Sure sounds like my problem, eh? Anyone have any experience with checking and setting this up properly in REAPER? So please take your time to get these mappings set up!" But keep in mind that if you do not map these channels, you will most likely only hear the output of one of the ambience microphones and it will sound really bad. We can't describe this step since it varies depending on your software. "NOTE: DrumGizmo uses several audio output channels, which should be mapped manually in your software, just like you would do with any other plugin. I think it must have something to do with the following, as noted in the README_VST.txt file which is part of the DrumGizmo ZIP: The thing I can't figure out with this plugin is that, although I am getting sound, it's extremely weak. I've set up my effects rack on the kick drum channel with the "JS: Audio To MIDI Drum Trigger" plugin feeding DrumGizmo, using the proper kick drum notes as mapped in each kit's MIDI map XML file. You're right, it looks like it would be a bit of a job to configure it to work with other samples, but at least there are 5 kits available on their web site: Thanks shosty, this is close to exactly what I'm looking for! The LV2 format seems to be becoming more and more popular these days and there are tons of other plugins out there, just do a bit of searching on Google. For example, if the kick drum track is lousy, set the gate to trigger on note 36 (kick drum).Ģ) Follow that with a good MIDI drum kit plugin (the ones above are excellent), and adjust things to taste. This comes in handy for drum replacement on unruly tracks that would require a lot of EQ, compression, etc., not to mention all of the tweaking involved, in order to come even close to the sound of good drum samples:ġ) Add the "JS: Audio To MIDI Drum Trigger" plugin (or your favorite gate plugin that has MIDI output capability). Using these and others, you can create sort of a "Poor Man's Drumagog". I miss being able to use these excellent LV2 drum kit plugins, that also come with Mixbus (which I've since abandoned in favor of REAPER): Hmmm can someone give examples of worthy plugins in this format?
