<\/a><\/p>\nThis is where you can change the timing of your audio. Each vertical line is a place where Pro Tools thinks there’s a drum hit. You can change the threshold at which these markers are created by clicking your audio clip, then right clicking it and hitting “Elastic Properties.”\u00a0The Event Sensitivity is what you’re going to want to change.\u00a0Shift clicking the markers will allow you to move the audio around without affecting the markers next to the one you’re moving.<\/p>\n
For this song, I had to move a lot of kick drum hits. The drummer was using a double bass pedal, and his left foot was always a little early.<\/p>\n
Slate Trigger<\/h3>\n
Slate Trigger is a drum-replacement plug-in. Its function is to take your recorded drum sounds and replace them with other drum samples that you specify. For this song, I replaced the kick, snare, and toms. When you open up Slate Trigger you’ll see what looks like an 8 channel mixer. This is because you can load up to 8 samples to be triggered at once! Very useful for layering samples to get a unique sound. To load samples, click Browser on the left and just drag samples to the channels. Then you can adjust the volume of each sample. To\u00a0make sure you don’t trigger a sample when the drum isn’t actually hit, change the Sensitivity and Detail up in the top left. Here’s screenshots of my samples for my Kick and Snare.<\/p>\n
