Simple Drum Replacement by James Bernard

“Bro… that snare drum track we recorded last night sounds weak.. I wish we could replace it with this fat snare sample…” In this weeks episode I show how to achieve drum replacement using the cv out of audio drum tracks to trigger sampled drum parts.

Advanced Drum Replacement by James Bernard

In a follow-up to week 8′s tip on “Simple Drum Replacement,” James shows us a way to do more advanced drum replacement that allows for velocity and timbre changes in drum sounds. The result is a very realistic drum track containing many of the subtle variants that give live drums their sound.

Drum Replacement in Record by Psavolai

Suppose that you have natural drums and they just don’t sound good. In pro Tools I would use DrumReplacer , but since we are in Record now let’s do it differently.

  1. Split your drum signal (BD, snare) with Splitter.
  2. Route one half of the splitted signal to mixer (the original sound)
  3. Use Master Class Compressor to set a nice compressing envelope .
  4. Setup a NN19 with one drum sample and turn KeyFollow off.
  5. Route the “Gain reduction CV Out” to the Gate input of your NN19.

And voila, here you have it. The original and the triggered one, just mix them nicely. Tweak the compressor to get rid of double triggering and other nasties. a sample project here: http://www.wainotar.com/siirto/drumreplace.zip
