Engineers use that to fix bad drum sounds, or to move the drum track from audio to midi so that it can be edited if the performance wasn’t in the pocket. I bought my electronic kit so that I wouldn’t have to record an acoustic kit because that is hard to get right, especially at home, and because I am not a very proficient drummer, so I am likely to have to edit some hits anyway. There are many ways to get it right and a thousand more to get it wrong.

Then you use Drumagog to replace the ORIGINAL drum sound with a crisper, pre-recorded tom, bass, snare, et cetera. We thought it was pretty awesome, but I wonder if there would be any final difference between a live set and an electronic set, since both can be run through similar software . . . I’m sure my drummer-buddy, Josh, would balk at the idea that an electronic drum set could, after post-production, sound just like his live set!
