How do I Trigger Drum Samples?

[Christopher PadgettParticipant]

I want to use drum samples in my mixes the way Warren does, but I have no idea how to trigger them. Please help. Thanks.

In Studio One you could use the Gate... it has a trigger function. It is somewhat limited though. If I remember correctly Warren use Melodyne to create MIDI tracks to trigger drum samples. I use Steven Slates Trigger. Both those methods require a higher level of Studio One than Artist. If you do upgrade Studio One to a higher level where you get Melodyne Essential... you will get a good offer on their better editions of Melodyne. Just be aware of it, check Melodyne Editor/Studio out beforehand and if it seem like something you want, have the cash ready. It is a good deal and limited to two weeks. At least it was when I got it.

There are videos showing how Warren does it with Melodyne hear somewhere within your plapa academy account.

Hi Christopher,
You can also use Impact which comes free as a Sampler in Studio One. I believe you can trigger drums with it. Melodyne is also a great way to do it and is more versatile also. Cheers. 🙂
