apologies if this isn't the right forum for this but i'm having real problems using triggers live.
ok here's the background- our drummer is quite a consistent heavy hitter but we tend to use an alesis dm5 to get a clicky sound live which is mixed in with the mic'ed kick drum (ok not ideal due to the time delay), and it frequently misses hits. I've messed around with the sensitivity settings as much as possible but ive never been happy with it. live we have a ddrum trigger on the kick drum skin, which goes to the dm5 and then via a di to the desk. there isn't a great deal of padding in the drum as we still like some of the natural sound of the drum coming through.
Am I missing something? if anyone has ideas how to improve the set up or some links that would be much appreciated!
cheers
