Not trying to hijack the thread, but how does the sub woofer thing work?
Am I the only person here who uses triggers on their acoustic kit?
I was just talking about this with my drummer a few days ago. I mentioned how I saw a guy do this with some cardboard boxes, and the triggers.
So you use triggers, and then use sampled drums? I'd like to hear more about this. We're low budget, and can't always afford the instrumentation that we want, so I was thinking we could expand our drummers sound by putting triggers on his kit.
I don't use sampled drums I tape the triggers to my acoustic drum heads and cymbal domes and they work better than mics IMO especially when it comes to cleaning up the seperate tracks. triggers work exactly the same way a peizo pickup works on a acoustic guitar they pickup the sound wave from the drum head when it is struck. you can plug the triggers directly into a mixer or recording interface without any additonal equipment.
Ok, now I'm intrigued... Do you plug them into a line input?
