Logic Studio 9 release!
- Thread starter kongwee
- Start date
I'm currently triggering a USB Pro kit that I got off eBay recently, and it works decently after nearly endless tweaking both on the Trigger iO and drum softsynth. My hihat pedal works great, I'm getting about 3 audible zones between closed and open. The stock Alesis hihat controller is exactly the one used in Medeli OEM design (read: not good), so maybe with a better foot controller like the Roland FD7 it might work better. May test it out sometime if I can get my hands on one.
Word of warning to anyone wanting a USB Pro kit, or even any of the Alesis eDrum kits (including the new DM10), the much-vaunted feature that the pads use real drum heads and are tunable are actually marketing BS.
True, they use real heads, but as far as tuning goes, it doesn't affect the feel of the pad at all. 2 reasons for that, IMO:
1. The tuning rods on the drums don't screw into a proper lug like on real drums. Instead, they screw using a nut-and-bolt system into the plastic body of the pad molded to imitate real drum lugs.
2. Right under the drum head, you have a piece of 8" circular foam and below that, a 8" plastic disc, under which is the trigger piezo. No matter how you tension the heads, it's still going to feel like you're hitting something hard underneath. Not to mention there's quite a bad hotspot at dead centre where the piezo is. I mitigated that using a combination of module gain, velocity curves as well as adjusting the velocity layers in the drum softsynth.
Perhaps other USB Pro and Trigger iO users can tell me if they also get this problem where the module sometimes confuses the switch triggers of one input for another (for me, it's between the tom 3 rim trigger and crash switch trigger). I'm pretty sure it's not crosstalk issues cos I tried plugging in each input individually to test. In any case, it seems to be okay now after I swapped some of the inputs around so that they aren't exactly the same as what's recommended in the manual.
An RET snare would be excellent, as well as an additional 13" Surge crash cymbal. I have to say that the Surge cymbals look and feel excellent and trigger very well. Closest thing you can get to Smartrigger cymbals (they're licensed by Smartrigger).
Which brings me to the whole point of this post in the first place: how much are we looking at for a 12" RET snare?

RET snare
I'm game for the RET snare Logicdroid, I've kept looking around for deals on th kit. The cost of shipping is over whelming. Last I calculates to import just the kit, no cymbals or I/O is bout 4k to 5k, including the price of the kit and taxes. This is for the fusion pro kit. If you guys are planning to bring it in please let me know.

I believe we did talk about Cubase 5 . Furthermore, Cubase 5 is actually now 64-bit - although I've heard of reports that's it needs some update patches. Logic is still not on the 64-bit wagon yet. Anyhow, Sonar 8 64-bit is probably the most stable of the lot, being the first of the DAWs to run in true 64-bit (for a few years now).
But on the Mac platform, Logic is still the preferred choice over others. Branding perhaps. Logic is now almost synonymous with Mac DAW. But having used Logic for a number of years when it still supported Windows, I must say it's the best DAW I've ever used, even though I'm now on Sonar 8 PE.
