drum replacement questions

[cyantologist]

I recently lost a snare track to a project i was working on due to my external hd starting to die.

The tom tracks have enough snare bleed that I can gate them and use that to trigger a drum replacement plugin or something along those lines.

I guess i need to know how to go about this. Any decent free plugins? And is there a way that I could use one to render a wav file so that I can take out the few tom hits that will trigger the snare in error?

I am using cubase sx3. Any help would be appreciated.

You just need to copy the tom track that has the most snare bleed to a different track, then manually edit out the toms. It shouldn't take that long.

I don't know of any free replacement programs, Drumagog and aptrigga are the popular choices.

Wow, that didn't even occur to me. Thanks for the reply!

you could also (if cubase can do this) convert the audio to midi, then trigger a drum from one of the soft sytnhs

free drum replacement software...

I haven't used it but it's free!

You could also try just pasting snare hits on an empty track where the snares are in the tom track. That's how I did it back in day, Tedious, but free.

I see this one is posted above also. I don't have a VST wrapper so could not try it either. I already spent my $$ on Drumagog anyway so don't really care...

here's some free samples too - might work depending on what sound you were going for.
