Changing kick/snare with Drumtracker for DVD

[vovchik05]

Hi, everybody)
Here i want to share how easy you can make your drums sound much better on bands promo video/dvd/live.
When we played our show, where we decided to record all live tracking for promo DVD, we faced big problem with sound quality of kick and snare. So we used Drumtracker to changed kick. And we also changed basic snare hits, except fills that we wanted to stay natural) And we were really happy with the result, thanx to the folks at Toontrack!
Check this videos to hear Drumtracker work with kick/snare sample from Superior 2.0.
Hope it will help you too))

HOLY CRAP!  That video work is BEYOND EXCELLENT man!!!!!
 
Sorry for the stupid a** questions I’m about to ask….
 
You recorded the audio through the board how?  Software…. like Protools… Sonar?
You had seperate drum tracks…. so you could use drumtracker?
 
Sounded AWESOME man!  GREAT WORK!!!!!!

Thanx, man)
We’ve got lap top with sound card that had number of inputs we wanted) We recorded using Cubase, as i remember. Finally we had separate drum, guitar, vocal, keys tracks. But kick and snare tracks sounded too bad) We wanted to save drummers dynamic and ghost notes and we used drumtracker. This was really easy) Everything i had to do was to import midi signal to DAW and use Superior kicks and snares)))
