triggers missing hits

[arv_foh]

Hey guys... So I recorded my 2nd band today and they were a lot more metal than the last band I recorded, lots of double kick work and such... I've been having a problem with my kick (and sometimes toms) triggers missing hits, usually when the hits are soft or during fast double bass parts. There is not even a registered hit on the wave file.

Now, I'm plugging my triggers directly into the line inputs on the back of my MOTU. If I buy some pre's and plug the triggers into the pre's, and gain them up will this eliminate the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

i had this problem when the trigger didn't fit over my snare rim properly and the pad wasn't completely seated on the drum head. I put the trigger on a different drum and it worked...but anyways check the trigger pad and make sure its really pressed up against the head.

Ok, I will make sure I do that next time, I thought I had them down pretty good though
