Drum replacement?

[NL5]

You need to shut of the "auto align" feature. It tries to align the phase (time-wise) of the sample with the slope of the original kick. This is good for supplementing (hearing both the old kick and the new sample), but sucks for total replacement. Drumagog is way too deep too play around with for a couple hours without consulting the manual, and getting stupendous results.

So, if the phase of the track, and the phase of the sample are 180 degrees off, will it flip the sample to match?

Not sure I saw a function like that, but I could have overlooked it.

Cheers man,

I don't think so, I think it would move it in time. I'm not sure. It might flip it once it gets to be a certain number of degrees out of phase...

On the mian page, towards the bottom right, there are a number of check boxes, one of them says "auto-align". You want that unchecked

this is irrelevant.

this is irrelevant.

It's only irrelevant if you are doing a complete replace. If you are suplementing (playing both the original and the the sample) it can make a big difference, even if they aren't the same sound.

yes and no... phase implies time/freq relationship which the two do not share significantly. inverting is really of no use unless the two share a common source. sliding in time may be as much or more significant than inverting.

I'm looking to replace a recorded kick drum track with samples.
Is there any way to do this using MIDI and gates, so I don't need to get Drumagog or something like that?

Cheers,

jump to the reaper forums at www.reaper.fm and check some tutorials by a guy named pipelineaudio. He has a pretty slick way of doing this. Maybe not as robust as Drumagog, but you seem like this is a one time thing for you, so it would likely work well.

There is also a killer way to take single note audio files and convert to midi that I just used to turn some trombone parts into midi parts. worked really well.

Thanks man.
Yeah Ive heard of turning audio instrument recordings into midi notes. Pretty cool.

I would try the newest demo of Drumagog, which is 4.10. Its way tighter then previous versions.
