Can i send two acoustic bass drum triggers to say the roland td-3 tom1 and tom2 inputs and assign bassdrum sounds to the tom inputs and then send the headphone out to a mixer where everything else is mic'd? So i can get a better bassdrum sound, im not trying to be perfect just better than bass drum mics straight to mixer. thanks in advance.

Apr 18, 2008 10:27 pm If you're recording on PC, then you can replace the drum hits.
Reaper does this nice with a fft analyzer/gate, feeding to a sample player.

I know you may not be using reaper, but the method should be duplicatable on other programs as well.
Otherwise, sounds like your method is valid. I'd certainly give it a try. Should work well. Just don't use the headphone volume too high. It may overdrive whatever you're sending it to.
Apr 18, 2008 10:38 pm im using cubase sx, i didnt know there were such plugins available, that reaper vid was cool it made what ive been having trouble with forever look easy.

Apr 19, 2008 07:28 am Cool, I've played with this setup in reaper, and used a headset mic to put in a 'smack' sound by hitting the mic.
Then I replace it with a kick. Then record another one, and replace that with a snare.
Then another one, and replace that with cymbals. It's pretty cool. I end up with a whole drum kit, that was just made by me hitting a headset mic.
If you have the drum track, then it should be pretty easy to just use the replacer plugin to replace your kick. I suppose you could use an EQ in front of it if you have some bleed in the kick signal.
Apr 20, 2008 09:21 pm hey i was wondering what kind of 1/4 do i use for between triggers and module, an instrument cable or is there a 1/4 cable made for triggers?
Apr 20, 2008 09:29 pm If you're pads are dual trigger you'd use TRS (balanced/stereo) 1/4 inch cable, if not instruments cable is fine.
Apr 20, 2008 09:42 pm they arent dual trigger they are the roland acoustic kick triggers so im guessing instrument is fine, and would the same be true for the output of a module to a mixer.
