new drum triggering plug in

[Soundscaper]

Beatquantizer can do much more then just quantising.
It REALLY eats beatdetective for lunch and makes soundreplacing a joy.
Works WAAAYYY faster than any of the PT equivalents. Sorry it is not yet MAc compatible.
Try the FREE demo, works for 30 days, you'll be hooked long before that

Quantising drumtracks KEEPS the drummers dynamics (yes sometimes that is wanted too) but brings them closer to the real clock of the song. Also some drummers have a very good hit, but a bad timing.

Newbie speaking: .... so, Beatquantizer essentially does the same thing as aptrigga and drumagog, then? Letting you mix the dynamics of a real drummer's playing with tighter samples, right?

 

[Soundscaper]

yep, download the demo here www.beatcreator.com and see for yourself. I stopped using drumagog as i didn't get the timing of it optimal on blastbeatparts with too less original volume.
I immediatly bought it. The price is VERY competitive, especially with the low dollarrates of today.
You can also get miditracks generated as well to export to any sequencer. Peter Segherdal (the programmer) is also very sensitive to user advising. In the few months i've been working with it, he upgraded 6 times! Sometimes just overnight after a good chatsession with me. Cool guy that really deserves our attention.

That's exactly what I'm looking for!
I'm not interested in programming drums since it sounds too artificially for me. Normally I use about 50% sample and 50% mic when mixing drums...

Thanks, I will check those demos out soon.

will the aptrigga work with nuendo on pc??

 

[2dark]

yes it does. also I just played with the demo version.
I can run 4 instances on an old PIII 450 machine.
Nuendo 2.01 and Windows 2k

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

yeah cool thanks 2dark, i just tried it on nuendo and yeah it's a charm. man, you dont even know, i've been punching in all the kicks by hand and its a pain in the ass, damn this will solve all my problems.

Well, almost--i guess my drummer is gonna have to get tighter! i'm running the aptrigga on the kick right now for a track we did a couple weeks ago, no warming up, just straight recording. We took andy's advice and recorded the trigger into an audio track (as opposed to straight through the DM5 and into midi format)... and man! Drummer boy needs to clean up his kicks, that's for sure! I guess i'll have to compress the shit out of them and punch in and out a lot of shit. still better than putting it all in by hand and mouse.

for the record, all-time favorites, megadeth are playing tomorrow night in the city and i'm debating whether or not to go. I saw a recent set list and they're playing lots of goodies, apparently. should i go? i've already got tix to lamb of god, fear factory, and children the next night! decisions, decisions!

 

[Andy Sneap]

found a few glitches with aptrigger in pro tools, doesnt like group cross fades being done when plug in is in session, but you can work around that.

I'm quite liking the new Megadeth by the way, has its moments.

yeah cool thanks 2dark, i just tried it on nuendo
and yeah it's a charm. man, you dont even know, i've been punching in all
the kicks by hand and its a pain in the ass, damn this will solve all my
problems.

that's what I did on our last CD too. Eding drums (kick and snare )for
4 hours every evening/night for a whole week with Samplitude. And man, that
piece of software just sucks big time IMHO.
My drummer was so embarrassed by that, that he actually started working
on his drumming. (And after threatening him ....)

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Yeah I happily forked out the 39 bucks for it just now. Thanks for the advice on it Andy and everyone else....hopefully my drummer will work a little harder when he hears himself too.

As far as "The System Has Failed" goes, that track 3 is something else, 1990 again, holy shit where did that song come from?! rust in peace is one of my fav albums of all time and it's like that song could have been on it, you know!
