Sounds ( and looks ) fucking great !!

Great drumming. ....I noticed the Roland Trigger Midi converter......

Are any of the drums pre sequenced/recorded, or all live ? Going through much outboard gear??

Great stuff.

Hey man thankyou... spent a bit of time on it so cheers for watching/glad you like it ...

all the drums are live takes yeah... except the amen break sample on the launchpad.. and any samples played on pads with little beats in etc

the live snares and kick are really low in the mix and the samples I fire off via the triggers and tmc take priority in this... they change automatically in an instrument chain at the right points in the mix so i can switch samples to suit the current track and have automation already mapped... the tmc is proper responsive tho so you get all the hits at whatever threshold/velocity you want... maybe ill have a bit more live snare mic next time to catch some of the ghost notes etc like the cymbals...

no outboard gear... i probably wouldn't know where to start, (any ideas?) and i'm trying to keep it portable.... all ableton and a few plug ins... the rack stuff is just the interface and a d.i. unit to make patching easier/faster at gigs
