A couple questions for you Jeff:
Could you give us a little insight into how (or more appropriately "what") you are editing when joey sends you drum tracks?
Meaning, we all know about the slip-editing method, but what tracks are you editing?
Sorry if this is a daft question..
Overheads, room(s), and using close Kick, Snare, and Tom mic tracks for visual references, or using trigger "blips" for quantizing.
If joey is including close mics I can see exactly how it goes down.
But if you are only receiving trigger tracks for Sn, K, and/or Toms,
how do you know what the beat is supposed to sound like while you edit?
Do you simply run instances of Trigger/Gog to monitor the signals?
Also, for those of you who are printing samples, do you print them before editing so that when you finish editing the raw tracks, the samples are aligned? Or do you edit first, then print samples?
I usually edit first, but then im using mic'ed signals to trigger samples and after printing I still have to double check each transient for phase accuracy.
(Although after reading and implementing joeys prefs for drumagog the triggering has been much more accurate. Kicks are almost always right on, Snares and Toms usually still need a little nudge here and there)
I hope these questions make sense, and again sorry if they're lame questions but I have been wondering for a bit about these things.
Thanks
*EDIT.. Of course I guess you could just listen to the OH's/rooms to hear what it is you are editing.. but the other questions still stand. I think..
