How to replace live kick drum track with samples

Post by Lelik69 »

I have a multitrack live recording. And there is some mic bleed on each track.
I'd like to use the kick drum track to trigger samples or anyway to replace the recording with some samples (for example using ezdrummer). Can you help me about this maybe suggesting some YouTube videos? Thanks a lot!

Most of the people I know who do this or similar sample substitution use either Drumagog or Slate Trigger.

Cant help you with the how to, I don't do that stuff.
Stay in tune, Mark

In addition to the two Mark mentioned, there's also SPL DrumXChanger from Plugin Alliance, and Addictive Trigger from XLN Audio. Google for reviews of all four products.

I haven't used any of these tools either and don't have a recommendation. When I read some reviews a couple of years ago, it looked like Slate Trigger would have been the best choice overall.

Thank you very much Mark and Richard! I didn't know those programs, and they are exactly what I was looking for.
For now I have downloaded only Drumagogo, and it's rather effective, but I think I'll try the others too.
