Noel's comment about "misusing it", is what has my imagination at the moment.

I agree. That gets my juices flowing.

These tools don't replace drummers. They do make dodgy drum recording methods more viable, though.
 
Not being snooty there; I expect I'll use it a lot.




Been joking earlier ...
 
I also expect to use it a lot - and probably abuse it more than use it
 
Maybe this thing turns my drumming skills into something useable ;-) No more rudiments!

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.




I found a couple of videos, I don't know how I missed this one. I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up!

Who's gonna look after all the girls that always fancied the drummers?"

By default that would be the bass players, then rhythm guitar. Front men and lead guitar can split the rest.




There's a chart for this.

Hey guys,
 
I thought I'd 'leak' a few rough sound examples to demonstrate some of the stuff this thing can do. Pardon the "quality." Made these at the kitchen table through laptop speakers :\
 
This is one of the primary workflows. Replacing individual hits in a loop:

This one is an example of creating drums to accompany guitar. It's a fingerpicked pattern. I made the loudest low frequency notes play a kick, and make the snare respond to everything possible to get a rhythmic feel. This approach works well with bongos, etc. also.

Here's another non-drums example. I grabbed a bunch of sounds from an electronic loop library and set them to trigger based on different notes. The loudest low freq notes trigger a long sample; the other notes trigger an electronic kick.

How cool.
This is going to be a fun tool to tinker with.
Your examples just show the possibilities are only bound by imagination.

Hi Bill,
 
Your example #2 has me very interested.  I didn't think that I would use this but you have opened a new door for me!  Thanx!

Bill Jackson [Cakewalk]
Yeah. It's not a perfect science. But you can get some very fun and useful results on non-drums with some experimenting and creativity.

Example #2 is what I used to do with my Roland Guitar synth many, many years ago. Fun stuff.
 
Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to try this new feature out! :-)
