Where?
Thanks for the info fellows. I checked out Trigger and the editor that goes along with it. I know Jimmy has used it in the past for drum replacement with good results.
Well, crap. I didn't think I was going to buy drum software today. But this looks too good to pass up.
Hmmm, now the FMR RNC in my Amazon shopping cart is going to have to lay low for a while...I hope it doesn't get lonely before next payday.
Let the GAS be your master...
Indeed
So in your opinion, does SSD have processing built-in to the samples? Or do they sound raw? Just asking because I'm growing tired of the EQ that was obviously built in to the EZD samples, and fighting it in every mix. I understand why it's there, so people can leave their drum tracks alone and get some of the presence that a 5K EQ bump provides, but it drives me nuts because I'm not a fan of it. I end up notching out a narrow Q around 5K on all of my kick, snare, and overhead tracks. That gets tiring.
Technically, enhance is a more descriptive word of what the software does than replacement. I used replacement because SSD used the word in one of it's videos, But I agree with Jimmy that the word enhance is more descriptive of what the software actually does. I know people who also use Drumagog with good results.Yeah, the editor is very cool and simple for making your own samples for SS Trigger. You can sample your own snare with 100's of articulations (different samples 'recordings' triggered by your specified velocity in Trigger) and use them on other performances or even just enhance your own snare with a bleed free sample of your actual snare.
By the way I really don't like to use the word 'replacement'. Enhance is better. You can't get rid of the overheads or anything recorded in the room. I blend the trigger with what is there. Kick you can almost replace completely, but I usually mix them together to keep the character of the players kit.
'Replace' is a bit strong of a term here.
