Drums sound a little dull to me, and the guitar tone is not my cup of tea, but otherwise sounds nice man.

 

[James Murphy]

sounds great on my laptop speakers Frank.

Nice work! Good band, too. That never hurts, eh?

 

[kaomao]

Uh yes Frank great work!!!
Did you blend the trigger sound with drums as well?
I mean snare is: natural/sample and the sound of the trigger, remember the trick andy discussed here?

No. That is the way when I go the analogue way (tapemachine). I Just take the Trigger tracks to work with Drumagog (snare)and ApTrigga (toms, kick). It's definitely more precise to work with them instead of the mic tracks.

Yep I think the trigger signal is more "secure"!!
running the mic track into drumagog/aptrigga is a pain in the ass sometimes!!!
Well anyway I just thought about that trick to add more pop to the signal!!

Yeah, but it's not necessary if you've got good samples.
