Invisible Drums – Drumagog’s Real-Time Capabilities
An concealed drumset was utilised to demostrate Drumagog’s real-time capabilities. Microphones were spinous at both knees, the floor, and a shoulder. Each mike was adjoining to an interface, which was adjoining to a machine streaming Ableton Live. Each mike was appointed to a road in Live, with an happening of Drumagog on apiece track. Each Drumagog had an pertinent distribution (kick, snare, hihat, cymbal), and played samples in real-time when the mike perceived apiece hit. Thanks to Sonic State.
I like it
But: We didn’t hear the Tom’s and I think most of electrical Tom’s sound bad.
I think, the price is too high for a normal person..
@jayqueezy
Yep – one mic for each part of the drum (snare, kick, symbol, etc.)
If you try to record real drums, studios will often use twice as many. Then it’s an INSANE hassle to get them all to sound good because of all the mic bleed. Most of the time, the mics are set up wrong, and you have to rerecord the drums anyway.
This program has better applications in the studio, not necessarily live.
@rayMacy
Actually, just about ALL the major producers today use this program, and a few home recorders are starting to use it. Even before the program came out, many major studios actually did analog drum replacement (play back the drum part and rerecord the kick drum, rewind and just record the snare, rewind and just record the hats, etc.).
Drum replacement in the studio has been normal for decades.
@joe39363
Joe, this program isn’t a drum ’substitute.’ It’s a tool to get a better replication of drum tracks played by a real drummer to sound very clean and and avoid problems with mic bleed.
In the old days, you’d do analog replacement. Name any big band from the 70s through 90s. They’d record the whole drum kit, then rewind, and just rerecord the kick drum, rewind and then just the snare, rewind, and just record the high hat, etc.
This program is the same thing, except on computer.
do you need all of those mics?
@joe39363 , yeah, truth is that this software is very interesting to me, i’m a guitarrist, and it takes me a lot of time to make midi sequences with other softs, so, and i don’t have enough money, space and hability to play real drums, so, it’s practical to me to work alone in studio. but obviusy, i’ll prefer a real drumset and a drummer if i could have it…
I just find that making real music with real instruments is better. But that’s just me. Sometimes people put more importance on cumputer technology and not as much on the REAL art of making music. But it’s all personal preferrence. Rock On Fellers
@joe39363
amen sir.
You can patch this in to Additive Drums…
joe some of the best use sampling…butch vig does and hes the man. i dont know if he uses drumagog or not but i know he samples. and one of my friends runs a studio (panda studios) he uses this! hes also the man
agreed. and triggers are cheaper than mics!
If they had this 20 years ago, I could have just got some mics for my cardboard box setup and been ready to record my own drums. Instead, I bought a guitar and collaborated with a drummer and never did my own. I learned to program all kinds of MIDI drums, but you can get more done if you have the ability to play them like this. Some people use this just to fix the sounds they don’t like on their Roland drums. I’m not sure which ones, but I hear a lot of people hate the cymbols.
I think it’s a damn shame that music making has taken a back seat to computer technology! If you know what you’re doing when recording drums you won’t need this! If you DON’T know what you’re doing you have no business recording in the first place. THIS is part of the reason music has become what it is today. CRAP!!!!!!!! If you can’t sing there’s a program for that. If you can’t play there’s one for that. If you can’t mix there’s one for that too!
EXTREMELY COOL! At this stage though only Ringo Starr could play them. (That’s a non-flash drummer joke) If I tried this I’d knock a mic over every 5 seconds!
haha i actually wanna play a show using this
it’s almost like beatboxing on steroids
Pretty soon all musicians will just have to stand on a stage
trigger instruments with our minds. Or better yet, the audience can watch a holographic, imaginary band created by the audience themselves in real-time. Even better, give everyone
electric KoolAid before the show!:)
Addictive Drums is 10x better sounding IMO.
crazy stuff
Many home-recording artists/bands are starting to use this….it’s also being picked up by several well known producers/engineerers. It’s not an ends-all program, but it sure can be useful when experimenting with different sounds you may want.
maybe on the record or something..but i mean i cant see them doing this live.. im not into it really anyways but dont get me wrong its stil pretty cool.
well dude all those hardcore emo bands use this believe me listen to the sounds
yeah thats actually pretty cool BUT COME ON bands wont use this..LOL FUCK THAT.. :S
wtf
i use this live! on the bassdrum
fuck this
