hey George,
any suggestions for the best program to use for transferring midi samples to the dmpro?

I recently had my dmpro module reconditioned/upgraded when I came down to see the show in LA at the Galaxy back in July(fucking excellent as always!!)
I need to get some better bass drum samples, is there some killer samples on drumagog or any other sources you would recommend?

Hey man,
I use DMPro in my studio as well but i never figure out the way to transfer new samples in there.I know it's not hard but i am missing the card and i never tried to get into it so much...yet....
The thing and the main reason i do not care about this anymore is that i use different way to record my kicks right now.
I use mics AND triggers always,this way i get dynamics in my playing which is something that triggers will never give you well.So,i get the best sound possible out of my kicks first,big and fat kick drums.
Then i have a separate channel where i have the trigger wave,which i will eq in a way the will give me all the mids and highs,so i can get a clean kick sound when i play fast.
Mixed together as natural accoustic and trigger kicks is the best results i ever had,it just need a little bit of work so you can match them together,then you are ready to go.For live now,which i haven't done yet but i am interesting to do,you can get one of your own samples (miced and triggered) and use it as a regular sample.That will be really great,although i don't know if i wanna get my DMPro on the road......
Search for a PCIMCIA card,that should work easy even with wav samples.The card will be used as a sound bank so it should be on all the time.

hey George !! strange to hear only today that you use mics & trigger for bassdrums sound i know since a long time about it & for sure it gives you an awesome powerful sound !!! but really cool that you use it now

No...it's not new for me,that's what i did for Ithyphallic,Annihilation and many old albums i did in Greece with Nightfall etc.The thing is now i do it myself,in my studio projects and that's pretty much what i prefer from anything else i did with the kick sound.It's cool when you do it in the studio but when you did it by yourself and mix them the way you want as a drummer THEN you see the abilities of it......

hey blastrealm, where did you get your module reconditioned at? my buddy lives down in burbank, and i may visit to see the show in march. though i'm not really having any problems with the module, if there are any upgrades i'd like ta look into them. and like you guys, i never got the pcmcia card with mine.

Studio projects? Lets hear 'em

thanks man, I definetely agree with the mixed sound of acoustic/trigger, would like to get a good studio mix of my bass drum with a better trig sample then get it on the card so the smaller bars etc. that usually don't have 2 bass drum mics & a good sound guy the bass drums will sound killer no matter what situation.


the # for Alesis is 401-658-5760 the service center was near w.hollywood if I remember right, I had some transistors fixed & they upgraded the software to ver.2.0, works great now no problems they warranty it for a year as well

ok ok !!! i haved think that you never use it before lots of drummer use it as Max of KRISIUN !!
