Absolutely! That’s one of the best. Can’t got wrong with an SSL gate really. I also use that a lot too

Nice one mate, thanks for watching!

Great speakers!

Good to hear! I’m not sure actually, I think you can. If experiment and see how it sounds!

That makes sense!

You’re welcome, glad it helped!

Nice one, glad it helped you!

Haha! Glad it helped you out - thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Any samples you like! Whether that be WAVs or TCI’s. Here’s a video about the difference between one-shots and TCIs which might be useful ONE-SHOT VS TCI’s - What’s the difference and where/when to use them! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH63iq2Iftt3nNE

You know what, that’s something I’ve been casually working on for a while. I think you need to set it up with use of automation and MIDI, but can be software-dependent. I managed to get Logic to do it at one point - albeit a little clunky - but haven’t managed to do it in Pro Tools, which is where I use it most as I mix with it. Which DAW are you using?

@@JamesArterMusic I actually had it setup via the X-Touch which worked really well then I moved house and can't seem to manage to get it going again, very annoying! Managed to map it to my Arturia midi keyboard so works for now but thinking I might get a Nanopad or some sort of dedicated midi thing to control as it's so so useful. Pro Tools I have limited experience in im afraid so im not much help!

Fair play. I considered something like a nanopad for the same reason. How did you go about setting it up on your x-touch?

What do you mean?

@@JamesArterMusic I mean if you want the performer to hear the effects, tracking is great but using the monitoring button will do the same for you. So unless you really want to print, you can use that.

Gotcha! I actually mention that towards the end of the video - around 11:16 - as it’s a great feature, but thanks! I tend to always commit as it just happens to be the way I work. Thanks a lot for checking the video out!

@@JamesArterMusic Ah! I’m very bad in watching videos till the end 🙃

Hahaha me too! All good mate 🙂

boss pedals have a buffer, which means they don't fully bypass when turned off. to answer your question: you can do it both ways but turning it off makes the pedal not apply any effects!!! on a note: don't recommend using distortion pedals since they can add a bit of residual distortion

It looks like it’s already been answered (thanks!), but yes, it’s in bypass so not stomped on!

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Afraid not, this is designed for use on a computer really. I guess the way to make it work with an amp, would be to send the signal out of your interface, through a reamp box, and into the FC Return section of your amp (if you have it); that would bypass the power amp and get you closest to the sound of the software. But, like I mentioned mentioned, it’s not really designed for that unfortunately!

That is lovely to hear, thanks a lot. Really glad it was useful and you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

Solid tutorial here, the Sonic Academy people are taking the piss trying to sell a course on it for £18

Thanks for watching! What have you got on your mix bus?

I’m not sure I follow what you mean?

That’s great to hear - thanks for watching!

it is now

Thanks for watching!

If I remember correctly, this should be the same process for transferring to Cubase

You’re welcome!

I don’t use Reaper but I think the process should pretty much be the same!

Yes, absolutely! The only reason I didn’t have a preamp in the unison slot is because I was tracking with a hardware API preamp, otherwise I’d have done exactly that. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

You’re welcome - glad you liked it!

That it helped!

You do the same thing but when it’s copying over the plugin the plugin you’re copying over will highlight blue around the edges, instead of just above/below it.

That’s strange! Which DAW are you using? And are you dragging it to a MIDI track?

You’re welcome - thanks for watching!

There are so many things that I do and forget! If you’re not doing some tasks frequently they don’t always stick - very annoying! Hope this helped 👍

Of course! Once you’ve done the MIDI capture, you can just use that to play back any software instrument. Just set the correct MIDI note for each kit piece before the capture (although you can still adjust afterwards in the MIDI file if you need to). Depending on which DAW you’re using, you’ll be able to playback from the MIDI chance on put it on an instrument channel. You can just copy and paste the MIDI notes from each kit piece onto the same MIDI channel. Make sense?

Oh man this is mind blowing! Ok so I can have kick, snare, and toms (5 tracks total) all on separate tracks that were recorded live, then insert trigger 2 on each individual tracks to capature midi, then assign the midi notes to the notes to “one of the drum kits” on one instrument track with superior drummer 3 inserted. In other words, can it be done with superior on one instrument track and all 5 tracks be midi routed with the proper midi numbers all routed to a that single instrument track or do I need to have 5 instrument tracks with superior on each of the tracks? I will be experimenting tomorrow to try to figure this out for this is all new to me. I I cant thank you enough for getting back to my post!

Yeah, you got it. Superior drummer basically just wants a MIDI track (or instrumental track) to play it back, Trigger is just creating that for you, albeit on separate tracks. Just copy the data from each one over to one MIDI or instrument track, and that’s what you’re using for SD. Let me know how you get on!

Hey James, I was able to merge the separate drum tracks into one instrument track! And was able to map the midi to the correct midi notes for the individual drums, however there are apparently more than one midi note assigned to to each drum. Example there are many for the snare like Center (this what I set the number) then there is rim, sidestick etc midi notes which I didn't set because I don't think the sample has all that information. So I just set them to center and I get the sound but don't know what to set the other numbers to or even if I can. What do you think? Thanks again-James!!

Is this in Superior Drummer? I think so. Just set to centre, that’s the main hit. The other ones are different articulations. For example, you can switch the note to that articulation if you want it to play that back, otherwise, just leave it on Centre

My go-to sample pack is this one - it’s basically got so much of what you need! www.hitkitsamples.com/ But I’m sure you could find similar samples in Logic - there’s a huge amount already included!

You’re welcome - I’m glad it’s helped! I’ve done a video on VocAlign Project, but haven’t used the Ultra version so can’t help you there just yet!

@@JamesArterMusic Thanks ! 🥰

Thanks! It’s on sale at the moment in case you wanted to grab a bargain 🙂

That’s interesting to hear! And good to know a cheap amp did a good job. Yep, it’s definitely interesting seeing how the amp can affect the sound so much, and an important thing to know. Thanks for watching!

That’s Slate SSD5.5

Thanks a lot! Make sure you check out the full video on my channel, if you haven’t already 🙂

@@JamesArterMusic I watched the full video! It makes so much sense!

Thanks for watching!

That works too!

Thanks for watching, I'm glad it helped! A few people have asked me the same question, so I just recorded a video for you. Follow the link below or check it out on my channel. Hope that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoPHf3mqj7aUfas

@@JamesArterMusic appreciate the reply, but I got it figured out. The issue was only regarding the specific note settings for midi In on trigger, setting up trigger on the new Midi track instead of sending to through the aux, and disabling the L/R pre fader sends of the snare and click tracks.

Ahh man, the Astoria will always hold a special place in my heart - so many gigs and wonderful times! Yep, sadly, another venue savagely culled. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot!
