I know that, and I may look into triggers for next time, but it sounds like vectron has some good ideas of how to replace an already recorded track so I want to know if anybody can help me do this.
Pat, did you also look at Jtrig?
http://jens.org/stuff/jtrig/readme.htm
Read that page for a quick tutorial on how to use Jtrig with Cubase VST5.
He even mentions that he tried PeakFreak.
OK, I just looked up the features of Acid Pro 4, and it appears
that it does midi and handles VST plugins, so it may be
possible to do it all in Acid, but I am not 100% sure.
You have to do the second step now which is to convert your
isolated recorded drum track to a Midi track using PeakFreak,
Jtrig, or whatever. This will be the toughest step and you probably will have to play with settings to get a decent
conversion.
You then will clean up the midi file to make sure there are
no extra, missing, or misplaced notes.
You can then, use
the LoopAZoid sampler VSTi plugin with
your custom drum sample mapped to the note number used
in your midi file, and have the midi file play through that.
Next, I think you can bounce down the midi file to an audio
track, and make sure it is lined up properly with the other
drum tracks so everything is in proper sync.
I would keep the original isolate drum sound track in Acid
while you are working, because you can always mute it.
That way you can compare it to your new replacement bounced down audio track.
