I used to be against the acoustic triggers you're describing, putting triggers on your real acoustic drums to trigger processed sounds. I've completely changed my mind about them though. Your live audiences expect to see real drums. They will never be satisfied by Simmons hexagon pads, modern circular frisbee pads, or any other kind of pads. Don't even get into the lack of stage appeal of showing up with a drum machine or a laptop. No matter how electronic and processed the drum sound they're hearing, they absolutely believe and expect it has to come from something that looks like an acoustic drumset. So I'm a believer now. Just give them the damned drumset they expect to see. If you put acoustic triggers on, at least you're honestly playing what they're hearing, even if the sound isn't quite being made the way they think it is. I really think this is the way to handle electronic drum sounds live now. -- - Brent Busby + =============================================== + With the rise of social networking -- Studio -- + sites, computers are making people -- Amadeus -- + easier to use every day. ----------------+ =============================================== _______________________________________________ Ardour-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change your mailing preferences please visit: http://lists.ardour.org/listinfo.cgi/ardour-users-ardour.org
