In that case, it should be a fine tool to use. Can it save sample sets as presets? I actually have it installed on one of our Nuendo machines, I'll have to load it up. Is the multisampling a new feature, beause I'm sure our plugin has not been updated in a while.

As for this group buy, if anyone would like to help organize it, please PM me or Mark. We'll have to figure out a START and END date.

Now, to Andrew.. First, great that your diggin it. Second, the snares.

I would set up the dynamic groups in Drumagog first. There should be a decent amount of space between the CRACKS velocity and the HARD velocity. You don't want a slight mishit to trigger a HARD when it should have been a crack. So I would also go through your original snare track and CLEAN it up. Remove excess leakage that can cause a mistrigger. Fix mishits. And even out the dynamics a bit so your resulting sampled snare isn't too weak at parts. But again, knowing the Drumagog features will really help.

For TOMS, 90% of the time, I get tom tracks that were recorded a bit too low. So even though the drummer is nailing them, it only picks up the medium and soft velocities of the tom samples in Drumagog. So what I'll usually do is stick a limiter before drumagog so it brings the tom peaks up. You could also lower the dynamic groups in Drumagog.

If this confuses anyone, let me know.
