I’d like to use the ACMP but sometimes I have my drummer with me and need to just mute the drum while keeping the ACMP
Any ideas how ?
Hi Dziekanc,
If you only set the volume of the Drum parts of the Style in the mixer to zero, you would have to do this separately for each registration. In addition, it is not easy for the drummer to play along with an accompaniment that is completely without drums in the correct timing.
Instead, I recommend routing the Style Drum parts ("StyleRhythm1/2" and "Style Audio") to two
Sub outputs) using the "Line Out" display. This automatically removes these parts from the Main out signal, and you can give the drummer this stereo signal (of the two Sub outs) on headphones or in-ear phones (e.g. via a small external mixer with headphone output). Alternatively, you could also route the internal Metronome to a (further) Sub out and then only put THIS Sub out on the drummer's headphones. However, I would use the original drums, as described first.
You can
save the Sub out routing in
registrations. I recommend to first save a registration with the
standard routing (all parts routed to the Main outputs). In a second registration you save the configuration for playing with the live drummer (Style Drums routed to two Sub outs). When saving these registrations, it is best to
only check the box next to "Line Out". If "Line Out" is NOT saved in all other registrations, you can simply switch between the two Line Out settings using these two setup registrations.

Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
