I had to make up a trial template for Cakewalk that I could use in finalising all our current MIDI backing files for our 3pce band, The tracks contain drums, and any keys, brass and synth as required. The Cakewalk file had to have direct outputs that could be mixable in our Soundcraft Ui24R mixer so that our sound man can mix live at our gigs.

A major problem I faced was that a lot of the drum MIDIs had percussion mixed in and the Steven Slate Drums VST we will be using doesn't have the congas, cowbell, timbales etc. Neither does the SI-Drum kit ( some of which as drum-sets are pretty good actually ) have that.

@Harley Dear as a quick note - you might investigate the Session Drummer 3. when reviewing some of my older projects, i'd forgotten i used it for a lot of percussion as well as drums, and when i checked the PRV, it was all nicely laid out as if using a drum map, but it wasn't. there are 12 assignable stereo output. audio is based on WAV samples. tuning each instrument is an option as well as "width". you'd have to check out the latency between MIDI and sound, but it seemed ok to me.
