Tubbys Tip #1492-11B

Regardless of how good a session drummer is or how good his tracking capture was,...eight out of ten times I will use Sound Replacer or a similar plug in, to surgically replace the snare with my saved dry samples. Always fine tune it to get it to fire still like a human...Check that Bob Marley dub...Roots Radics and Wailers..Compare to the original..From the same masters..

Excellent!

I bet your drum samples are nothing but the very best. If anyone is looking for a free drum replacer to do the same thing, check out this KVR thread:

It is indeed an elegant technique. Replacing the drums gives a lot more flexibility for the dub process. The nice thing about some of these plugins is that you can give a ratio for the dynamics you want to retain in the track, when using your replacement samples. I would say you need to know your gates and compressors (of course you do interruptor, but just as a general tip). Thano is my a/c on KVR.

If you have the individual drum tracks you can also create midi from audio in some DAWS.

It's funny, because on this video I found recently:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GvhMHJKJvM

Scientist explain how it's hard to record drum, and you see it using duct tape to optimize snare sound...

It's a bit ridiculous to care so much about snare sound just to replace it after (even If I know it's widely used technics in all studio today).

Perhaps it's ease the replacement process ?

.... for me it look better to use midi-trigger directly on the drum, and to not even record the audio...

Just my 2 cents

Woow, just watched the video with Scientist mixing Marley....

Drum definitely sounds better after Scientist madness

sorry but to me the snare sounds unnatural, somehow not fitting
