Hey,
I'm new to the forum and in search of wisdom.
I am working on a recording project on using Cubase 5.
I am dealing with a multi-track drum performance recording and would like to use the tracks to trigger the TD-20 drums, then recoreding the audio from the TD-20 module.
I imagine the best way to do this would be to use the acoustic drum recordings to trigger MIDI information.
Then edit the information and play the MIDI track through the TD-20 and record audio form the TD-20.
The question: Does anybody know of software or a Cubase plugin that will be triggered by the acoustic recording and create a MIDI representation?
I appreciate any help.
 
Slate trigger will do it.

Toontracks drumtracker also does it.

Between the 2 I think trigger does it better. Drumagog will also do it, but I have heard complaints.
 
It's also built into cubase, edit the waveform of say the kick drum then chose hit point editor and change the threshold/sensativity until the hit points are only picking up hits, then click create midi notes from hit points, select the note you want that track to output and DONE, no plug in necessary. You can also get into the track and edit individual hit points that may be late or missing or so on. You can also quantize the rest of the project to those hit points if you have any timing issues, man i LOVE cubase!
 
Good point, pahtclub. I use KT, however, because it's got a million more options.

Cheers :)

I've tried this and it didn't seem to work well for me. Maybe on a cleaner/isolated track?
