![]() ![]() If you don't it could take you a month to part out the instruments and find the sound(s) you want to replace it with. If you know the software you can pop out something decent pretty quick. Or just getting some of it installed in the first place. You could probably spend a couple lifetimes figuring out all the options on certain software. And that might vary between versions and brands. Then it's either a hit and a sustain, or a bunch of hits. If it goes to a midi stage, which you might want if you're not particularly good at a particular aspect. It depends on the software, it depends on the settings. ![]() and still the band's drummer has to do a good job, not a stupid drum machine. I am not selling those, but they safed my back a number of times and made work faster and easier. In any case it would be desirable to always record tuned drumsets with good drummers in a controlled acoustic environment with excellent microphones. Try those demos and free sounds and see for yourself if it is worth the 200 bucks for what you want to be done. Sure enough you can transform the whole recording into Midi and edit it in the Midi domaine, too, but I never do that. They do that and if you are stuck with a bad drum recording or a cheap beaten up drumset ( or you messed up when recording.) they can come as a blessing. Important is that the software can trigger fast and accurately. Even your own recorded drum sounds can be used. ![]() ![]() There are a lot of libraries out there to cover any style and sound. The sounds from the replacers are all extremely well recorded audio files of rare and famous drumsets, as well as from electronic drum sound creations. All the finesse of the replacement softwares would be wasted. Good e-drums and quality triggers on real drums can transfer this to the Replacer, too, but a piezo or a cheapo microphone can't. Play closer to the rim, hit it more flat, press the stick harder, hold it looser in the hands, use a wide field of the drum head, brighter, lower. Up to 12, maybe more, different sounds for 1 and the same snare with great velocity sensitivity are available to produce the final sound. Yes, you also can use empty carton boxes and a 2 $ mic, but you have no control over sound and expression, which the new generation of drum replacer software can well adopt to. So $20 worth of piezo electric buzzers can be almost as valuable as 20 SM58's which would run about $2000. Also makes for an inexpensive acoustic guitar pick up when placed near the bridge. This can actually be recorded as an audio signal and used as the audio trigger for drum replacement software. Put a 1/4 inch connector at the other end of the wire (10 to 15 feet maximum). You take them apart out of their plastic containers and tape the little round disc to the drum head. You go to Radio Shaft or any other company that features 1 $ piezo electric beepers/buzzers. Conversely, here is one of those stupid, secret, audio engineer tricks. That can still rack up a bill higher than you anticipated. You can purchase actual drum triggers for approximately $20 US each. While there is a variety of both hardware and software to replace compromised sounding drums, one can choose to either record the drums, to be used as triggers, or use MIDI to record the drums which don't require any microphones. A lot of folks here are young and/or are on very limited and exceptionally tight budgets. ![]()
