Default Slate Trigger 2 - from a stereo drum kit mixdown?

So, i'm trying to figure out if Trigger 2 would be of any use on a session that just has a stereo drum mix, no individual tracks for each drum. Would it be able to pick out individual drums and trigger with them?

No.. It relies on audio levels and transients to trigger the sounds.
You might just be able to get the kick by low passing the incoming sounds and letting only the kick filter through.
Everthing else will be really difficult to isolate..

Now we didn't say that trigger wasn't great....b/c it is....I love it.

I just got the CLA expansion for $65


But it would have helped in the Situation you described

While it would be a ton of work, there are some things that can be done to "spruce up" a poor sounding drum track(I had to do this on a project a while ago and had really good results). I created a batch of blank audio tracks below my stereo drums(which I split to 2 mono tracks). I labelled them for kick, tom 1, tom 2 and tom 3(snare and cymbals sounded okay). Using Tab to Transient, I found kick hits and grabbed just the smallest clip and did a Copy>Paste onto the new Kick track. Repeat the same for the toms(thankfully it was a fairly sparse drum track. Once I had my new tracks with tiny snippets, I inserted Drumagog(any drum replacement plugin works) and added in samples to augment the weak original drums. a lot of work? You bet, but a really happy customer is a return customer

You for sure can do as Dave has suggested. Just be careful with tab to transient as it often times doesn't find the actual transient. It has a habit of being a tad random at times. It's even a bit more work but it is worth it to visually check every transient point. You can also do the same thing with Massey's DRT by getting it to pick the transients and then visually adjusting the ones you want to keep and eliminating the ones you don't need. You can then use the plugin to render those transient points to audio. This obviously needs to be repeated with every required drum. It's a lot of work but it does work and, as has been said, the client will love it.

+2 for Dave's suggestion, I've done this before a few times (using Trigger here) and it always turns out stellar, the clients love it!
