I have just recorded live drums but i'm not satisfied with the sound of the kick and I don't want to begin the recording again, instead i was thinking of another solution. I'm not sure of it, but I want to know if there is a way in cubase sx or a plug-in for it that let me use my analog kick drum track to trigger a new midi track with a better sounding kick sample....
sorry, my english isn't good enough

Jul 16, 2003 08:31 pm You need to aquire a plugin called Drumagog - here's the url for it:
www.drumagog.com/
However, before splashing out for that plugin, have you tried applying the following EQ:
Boost at 80Hz.
Cut at 360hz (quite a wide Q)
Boost at 2Khz.
That will add a lot more oompth to a kick drum recording.

jeus has info but if you're doing blackmetal then you'll need to tape a quarter on the INSIDE if the kick to get the "all attack" sound. to get a lot of "oomph" you'll probably need to set another kick drum infront of the one being played and mic both... and of course mic choice is big on kick... a SM57 is going to sound completely different from a Beta52 or AKG D112 ... and those two sound very different
... plus it could be a phase problem because the kick is easily picked up by all the other mics...
of course of you have the time and are cheap like me then you could just make another track and paste in samples of that "perfect" kick sound manually.
