Hit either c2 or c3 on your midi keyboard. It's an octave lower than the bass drum. This will nullify the playing of the preset drum patterns. --- On Fri, 3/13/09, Mark Dew <jmkeybd1@c harter.net> wrote: From: Mark Dew <jmkeybd1@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ddots-l] Unwanted sounds with session drummer To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, March 13, 2009, 11:58 AM Hello, I'm using Sonar producer 8 with ct. I load session drummer in to a midi track with it's associated audio track. Problem is, when I press play, drum sounds are heard. I haven't even recorded anything yet. However, when I go in to record mode, midi notes are recorded on the track. What is wherd, no matter what bar I start play at, the unrecorded sounds play. What is going on? Thanks in advance.
