I am looking for a simple program to replace drum kit sounds. I will use it mostly for kick and toms. I am fed up with recording crappy drum kits and spending hours trying to get them to sound good. I have heard of drumagog. Is this program just soundclips or does it automatically replace drum sounds? I am using PT LE 6.1.
 
You'll still spend hours with sound replacement software. I own drumagog and while it's nice to have when you really just can't do anything with a drummers drum sounds, It's time consumeing.

anyway. I'm not sure If i understood your question.it sounded almost like you were asking if it was some kind of drum machine or something. it's not.....although you can use drum machine samples if you really want.

download the trial and decide if it's something you're willing to pay for.
 
So with drumagog, you still have to go in the wav and manually replace drum samples? Are there any other programs out there?

No way. You do not have to spend hours with drumagog, just takes a little tweaking to be able to pick up every hit, and not pick up hits from other drums when your trying to work on the snare or something.

It gets super easy and stress free when you use actual triggers instead of microphones if you know that your going to be replacing the drum sound. Theres almost no tweaking to be done just put them on, get a level, turn on drumagog, pick your sound, and go. If you don't have triggers and you're just going to use microphones anyway, put the kick drum mic further into the drum then you normally would and throw a blanket over your kick drum to help isolate it. I made these little foam isolaters out of eggcrate foam stuff, they work great around an sm57 and isolate the sound well.

Good luck.
 
Drumagog is the way and the light. It doesn't take any time to make it work if you have the drums recorded well and all on separate channels. If you can work a noise gate, you can work Drumagog. The sounds it comes with (once you buy it) are very useable and pretty comprehensive.

This will answer all your questions.
 
i've found that the type of drummers that you would want to use drumagog on literally take hours to use it on. I have to use a massive amount of automation....especially on snare drums.

but, I've also never recorded a drummer with the intention of using drumagog on his tracks. it's always a last resort.
 
There are a bunch of different parameters that make things trigger better. Putting it in advanced mode makes a big difference.
Drumagog is really good a replacing the sound of the drums, replacing the performance is another story.
