So far I have been using only 3 drum sets (Pop, Rock Bossa) and I am learning FILL very slowly. I could trigger Fills 70% where I need. Typically at last measure of a Region or Band#.
- Do I have to add another Drum (Fill) in Sound below Drum (main), in order to get exact Fill?
- Picking Drum set: Must I pick only Basic, Default, Ride or something else, except with FILL? I decided to add FILL Sound to all Bands. I have about 10 Bands in each song.
- Picking Drum FILL: Do I need to avoid same one as main Drum sound? and vice versa.
- Same group of Drum and FILL: Such as Pop Fill Basic and Pop Fill 2 Ride. Will Hookpad play all notes on top of each other? It sounds different. Should main Drum Fill xxx reverse to Drum Basic once Drum Fill is added on?
- I tested by deleting Drum sound and saw that Fill sound assumed FULL drum duty. This is hard to understand. I thought that FILL are additional or reducing notes (overlay?) that play along modified basic Drum only at specific measure or position.
- I just found that for Drum = Pop Fill xxxx it will Fill every 8 bars. How will this spacing effect custom FILL (from Band or Region change). FILL seemed not care about 8-Bar increment. I FILLed at 4th Bar of Intro but could not at 3rd Bar of Outro!.
- Can I mix rhythm to get FILL? (The answer is yes, but under which condition?)
- BossaNova does not have Fill? I had to borrow FILL sound from Pop. Also Rock from Pop.
- Should FILLs have their own group and Sound? Like Pickups (for Drum not Measure). This will be very practical.
- What will Drum Pickups do and where? I tried at beginning of middle Section but did not hear anything. If Pickups are only for Pickup Bar, Hookpad should not offer them to my following Band#. Same as few other Not Applicable picks.
- Can you add FILL sign above each location? Or make sure sucessful FILL at expected location. Without a clue, I had to keep on trying and replaying.
Thanks,
