using cool edit pro to trigger....

[veil the sky]

i'm relatively new to cool edit pro. and i would like to know if i can use it as a trigger. here's what i mean:

i have some tracks of audio recorded on some old equipment that i can export in wave format, but the sound quality is poor. can i use that wave signal in cool edit pro as a trigger and hence replace all the crap sounding bass drum sounds with synthesised ones?

You need Sound Replacer, unfortunately I used only the TDM (Pro Tools) version, so I don't know if there's any vst o direct x version available.

I'll look after it.
cheers

thanks for the info but...... i have found the program i am looking for and i can completely recommend this thing:

www.drumagog.com

drumagog is an incredible little piece of direct x software that plugs into Cubase or whatever you are using and acts as a trigger for drums. you can use it to change all of your drum sounds it's really user friendly and it's saved me SOOO much time on drum editing already. i can well recommend that anyone into their production get this little beauty

My band recorded our demo using Cool Edit Pro, but our drummer already has his bass drums triggered, and we actually had to trigger his snare because we couldn't get a decent sound otherwise. Check out the links in my sig to see what I mean. I think it sounds okay.

yeh sounds great man! i don't think triggering the snare would work for music that wasn't quite as 'brutal' as yours. a drummer can get a great variety of tones out of a snare depending how and where he hits it. triggering would obliterate that. it also ruins ghost notes.

gives greatly increased clarity to the snare in your case tho.

Yeah... anyway most of the so called "Scandinavian Thrash Metal Sound" is based on Kick and Snare triggering.

These days is very useful to trigger snare if the band plays such a sort of metal....

I used to trigger the toms and the kick instead of the snare/kick on this band: http://www.mothercare.it -> samples page: http://www.mothercare.it/nuovomother/prova_mp3_eng.htm

The "real" toms were lacking to much character.

hmmm i tend to find the opposite. i find the sampled toms almost always lack character. have you ever tried mixing the mic-signal with the sampled one? i don't know if that would work with toms...
