Soundreplacement: after or during the recording?

[::XeS::]

Hi
Which is the better (or your) way to work with drums soundreplacement?

Check this video:

It seems that Tue monitors with the samples already assigned to the various tracks.....it seems...I could be wrong

i could be wrong also, but for me the kick doesnt sound as if its played by the drummer.

Maybe because it's the trigger sound, not the actual kick drum. It often makes the kick sound like it's not being played at the same time as other drums. When he soloes some tracks near the beginning, you can hear the natural kick sound, and it's completely different than the sample used. Check the part at about 1:49, and you hear it's the real drums since there's a small kick drum timing mistake.

had only watched a short piece of it, but even now where i heard the natural kick and the little mistake, i think something is strange. the first time i watched i just found the hits sounding too quantized.

I always do all drum editing/sound replacement before moving on to guitars and bass.

I don't think any of the above comments were meant to be harsh. I'd guess that everything has a place, to be honest, so I'm wondering how different things are really going to be.

One disadvantage I see to monitoring with samples is that a shit-sounding drum will still pop up in the overheads; on the other hand, if you know you'll be sampling anyway and the drummer is thwacking away solely to feed the MIDI monster then sampling could help the drummer not worry so much about being directly at the center of the 2cm ceiling-tom with the exact same amount of force each time, and then timing might improve somewhat since the other issues are minimized.
