I would like to set up a kit with triggers that are accurate and reliable - does anyone have a suggestion? Also, since I am new to this area here is what I would like to do: Set up a kit put the triggers on the kit and record just the trigger impulses to Digital Performer - no audio samples at this point. Then take the impulses and trigger Drumagog or something.

hey everyone,
I'm new to Cubase and midi and trying to learn...

Heres the problem. I set a DM5 module up so that it records the midi data
into cubase.. Now i want to get better sounds than the gs wavetable thing has.

So do i need a vst plugin for drums for this? If so, can anyone recommend something good for metal/death metal drum sounds.

I need to get a trigger for using on the kick drum. There are quite a few different types & brands to choose from. Are there any that are better than others?
I will be connecting it to an Alesis DM Pro (simular to the DM5).
Cost is not a priority, I want the best one available.

OK, so I am starting my own little studio (really little) and I am looking for somewhat cheap ways to get a really clean really powerful sound. My friend said he recorded with a guy that uses a small pro tools set up and uses triggers for the bass drums and toms. I listend to the recording and holy sh*t was it good!

Hey ro'ers, I need some help. Does anyone know how I can set up my drum machine to trigger drums on reason? I have a Boss DR. 880 and I have it synced to Reason to where it controls playback, but I need some guidance in trying to get the DM (drum machine) to act as a triggering device. Is there anything that I would need to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im looking for any user out there that record the acoustic drum tracks,then use the sound from the recorded tracks to trigger the DM5anybody?
Does it work?-----how good?-----give me all the good and bad-----I need info!!

Can someone please explain or provide a link to ...

I need to know exactly what drum triggering is.. i have an idea.. but.

I know that triggering is MIDI --- I use midi alot...

but for instance.. i record LIVE drums.. as a whole session.. now i want to take these live drums and trigger them so i can further define the clearity and dynamics of the drums themselve..

is it possible to record drums with an mbox? i know that some sort of external i/o device would be required to have enough inputs for all the drums mics, since the mbox only has two, but is there a device that does this?

if this wouldnt work, is drum triggering an alternative? what equipment would i need to purchase to make this happen?

I was wanting to know about recording drum triggers.Our drummer uses them live and wants to use them for recording,he uses an Alesis DM5 unit triggered by Roland acoustic drum triggers.My problem is i dont kno what to record?Should i record the MIDI or the audio coming off the DM5.I am told that if i use the MIDI i can replace the little parts like triplets that sometimes dont trigger correctly

Do most rock/emo/pop punk albums use triggers as well as Micing the acoustic kit? I've been wondering this for a while, because I read about the production of the new Gatsby's American Dream CD, and on their last EP they said they didn't use triggers and the drum sound was disappointing, but on the new CD they did and it sounds great (they used triggers on their previous full length as well).
