Hello i need some advice on how i go about having the kick drum be the key for a noise generator to open the gate adding the noise generator as a layer to the kick drum,

Hello!

I'll consider investment in a multi-channel compressor/gate system. What comes to mind is the PreSonus ACP88 : http://www.PreSonus.com/acp88.html

Since I have no pressing hurry for the same, I'll hold on if there are better products that will be worth investing in. Im looking at both Studio and Live use.

I would like some opinion on what plugins are the best that suites vst, meaning, I have all the wave plugins but I only use the q10, which I think it is not bad, LinMB which squashes the creap out of things, L2 which is great for rms peak, but if anyone has any other thoughts on other plugins that work better I am open to suggestions.

Thank you very much.

What exactly are they and what should I look for?

Sorry to double post, but if you have OSX Tiger, you can set up an aggregated device with the Audio MIDI Set Up app. This would allow you to connect multiple interfaces (allows for a LOT of I/O) to your computer, and have them appear as one uber-interface to your DAW. I don't know if that has any relevance to your situation but I figured I'd throw it out there for you just in case.

I'm wondering about an inexpensive gate - what might be recomended that won't interfere with the signal path once opened.

Hello,
I'm currently Running Mac OS 10.3.9 with DP 4.0
MOTU 828, 896 and two Alesis AI-3 for 32 inputs/outputs

I want to switch over to Logic Pro
yet i'm fearful of upgrading to OS 10.4

the problem is concerning agregate devices
simply put: will logic pro supported multiple hardware devices regardless of what verison of OS X?

... for successful drum editing in the box.
any recommendations from the DAW-pros?

I have six mics on drums in PTLE. I use the expander/gate plugin on each track except the two cond overheads to narrow down just the snare or kick or toms, etc. First, off is that what most of you pro's do to get that separation?

is their anyway i can trigger a gate plugin with a midi note or drum trigger? do any plugins support that type of thing?
