Thanks.  I’ll take a look at that later.

I’ll give that a try Erik.  I was initially thinking that a simple velocity adjustment across the entire groove wouldn’t give me exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks all for the suggestions!

Hey Scott,

If you want to record kick and snare at the same time, you could record the bass with the lower part of the palm of your hand to get a nice thud, and the snare with your mouth (short ‘K’ sound) to make it easier for Superior to keep them apart. You could also tap the table with your finger nail for the snare, but that would still be difficult for the tracker to separate from the kicks.

What Rodney suggested was probably recording each instrument separately, which is how the tracker was designed to work. Or he could have mastered the highly guarded, long-forgotten hidden secrets of the finger drum and can simulate a drum set with only his fingers on a flat wooden plane.

I was thinking something similar, in regard to using 2 different sounds to distinguish between kick and snare.  I’ll have to try this.

I’m still curious how Rodney performs his finger drumming – with or without forgotten secrets!

 

Thanks!

One option is to use Tracker on SD3.

Record audio of you finger tapping/playing on your table top or chair or whatever surface comes to hand.

Load the audio up into tracker – audio to midi then select which instrument you want to replace your finger taps with.

It is better than playing with a pad as there is less latency and you can really get into the groove of a song.

When finger tapping the audio you just have to use your imagination, a bit like playing air guitar.

Kind regards

This seems like a great idea too.  However, when you tap the beat on your desk/table, are tapping a single instrument (kick or snare)?  It seems like if you tap a beat with kick and snare hits, you’d still have quite a bit of work to do in Tracker deciphering which hit is kick or snare.

Thanks

I have been considering the Presonus ATOM, as well.  The price is good, and all I really need is a good way to edit existing grooves, or write new ones.

I will try that.  I have both EZD2 and SD3, but usually work in EZD until a complete drum track is created.  I’m still not familiar with all of the tools in SD3 yet.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Interesting indeed, I don’t use Logic, however I use Pro Tools and same, I am not seeing this. However Studio One can use either VST or AU, so I will play around with it and see if the results are similar.

Did anything come of this?  I use Logic Pro X and am having problems importing the Tracker MIDI back into Logic.  I’m using SD3 v. 3.1.2.

So I could buy a serial number only, from a Toontrack dealer?

After I installed the latest update I also had to reauthorize. Same computer, but it wasn’t working with my first few attempts. I restarted my computer, still had to re-authorize, but this time it worked. I hadn’t added/changed anything to the computer or hardware.

That sounded great! I’ll check out your Myspace. Guitars sound like Mesa Mark series?

I agree with Markham. I bet EZ Mix is territory TT never thought they’d venture into. I’d much rather TT concentrate on the Superior/EZD lines and leave the amp sims to others. Like Markham said, “the market is pretty flooded…already.”

ORIGINAL: juicy

Yeah sounds like serious fun well done !
Out of interest whats next,
Do put vocals or make instrumentals from these pieces ?

Thanks for checking in. What’s next? Hopefully a final arrangement, including a full drum track, and then track guitars, bass and vocals.
