Drumtracker

Drumtracker® ist ein Hostunabhängiger Standalone Mehrspur Audio zu Midi Konverter, spezialisiert darauf Audiospuren von Schlagzeugaufnahmen in Midifiles zu wandeln und so z.B. einzelne Sounds wie Snare oder Bassdrum durch andere Klänge zu ersetzen oder den einzigartigen Groove einer Liveaufnahme (oder Lieblingsdrumloop) auf das eigene Drum Plug-in zu übertragen.

Die eingebauten Filter in Drumtracker® erlauben es die typischen Instrumente zu spezifizieren und gezielt zu analysieren. Diese Einstellungen lassen sich natürlich für weitere Analysen als Presets speichern. Drumtracker® bietet die Möglichkeit auszuwählen welchen Teil des Drum Audio Tracks gewandelt wird, bis hin zu einem einzelnen Drumhit. Abgesehen von der automatischen Erkennung des Grooves können die Anschlagstärken nach Belieben geändert werden, auch die Trigger Punkte können manuell gelöscht und hinzugefügt werden.

Und hier unternimmt Andreas Sundgren von Toontrack Music eine Reise zurück in die Zeit:

I started playing in my first serious band just when the record format shifted from vinyl to CD. With that first band we even managed to release a vinyl EP before CD took over.

After we made that EP, we made a bunch of recordings, both for a CD that we released and just some demos in the studio with the songs of the original EP in new versions. Every time we re-recorded those songs we tried capturing the feel of the first cut on that EP. We never succeeded. The new recordings always came out more competent than the originals but also a lot less emotional.

Before this turns into an article in any well-known rock mag where the thirtysomething rock journalist tries to delve into the mysteries of lost youth, I know you’re asking yourself: in which way does this relate to presenting a software tool designed for converting audio recordings of drums to MIDI?

Well, back then, if only I (or we) had the means to capture both the sound and emotion of the original 8-track recordings of that EP, it seems obvious I could just have used this tool to regain the feeling of the moment caught on tape. By solely replacing the sounds, we could have achieved what we were looking for - a better sounding recording... at least for one part of the track.

With the tools that Toontrack Music and others have developed to make digital
instruments sound like they came out of a ‘full-on studio’, when in fact they were produced on a laptop computer, the improved sound quality is easily achievable, undoubtedly.

The feeling is another thing. For that you need to go back to the original multi track recordings. Toontrack has endevored and will keep on striving in a direction where we can offer all components that a writer, performer, or producer might need to make better music.

Drumtracker is another step in that direction. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro that works with replacing drums on an every day basis, or somebody who wants to update the sound but not the feeling of their classic garage recordings, go catch the feeling!
