you could find easier example!!!

[almightytreegod]

This program works great for isolated drums, but is a pretty big pain in the ass when it comes to pre-mixed recordings (like the first example)... it might be better if you were doing linear drumming, but if not, try to get isolated samples and the program can pick them out much easier.

Either that, or someone please tell me what I might be doing wrong?

and not having a good enough recording is BARELY an excuse... if that were the case I wouldn't even use drum replacement...

[almightytreegod]

@PitchWheel It depends... depending where your mics are set up it can be tricky. I've tried it with a stereo track that was pre-mixed, and it's a pain. Mostly it will pick up snare and kick pretty well, because you can set a frequency range and volume range. However, it's a lot easier if you have a multitrack drum recording where the drums are isolated, therefore you only have to rely on the volume range... find out what pitch each drum is and check the settings and it should be a LITTLE better

@PitchWheel No man, you set a peak threshold and anything above that it detects, so like if you got a snare track, you tell it how low the quietest hits you wanna detect are and it then counts anything louder than that as a hit. Admittedly this works better with a multitrack demo where all the drum parts have their own track.

2 much shit for me :S

[altermann1ify]

I feel like a complete and utter noob! I thought this was FOR making drumming sounds; I didn't know you actually had TO already have the drums. Boy am I stupid! lol

[PitchWheel]

I'm looking for a way to transform a audio drum track into MIDI. I tried this one and it seems that I have to manually detect EACH SINGLE note of the drum track, and all that the software will do is put a MIDI note corresponding to the peak I detected. What's the use for??? Aren't they able to make a software that automatically recognizes beats?

In this way this software is completely useless.

[grindcore91]

how do you get example drums in the demo?? it doesnt work in demo version.

[GuitarLucius]

I should have bought this when it was cheap!

[micdim1]

I've tried the demo and it works just fine. It's very easy. I think anyone here that says it's too hard to learn is just plain impatient. Any software has a learning curve, but this one is a no brainer if you just watch Toontracks tutorials. Once you use it and understand it's easy interface you'll love it. Oh yeah and a $20 special (regular price $149., you can't go wrong period
