here's what I want to do (for now) ...

Hi Linplug folk,
I'm wanting to record live drums in my studio space, but alas its small and crappy sounding. I thought of an idea (not original but based on something I read "somewhere"). What if I recorded my acoustic drums 'live', then converted that audio to midi, then fed that midi data into my Linplug RM(name your flavor) for re-assigning.

Too good to be true? Anyone here ever use these audio to midi converters with any success?

The other option is to invest in some electronic drums and drive my RM with that.

Thoughts, ideas? I'm all ears.

I have dun this too to get the feeling of a human drummer into my Loops i did for RMV for example, it's very easy to do this in Logic, there is a function called audio to midi groove template and it's working fine after you understand how it works....

Another way to get the timing of a drummer is using audio and searching for the time where for example a kick or snare starts...

For example, take your audio material and loop it, open an audio editor and look where the Hi-Hats, Snare starts and use the timing of the loop in your midi sequence, that's it, works fine and with every DAW...

So you're saying no special software is required? I'll have to look into this. I'm using Sonor Home Studio for my DAW.

Thanks so much for the input Xenox!
