Just used Sneap Search for this topic and read for a few hours. I apologize if this topic has been discussed to death. So, here's my deal:
Going to be tracking drums soon for my own band. Our drummer just got dDrum Redshot triggers and a cheap DD1 brain/module (pretty sure that's the model).
We have a Profire 2626 interface. What I'd like to try and do is:
- trigger kick/snare/3 toms
- record 2 OH mics
- maybe room mic (room is shit)
- replace/blend kick/snare/toms with samples
We don't own Superior Drummer or Slate or Trigger or any of that.
What would be our best option? Just running MIDI from the drum brain into the interface would leave us all mic inputs open, but again, no drum VSTi to turn midi to "drums".
Or would be better off just mic'ing everything and replacing the audio tracks with something like DrumReaplacer in Reaper?
Just trying to wrap my head around this before we start setting up gear and getting headaches.
