drum editing

[Dragonfly]

I read about an editing function called a strip-silence command for use in editing and quantizing drum parts by hand. I was wondering how I can acquire this program or if ProTools, Peak, or Digital Performer already have this capability. thanks guys,

built into tools - but you may have more fun checking out beat-detective + tab to transient

Strip silence works nice.....but you gotta be carefull with it...sometimes you can strip too much...

[toolskid]

rather than for drum editing (although in certain situations it is usefu) - I tend to use strip-silence to prepare tracks for sound replacing + for effects.

I've heard (perhaps from you?) that Sound Replacer PERFORMS BETTER on a simple track (ie a stripped silenced one) than on a track full of spill....

It has to 'think less' and is more 'accurate' - anyone agree?

I actually use a plug in called apptrig which supports up to nine velocity layers and is one hundred percent sample accurate.it also includes pitch and an ADSR and totally rocks and all this for about 35 bucks.

TOTALLY - give it as few options as possible - then u dont have to go thru and correct nearly as many (sometimes any) problems

[Jules]

Redroom - is that a VST thing or will it integrate with Pro Tools?

seems to be vst/au only - might be able to be wrapped tho...

Drumagog - http://www.drumagog.com/

looks good too, but is PC only (and not tools compatible anyway)

If only sound replacer just added a preview button - that would be an improvement.

Aptrigga works great and it's so cheap!
$39!
I don't see why anyone would buy one of the other triggers considering aptrigga does basically everything drumagog does and way more than soundreplacer does.

Sound Replacer is long overdue an upgrade.
It has potential, but 3 levels of velocity is nowhere near enough.
BTW, I always write the new sound (replaced) to a new track, keeping the original drum sound intact, just in case there is a problem with the Replacer sound or I don't like the overall effect.

I absolutely love drumagog and use it in protools on a regular basis.

The fact that the program incorporates random sample triggers for redundant amplitudes makes the program a MUST have when doing consecutive drum hit replacement.

My 2 cents.

As a native PC direct x plug-in ? - There isn't a mac rtas, is there?

[norman_nomad]

I'm PC based on a PT LE system. I double wrap it:

then into ---->

'FFX-4 DX manager' - found here: http://www.vb-audio.com/

A little ugly.. but it works.

If I'm mixing in a sample with the orig kik, I will copy the kik track and process it with a heavy gate to get rid of the "spill"; Then I use sound replacer on the gated track. It definitely works better, but you still have to zoom in and move some peaks around to get them to match

does anyone have a good source for samples? Affordable and preferably free? I have used the drumagog demo, and want to try out Aptrigga.
