Hello. I'm new here, and I have an issue I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. See, I've been doing my own recording for years, and I recently/finally set up a Pro Tools Rig, running PT LE 8, with a Digi 002 interface. I have a question that I'm hoping that maybe you can help me out with since you use some of the same gear.
I'm triggering acoustic drums. I have DDrum pro triggers, going into a Behringer ADA8000, adat out into the Digi 002. Triggering software is Drumagog 4. I'm having trouble with consistency of the trigger signals. Obviously the drummer doesn't hit each drum with exactly the same velocity, so some of the triggered "Signal" is lower than others. When I adjust the sensitivity, to be able to pick up the "quieter" hits form the triggers, it takes the "smack" out of the drums. Particularly the snare. This also happens if I have the gain on the ADA8000 set lower. But if I set it higher, and the trigger signal clips.
Question is, how should I set up the triggers best for recording? How hot should the signal be from the triggers into the ada8000? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx.
