Trigger 2 (Steven Slate) - Free Plugin in REAPER

[@marijandesin8226]

I had no idea there was a free version of Trigger How reassuring that anywhere you go no matter the situation you can always download Trigger and save the mix with these amazing samples Thank you

[@djabthrash]

same haha

[@pvalenti]

Been using Trigger 2 for a few years now. If I don't do the recording, or don't have what I need Trigger 2 is the best, most efficient for workflow option and my go-to.

[@hostile177]

Best tutorial on Trigger 2 I've seen so far. I just got the paid version free bundled with SSD 5.5.

[@EyeOfThe_God]

such a good drums sound

[@DThompson55]

I love this series Kenny. It inspired me to start working on techniques that let me import a drum loop, split it into individual hits, and replace the original sounds with my sample library of hits.

[@cupboardhomestudio971]

Good morning Kenny and thank you 🎼👍🏽

[@hyperactivists9390]

youre a fantastic teacher. the pauses in your speaking give me time to absorb what you say.

[@southsideronnie]

Really made the drums pop! Thanks Kenny!!

[@QBtracksandstuff]

I've been using Trigger for a while now and it's so useful. Great video as always Kenny 👍😀

[@mcpribs]

What a great sounding, catchy track!

[@dominique948]

Thank you Kenny !

[@davidsutherland5614]

Another great vid thanks Kenny. I often recommend Reaper to other amateur producers and I also add " ... plus there's these great videos by this guy ..."

[@djabthrash]

haha same

[@KieseMusic]

Great as always, but what I was missing in the last videos and not quite clear here is if theres a velocity sensitivity, there might be songs where all is fine with one sample, but other will need more dynamics in the drums,and that would be great!

[@SaintLuminus]

Yes there is velocity sensitivity. You can adjust how sensitive in the plugin but right off the bat softer snare hits trigger a different sample than harder snare hits. Its pretty good.

[@gatherstudio5219]

I have been using trigger 2 for awhile and absolutely love it , and still found this video useful ! Thanks Kenny! I would love to be able to get a snare sound as good as the original on that track . Also would love to know who the artist was? cool song

[@sssyntax]

That was one if the best video intros I've seen. Your video are really good.

[@marc-andrebeaudet6040]

You could also use the drag midi option to just use trigger's midi triggering, and then use whatever samples you want with a sampler like you did previously, but now you have velocity that also got tracked.

[@REAPERMania]

The drag midi option doesn't work on the free version. Right?

[@marc-andrebeaudet1124]

@@REAPERMania oh you might be right; i have the full version, but saw the option is there in the video, don’t know if it’s blocked out. It probably is though

[@REAPERMania]

@@marc-andrebeaudet1124 Yeah. It's greyed out.

[@mikeblack622]

Ace! As ever. Thanks.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

This is almost what I'm looking for… Does the paid for version include multi samples for different velocities (very important for me!)?

[@djabthrash]

YES It only comes with multi samples for different velocities actually :) They are TCI files (you can also make your own btw), which are a Slate thing. You load the "sound" and it is a multi sample/multivel thing already, just like on your favourite Drums VSTi (Superior Drummer, GGD, ...). No one-shot samples here ! The samples that come with the free version are also TCI files actually. You can see that in the video at 02:26 (in the browser in loads up .tci files). The paid version comes with WAY MORE samples (like a shit ton), and also extra features like the instrument editor, which allows you to do your own tci files for trigger 2 (which means your own drum sample library, compatible with trigger 2).

[@BeesWaxMinder]

@@djabthrash thank you so much! I've got such a convoluted set up, myself and I don't know whether it's worth worth the investment to change it's because I don't know whether it will make workflow easier at the expense of sound? I often ask for advice on many forums but its difficult to explain to people what I'm trying to achieve!

[@djabthrash]

@@BeesWaxMinder You're welcome ! My general advice would be to learn to get the most of what you already have before trying out (free or paid versions of) new stuff.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

@@djabthrash AMEN!😉

[@lbird2]

I'll stick with Sitala that allows you to use your own samples. Interface is very similar.

[@djabthrash]

With the paid version with its instrument editor you can make your own samples.

[@woodciaran]

Cool I was only searching for a trigger 2 tutorial from you last week. Read my thoughts!

[@joeyskar]

Kenny, I have a song that I want you to master for a reaper tutorial, can I send the project's zip file?

[@diostaylow]

can i use 3rd party drum samples on this free version of trigger 2? thanks!

[@sisikamar]

Can I use a sample pack other than Steven Slate Audio in this free version?

[@sbrave]

Is this the same Kenny that used to do the drum replacing videos for Pro Tools/Beat Detective way back? Still using that workflow today, but ready to buy Trigger 2! Is that free version only good for Reaper?

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

Great, I have a lot of TCI files stored on my server, I downloaded them 2 years ago, I didn't know what to do with them, I didn't have an idea, where I had it from, from Slate of course. In the past there were a lot of free library's. What I miss here is a BPM counter. Would be convenient. Or i missed it in the review and video. BTW are those samples from CLA? They sound like it?

[@djabthrash]

"What I miss here is a BPM counter" What do you mean exactly by that and what for ? You have the BPM displayed in the transport bar of Reaper already, and you can activate the metronome.

[@agus.leonardi]

one of the best video, thx kenny

[@giovannispinotti]

Can this load your own samples?

[@mattcash1165]

So should compression be applied before or after adding the trigger

[@REAPERMania]

If you're trying to compress these samples it should go after the trigger 2 plugin.

[@kurtcabling4482]

Hello,I downloaded trigger 2 free but there's no sound in the track when active.

[@alejandrojerezrico3007]

Once i've created my account, don't find the passcode needed to download it in the steven slate website and neither in my emails

[@dondivin8546]

It needs you to insist on trying until they send 😂; I tried almost 7 times and they finally sent me a link in my mailbox I typed on the link and downloaded trigger 2 for free 🎉

[@BRTTV12]

Can you create your own TCI files?

[@djabthrash]

Not with the free version.

[@troymosher4877]

It's so unperturbed how they have hoofed up these videos. I observed a quantity of the senior ones like 7 years heretofore and kind of shirked about it for a stretch. These exist seriously kick-ass tutorials. I correspondingly harbour some fun with my thesaurus with this post. Relish!

[@franlopez2000]

Reasons not to use this option? Differences? i don't understand very well why the Reagate option isn¡t recommended. Video doing similar thing with Reaper Reagate kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHS3qqh_jtitfdU

[@djabthrash]

The Reagate/Reasamplomatic 5000 method is not as efficient and simple, and Trigger 2 comes with free multivelocity samples.

[@HeartlessTheRabbit]

Everyday that passes the reaper calls my name as my cakewalk lays on life support....How did i get here man?

[@Daysofsamara]

Sorry Kenny, but it's a no on this one. Trigger is made to be use on an stereo aux tracks where signal you want to trig send on the left (channel 1) and signal you want to reject on right channel 2) Then use the "suppress" button to reject what you don't want Example for snare triggering Send your top snare track to the left channel of trigger track and send kick and toms tracks to the right channel. Place suppress to 75 to 100 percent and now, the kick and toms will be ignored by the triggering even with low treshold and high sens...

[@BeesWaxMinder]

Do you know of a cheap(free?) way to load multi samples that can be triggered via velocity for drone replacement, please?

[@tomodowd3242]

I get your point , but from using this I only found I needed to use this method if I had to much bleed in my tracks , sometimes some light snare hits can be the same the volume as the kick drum bleed on that mic , the way you explained here is ideal To make sure you don’t trigger any bleed hits by accident , otherwise the way Kenny used it here is perfect and it’s works most of the time!
