Just a note about Drumagog. When it first came out I recorded a live show with Peter Kriss (or is it Criss?) from Kiss and Eddie VH, Rick Derringer, and many others in a Jam at the NAMM show. Peter is an animal and destroyed the snare and 1 of the tom mics. There was still signal, but no quality sound. The producer that contracted me to do the recording, asked if it could be saved. I used a D-4 and Drumagog to replace the bad drums and the overheads blended everything together very nicely. When he heard what I did, he asked if I could replace the kick and the other toms too. Because it was a live gig, it couldn't have been re-recorded and HAD to be repaired.
On another occasion, on a live gig there was only one mic working on the drums (it was the way the venue had it set up). It was a lot of work, and they paid me, but I made several copies of that one drum track, and deleted everything but the kick drum on one track. then deleted everything but the snare on another track, and all the way thru the kit and replaced with Drumagog, and used the original for ambience/blend. They were very happy with the results
 
Sounds interesting.. i am definitely interested in doing that with my kick. The gate I tried did nothing.. unless I should not be adding it as an insert in Cubase? I have a clip that i will post tonight when I get home from the sm57 inside the kick and man you can hear everything! Makes no sense to me. Stay tuned..

Disclaimer: I am a lousy drummer but am learning, improving and enjoy playing so don't tell me i am out of time, that's a given lol! :D
 
Been pondering about Drumagog cymbal replacing as well since day one. I really don't see how it would work. What's the point? Why do people create cymbal GOG files anyway?
Drumagog will trigger from a midi track. So, you could have a drum machine playing drumagog sounds. You could also have an electronic drumset just plugged into and audio interface and record the audio of the triggers, then use drumagog to replace that, the cymbals included.
