Subject: RE: [LUG] [GEN] Replacing audio drums (was: mda BeatBox plugin in v4.7)

Drumagog did indeed perform very well in replacing the hits in audio drum tracks with samples of my choice. It was a little unstable in 4.7 but better in 4.8. Not the most efficient plug I've used but the results were good. Didn't try all the features (such as ducking and "stealth mode"). The BeatBox has a more lightweight feel about it, and has the advantage of being able to play a kit of 3 drum samples at once, but it wouldn't track a rapid succession of hits in a drum roll anything like as well as Drumagog did, unless I used the hihat channel, but then I couldn't load a snare drum sample into this channel properly, I guess they've limited the sample size for hihats. Both plugs can reflect the dynamics of the original audio - this can be varied from 0 to 100% in BeatBox; with Drumagog it's either on or off, but it will play dynamic multi-samples. Does anybody know of anything that can create a MIDI file from the audio? All I need is to capture the timing of the audio drum hits. I know that higher versions of Logic have the Groove Template feature which is said to do audio-to-MIDI, but AFAIK that only generates a quantize template which then has to be applied to an existing MIDI track. Hard to see how that could help with a snare roll or a fill. Cheers, Andy
