Are there some gaians who do this as a job or just for hobby? I do, and I also record songs... so if there is someone who want to give me some advice I'd be glad to post some stuff and let you judge me! eek
Hello! I'm a trainee recording engineer in London, on my industrial year at university. I actually just set up a guild for people like us:

Hi Jordamn, what's your best method in recording drums? Do you use triggers after you have recorded?

I usually stack a sample under the kick for added tightness and low end, but that's all. And not with an actual trigger like the kind you clip on. I tried that once and it sucked. I do it with a tool in my daw that makes a MIDI track from an audio region when I go to mix, after I've already comped and timed everything.

Good to know. I'd not heard of this Glyn Johns technique. Anyway, I did the same for triggering using the midi track. In Logic Pro 9 when you set the transient in the audio region, then you can automatically create the midi region for it. I used to select all the events and then use same velocity for the entire song with a good kick/snare sound. I'm talking about rock songs with a "radio-style" production. Here is one of my best jobs:

Let me know what do you think. Recorded with a €300,000 drum kit. Triggered. razz

I don't have time to really listen too critically at the moment, but what I heard sounds good. Really grungy, but I think that was the goal. Sample replacing drums works well for heavy genres, but it doesn't work for all styles. Like it would sound cheap on blues or country. Nashville drummers would kill you if you replaced their drums, haha. I myself prefer the sound of a live kit (or at least half live kit with layers) on heavy music too because I feel like it gives the mix more uniqueness, but that's a personal preference. This doesn't sound all that "radio" to me, though. We don't have a station that plays music like that. This is more what I think of when I think of radio rock. Wait, are you saying you replaced a €300,000 drum kit, or you replaced a cheap drum kit with samples of a €300,000 drum kit? And what drum kit is €300,000?? You can get a great kit for under $10,000.

No no I meant €300,00. LOL! Excuse me, that one more zero was my fault. I triggered a cheap €300,00 drum kit.
Anyway, yeah, I called it "radio sound" or whatever just to give you the idea. I've tried BFD2 (cracked) but I don't like it. Togheter with an old friend I bought the Steven Slate drum samles, so I'm using those, but for the song I linked (Babyloon) I used on snare a sample taken from Logic Pro 9 library... and for the kick... I personally sampled the drum kick sound from the song Your Decision (Alice in Chains). eek

I'm a sound engineer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and composer. I'm going to school for music and sound engineering right now, while I'm also juggling a luthier internship. When life gives you the ability and opportunity to jump into music; jump into the deep end.
