drum triggers??
 

Are triggers good to use for the studio?? Can you still control the balance and level of each individual peace like recording the snare, kick, ect and having seperate tracks for each?? Let me know please!~!~ Much appreciated!~

I use a Roland TD10 module with PD120 snare, KD120 kick and PD9's & PD7's for toms and cymbals. It works great. If all you need is MIDI, any one of the lower end Roland kits will do fine. They all will provide all the MIDI info you need to record. The advantage of the TD10 is the 8 outputs as I am using the onboard sounds. Once I get the MIDI track edited to my liking, I let it "play" the kit while I record 8 tracks. I end up with mono tracks for kick, snare, hat, ride, crash 1, crash 2. I record the toms to a stereo track. Go here music and click on Believe.mp3 to have a listen to the results.

Thanks for the kind words. I have better examples but none are uploaded. Amazing what some plugins will do with a V-kit.

don't skimp and buy cheap triggers though. At a minimum, get the ddrum redshot, better yet, get the better ddrum triggers. don't buy the cheap button triggers, its a waste of time (i.e., you get what you pay for.). I unfortunately speak from experience...
