Question about Drum Triggers and Sample Replacement

[JamesNorman]

You guys every thought of picking a trigger to midi converter up?
I used to use my TMC-6 in my live set up whn i played metal and triggered my kick...........(http://www.roland.com/products/en/TMC-6/)

bassically sends a midi note, which you get from drumagog when you drumagog a mic and then triggers samples from that, you can set the threshold and x talk to be more precise and even set the out put level it sends out.

This would help the clipping!!

Have you tried using a Y xlr cable for your OHs? You can save an input on your interface. I just thought of the idea today, after seeing the 2into1 xlr cable in an audio production class, so I haven't tried it. Since the OHs will be a stereo track, there's no reason to mix two inputs! If both condensor mics need 48v though, would one input power both mics?

Edit: Oh, they have to be panned.

It will supply 48 volts to both, but you may run into an issue of current draw. It shouldn't be a problem as long as the 48v supply has enough amperage to cover two mics. Only time I could see it being a problem is if the interface regulates the phantom power for each input separately(which probably isn't the case).

Yeah that might be an issue lol

I have one question my self, do Triggers take velocity at all? i.e. If I plug them directly into my interface then use drumagog/aptrigga to use sample replacement, will it have dynamic snare rolls and the like? If the answer Is a yes, I may pick up some very soon

would these have dynamics?

yes and yes

yes and yes

alright let me just run by what I would be doing, just to double check.

I would be hooking up the ddrum triggers to the drum set, then I would plug them direct into my presonus firestudio 2626, then I would load them into Aptrigga or drumagog and replace them with samples. That would work right?

Also I have SD2.0, would I be able to use the trigger hits with it, or I would need to use a drum trigger to send the midi?

Yes, I'm not sure about your SD question because I don't use it, but I do use ApTrigga to replace trigger hits with Slate samples

Yea im gonna do some research about the SD2.0 triggering. Anyways, thanks for all your help man

EDIT:I checked the drumagog site and it can export midi, which means it will work with SD2.0. This is looking good so far Thanks again.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
With this kind of technology. Why would anyone Close mic shells anymore? I honestly dont see a benefit? Unless your making a sample why do it?

Um... Because not everyone want's 100% sample replaced drums...
