Can we share some tips about making the digitakt sound like a live drummer? Here are some techniques I’ve employed already:
-
Choose a good sample. Some samples are easier to use for this purpose than others
-
Use micro timing to nudge notes slightly offbeat, the way that a human woud play the notes
-
Use conditional trigs to create variance, and adjust tuning and volume on the notes with conditional trig’s
-
Use an LFO set to tune with a very slight depth, I usually use between .6 and .12. this can emulate a drummer hitting a head in a slightly different place
-
Use compression and a unified Reverb. the verb is almost always done better in post, but I’m sure you could get effective results using only the digitakt.
If anyone else has any other ideas or suggestions, please let us know!
