Hey so guys first i would like to say that if this subject was previously covered on this forum i am sorry that i am posting this but i really would appreciate some help from all of you.
Alright, so after a completly annoying battle on getting drumagog installed with my PC (vista sucks) I went to go track some drums to see get better with it obviously.
When i was tracking the drums with Slate, I had a lot of problems with latency, but i think i have that under control now but anywayz my main issue is getting the tracks to trigger right.
I set my sample sensitivty so i can pick up the hits that aren't being trigger for the snare, as far as the soft ones for rolls and stuff. I am using sm57s on the drums BTW.
But when i set my sensitivity to high i get double triggering on almost 60% of my snare hits that are somewhat hard, so i set it low so i can just get clean triggers with hard hits, but i also loose the soft hits being triggered right.
I taped a few napkins rolled up to deaden the sound it did help but it is still a hassel
I am using the gogs. files imported into Drumagog. this is mostly a snare issue.
Also how should i set up my levels as far as my pre go, should i push them hard to pick up every hit? or low to minimize bleed from other drums?
So confused, i have a band coming in, in two weeks, and if i have to program more drums i am going to explode haha!
I would like to note: When sampling my toms, they just sound horrible. I am using the slate maples and they just have so much overtone when triggered with Drumagog
My questions,
-How hard should i be running my pres on each drum?
-What should i do to minimize bad sampling?
-How should the mics be set up to pick up the best results?
Thanks for reading! and please help if you can!
