I believe if you go to Preferences -> Audio -> Devices there will be an I/O Buffer Size option that you can set to a lower value to reduce the latency. The lower the better but you may get glitchy audio if you set it too low.

It should look like this:

The acoustic drum kits in logic seem to work fine but the electronic drum kits in both garageband and logic exhibit strange behaviors. Does anyone have any tips on this. I think it has to do with not being able to select v drums like you would in the drum kit designer, as the drum machine layout screens are a bit different. One of the reasons I bought logic was to be able to just throw in my sounds into the drum machine cells.
