In the Project Template, I also have the Master bus set to a different color than the other buses, for the same reason - to make it stand out better as the Master bus. I did choose a different color for the 2 midi tracks, to make it easier to see them in the track folder, because of all the audio tracks. For some reason, bus colors do not persist when inserting the track template into a project. I did assign track icons, and track colors, which will persist if you open a new project, using the project temlate. The buses for Kick, Snare, Toms, and Percussion have sends that go to the Parallel Compression bus, which has some parallel compression dialed up - which can be seasoned to taste, or removed, as desired.

There are also audio tracks for every audio output channel coming from the SSD5 synth rack instance, and a number of buses (Drums Master, Parallel Compression, Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Toms, Ride, Cymbals, Percussion, OH, and Room), and I set up gain staging for all kit piece audio tracks, and the buses, to be set to approximately -18 dBFS. Additionally, in the template track folder (both project and track templates), there are 2 midi tracks (one main midi track, and a 2nd for click track midi data, if desired). The templates have a track folder, an instance of SSD5 with the Cutya drum kit loaded, and that instance of SSD5 has each Mixer kit piece channel routed to use a separate audio output channel. Along with it, I created a Project and Track Template. I created a custom Drum Map, for all the note mapping data for the Cutya Kit, from SSD5-5. Howdy - I posted this in a post earlier, but thought it would be good to add it here, in case anybody wanted to save themselves some work.
