I am working on a recording project and just cant get a couple of drums (live drums) to sound right. thinking of using drum replacement software. I do have BFD2 which has increadable samples. Never have replaced real drums with samples. I don't want to spend another $300 on this either. What options fo I have?

There is a 100 dollar version of trigger from steven slate. Cheapest I can think of. You can use the hit detection in Sonar to generate midi from the seperate drum tracks and then feed BFD. Toontrack's Drumtracker is an option too.

Slate Digital Trigger rocks for easy, great sounding drum replacement. There is a cakewalk video on drum replacement using audio snap. You create midi from the hits using audio snap and route the midi track to BFD. Either way is effective but Slate Trigger is less work.  I hope this helps.

Yeah, man check out the Drum Production webinar. If the drum tracks are isolated just following what they did should make it pretty easy to swap things out.

Convert your audio drum tracks to midi then add the drum sounds you want. Works good for me when doing it andits all SONAR Stuff  ;)

Are all your components recorded on seperate tracks?  (Kick, snare, etc...)
If so shouldnt take but a very short time to do.

when I check out a thread with a question, I always look at the already existing answers to be sure not just  to repeat what's already been said.

no offence, but.. ..am I the only one doing this..?

I almost always replace my audio kick drum with MIDI, Audio snap is straight forward for this. Once you have your MIDI track you can easily edit and delete false triggers. CLeans it right up. Then I just fire up a few drum VST's until I find the one I like. Believe it or not , I've been using a modified Kick from TTS-1 lately.
