    Alesis D4 vs DM5 for turning triggers to MIDI.

    My DM4 i had also didn' t have MIDI parameters so used to mis fire like a bitch, had to run a MIDI Converter before hand to control the threshold and the X-Talk etc

    Reduce bleed from snare and toms?

    Invest, alot of people sway more to Roland triggers though. Do some research. They simply send clicks everytime the drum is hit, these are then easily replaced because of the outright transient produced, if sample replacing is your main plan for drum recording this is the way to go.

    Reduce bleed from snare and toms?

    As you mentioned you wanna blend the samples. Copy the tracks you wanna replace and blend these in along side your originals. On the copies tracks, strip silence. Then high pass, low pass to eliminate spill. If this doesnt work, boost a notch on the most prominent frequency of each drum to...

    got demotivated. some suggestions

    Personally I wouldn't, tracking loud distorts the speakers, especially when going for a crisp tone, I wouldn't. Secondly, room tone is jack unless your room mixing? Up front metal tone? Would think you want room. I'd set the microphone up in axis around 30% on the cone, 70% off. Then pit all...

    Recording drums friday... tips?

    Yep. Augment a sample of you snare underneath, to hold the ryhtem. Then the actual snare will act as a dynamic so it wot sound as automated.
