Drum replacement/trigger and samples

[markkittus]

Hi.

I bought pro tools 11 two days ago.
I use to program drums with samples and do drum replacement, but I found that Pro Tools 11 didn't came with Sound Replacer, the only Sampler is Structure Free which doesn't allow me multiout, etc...

So, my questions are:
1.Is there any sampler which I ommited?
2.In case not, is there any AAX free/cheap sampler?
3.Is there any AAX sound replacer plugin not costing 300$ as sound replacer(I can't understand that a plugin that came with PT8 now costs 300$...), or any alternative?

Thanks!

No, I don't think you omitted any plug-in from PT. If drum replacement is your primary goal, something like Slate Digital Trigger is a nice program for that kind of work. I'm not sure at what level you are performing, but Slate offers both basic and full versions; both being under your $300 price point.

As far as i remember was Sound Replacer never a stock plugin of PT.

Sound Replacer has always been a separate license.

As far as free samplers, I believe the free UVI workstation lets you create your own patches. If you're looking for drums, BFD Eco is on sale right now for $29, but I don't think it has an AAX version yet.

There are quite a few sound replacement plug-ins. I recently shelled out for Drumagog 5 Pro, myself. All prices are member price at AudioDeluxe, unless otherwise noted:

• Slate Trigger (EX version $67, Platinum version $109)
• SPL DrumXchanger ($149)
• Drumagog 5 (Platinum version $290, Pro version $219) (Basic version $89 at Drumagog.com)
• use Pro Tools 10 and Massey DRT (demo works for free, $96 at Masseyplugins.com gets you full version with more features), then you can use the DRT-generated MIDI files in PT10 or 11 to trigger any software instrument you like.
