It will allow you to drag selections right from the Clips Pane. Also any .wav from Windows Explorer or the SONAR Browser.

Is there going to be a way to integrate a 3rd party drum instrument?
I've invested thousands of dollars in Superior Drummer and it's content.
I don't want to spend yet more money on drum packs from yet another vendor.

You can freeze a track playing the samples you want from your instrument of choice. Then select and drag them in.

Alternatively, you can drag an ARA clip to an instrument track and trigger the instrument with the resulting MIDI clip.

Are the samples included? I believe this is the first time I've seen Cakewalk release anything specific to Metal.

I don't think this is anything 'specific to Metal'
I don't think any samples will be included
 
of course I could be wrong :|

I don't know why I didn't get it the first time you explained it. Thanks for your patience in explaining it again and for getting back so promptly Bill.

It's a relatively useful tool, if you're recording live drummers.

As for the work flow I have been looking forward to this.
 
I dont have a drum set but I do have several things including a djembe blocks etc and have been thinking about getting a cajhon(sp).
 
What I am hoping is that I can bang out a beat with the feel I want and convert it to either the waves or to midi to use as input to Jamstix or Session Drummer etc. Then I could layer the various percussion instruments.
 
I'm hoping this will fit in the drum replacer workflow.
 

Couldn't you do this already with ARA integration of Melodyne?  Drag the audio clip to a MIDI track, and it will convert to MIDI?
 
Sorry if I misunderstand the issue..

This is a drum replacer.
In Melodyne if you're working with the audio of a drum track you can only edit the sample that's been played. This drum replacer will let you replace one drum sample with another. That's just that particular feature. It sounds a bit like Audio Snap on steroids.

What's next? BazzReplazer?

Tom Riggs
@ Mudgel its not really an issue as I have not tried to do it yet.
 
I believe you are right that with a bit of fiddling I could probably get the midi I would need to feed Jamstix.

Sorry Tom, I was replying to jb101. Got you caught in the middle because I grabbed the quote from your quote instead of direct from his post.

Only question I have is why? Plenty of tools already.

It seems to be a massive workflow speed up tool and perhaps more precise/dedicated/easier to use than Audiosnap or manually slicing and dicing.
 
Really there AREN'T that many tools. There are two tools (Audiosnap and ARA) and manual techniques but they are mostly confusing, cumbersome and time consuming. I'd have to see it in action but if I'm interpreting this correctly it will be an improvement.
 
Example... I've got a live drum track. Drummer flubbed a snare hit. I snag a hit from somewhere else in the track and slide it in replacing the flub. Of course I could do that using copy/pasta but then I gotta fiddle with it manually.
 
Creative possibility... I like my drum track but I want to twist it into an electronic mess for a few bars using samples (like an 808). I select the area and slide in the samples. Done. Otherwise I'd have to do a bunch of other bullpuckery to make that happen.
 
This has all been rather vague though. Waiting for a vid to show what it ACTUALLY does.
 
Edit: Just looking over that info again and really is difficult to figure out exactly what the heck this thing does or how it works. Seriously hope some more info is on the way soon. Ya'll just teasin' with that page!

This sounds fantastic. About 1,400 years ago, we replaced drum tracks with trigger inputs on the back of a Linn Drummer Computer (LM-1) and later a Linn Drum.  This new product is something that could really save a record (or an engineer).  Thanks!

I was reading a comparison of Drumagog and Trigger 2? (I think it was called Trigger 2). Either  or both of them said it could use drums from any drum program like EDrummer SD2 ADD2 and others to replace drums in a recorded drum track where there is too much bleed or other problems.
I hope it will be simple, easy to use, and able to use any drum sample available. I imagine it will be.
Workflow, it matters.

I have never used Drumagog but Trigger and Tigger 2 can only use Slate Samples. You can export midi to trigger (pun intended) other programs. Bleed has never been a problem and it's pretty intuitive. I am looking forward to Cake's release.

That's not true because Slate also released an editor that allows you to user your own samples.

My question too, will this be an upgrade in Sonar Platinum as a free download, or will this cost the Sonar Platinum users some $$.
