Oct 27, 2008 02:53 pm With the drumagog VST you could muffle the drums and record them dry, then trigger them in your DAW for replacement. Cymbals can be triggered also, but I do not have the setup for that.
yeah... i know im lame

ok, s im going to be gettin a place sometime soon, but i know its gonna have to be cheap... so that means apt. im wondering (since ive never done something using MIDI before) is it possible to trigger my drums (after stuffing them with pillows), run them through the Alesis I/O Percussion Pad to MIDI Interface, connect that via MIDI through my firepod, and use a VSTi for a drum machine?
if so, what would be the best drum simulator would be the best (most real) sounding one?

Oct 27, 2008 11:25 pm well, im really not likin how drumagog is workin... mainly cuz its not (long story). but im thinking about buyin a pack of triggers and recording the cymbals by making my drums dead as hell and miking the cymbals... cept i wanna nice bell really bad, so i might use an old drum to trigger that sound too.
im just not sure how anything works cuz ive never used MIDI before

Oct 28, 2008 12:56 pm Hmmm, drumagog does not work for you? That is a pretty rock solid program and some of the best drum replacement I have heard. Ah well.
Oct 28, 2008 01:16 pm For the price of a set of MIDI triggers, you could probably get a MIDI controller like the EMU Xboard and get similar results. that's the MIDI controller I use, and I'm pretty satisfied with the feel, dynamics, etc. that I'm able to obtain, especially for the price (less than $200).
It comes with Proteus X, which runs either stand-alone or as a VSTi. Tons of sound libraries, including the Protean Drums package, which includes well over a hundred drum kits, a few of which are pretty damn cool sounding.
Just an idea, since you're going for quiet drum recording. This would be totally silent if you're using headphones, or however loud you want it to be if you're using loudspeakers or monitors.
There are also drum trigger pads out there that lend themselves to tapping out rhythms a bit better than a keyboard, but a keyboard is much more versatile (you could use it as, you know, a keyboard!).
