TD-20 cross stick/snare velocity
Hi all,
Hoping to glean a answer from anyone using the Td-20 as a trigger, in this case to Slate drums...problem is I've got a cross-stick intro-and throughout the song mixed with a snare hit and the stick is too LOUD!...is there a way to lower the velocity of JUST the cross-stick all AT ONCE...& not the snare?...Ive tried everything... -thx |
Re: TD-20 cross stick/snare velocity
Assuming the cross-stick shows as its own midi note value, open the Velocity lane. Click on the tiny keyboard(left side of the midi/instrument track) on the note that triggers the cross-stick. Doing that will highlight the velocity value(the tiny diamonds) for all the cross-stick hits. Drag any one of the little diamonds down and all will follow.
Alternately, open the Slate plugin mix window and adjust the cross-stick volume:o |

Albee thanks man! Problem is SSD4 doesn't include a cross stick channel, and if your compressing snare with verb etc. the cross stick gets the same treatment!
I got the velocity lower (thanks) Are you still using the TD's and have the same problem? -thx |
Re: TD-20 cross stick/snare velocity
I haven't used E-drums in a while. What about lowering the sensitivity on the rim trigger? One option you might not have considered; use a real snare drum:rolleyes: I got great results going hybrid with real snare, hat and sometimes all real cymbals(the overhead mics just added some "air" to the overall kit sound). You could also put up a mic and get one of those cross-stick blocks:o
One other option, if you print drums to audio(which I always did), I would add a blank audio track below the snare track, separate the cross-stick audio and drag it to its own track. That also allows for different EQ and reverb:-) |

Great, yeah I'll work on the trigger first...living arrangements prohibits live drums, but the cross stick block could work! ;) Thanks !

FWIW, I usually replace the cross stick sound. I bus and record the drums sounds as audio and then move the cross stick hits to a separate track and use Drumagog to play my own samples:o
