Both are valid techniques. I find EA slightly quicker. And done right, it works fine for drums (and even better for mono sources - I don't want to edit piano or acoustic guitar without it ever! bass it's very useful for too). |
I've used BD for the most insane drum editing I can imagine (not because I wanted to but purely because I had no other choice) complete with having to do separate passes to get ghost notes and groups within groups to deal with drummers that flop around on the kick etc... There's really nothing I haven't been able to accomplish unless the drummer is not actually hitting something which then requires other techniques.
I mean I guess as some point it's like why bother? Go use a drum machine or have the poor guy (or someone who's capable) play it again or play something you want. Turd polishing has reached unbelievable heights nowadays. On the other hand, EA is timestretching/compressing and thus screwing with the audio and defeats the purpose of capturing the performance with all the gear that I prefer to use on drums
