Absolutely incredible tool give you every parameter to track accurately. The drum sounds sounds are incredible and sit well in the mix with little to no additional processing.

Drum Triggering Bonanza

This easy to use Drum Trigger just works as it is described. And is really simple. Make sure you unpack all the files properly. The samples are outstanding and strait forward. The latency is very good. I use the samples with very little post processing. Good to go right out of the can. I wish I could import more of Steve's samples into this plug in.

TRIGGER

A dead easy interface with a bundle of samples and an instrument creator to make your own drum triggers? It cannot be! I used to be a drumagog user, and don't get me wrong, it was awesome. But Trigger just does what drumagog does much easier and more accurately. The fact that you can blend multiple samples in one instance is just amazing. The controls are so simple, and I haven't even tapped into it's full potential for "anti-bleed triggering". If you aren't proficient in editing live drums and getting the sound that you want, Trigger is definitely the way to go.

The Greatest Product Ever Created

5 Stars are not enough to rate this! This is the greatest studio product I have ever used and I have used a lot. I truly feel sorry for the competition. In a nutshell this software will make your original recorded drums sound like the greatest drum set in the world. To put it in perspective I would have easily paid $5000 just for this program. It adds an element to the entire song that cannot be explained in words (Listen to a you tube video for a small sample that does not do as much justice as it deserves). From my understanding the software replaces your recorded Toms, Kick & Snare Drum! It is extremely easy to use. Simply Record your drums on to different tracks and use the "Trigger" Plug In on the Toms, Snare and Kick tracks. The interfacing is user friendly and each knob makes sense in relation to its purpose (Each knob has a very specific meaning and makes a difference to the drum sound). You can mess around for hours dialing in great sounds or just use one of the many super professional sounding presets generated by Steven Slate and his staff. All the drums sound real, natural and authentic not fake or generic. The sounds fit perfectly into the songs mix. Within 5 minutes of using this product I thought the drums sounded better than most songs on the radio! Every serious recording artist should have this. I still can not believe the price is so cheap and coming from a guitar player the sound of these drums are making me wish Jesus gave me drummer talents! LOL

AMAZING!!!

I didn't want to believe the hype and I was an idiot. This is BY FAR the best triggering software out there. Drumagog's tracking is horrible, apTrigga's options are kinda limited, this just crushes. Tracks flams, phase, sloppy rolls, dull transients, & more better than I could ever imagine. The sample library is solid, and the ability to make your own dynamic triggers is amazing. Perfect product. No joke.

Slate Digital Trigger is a winner

This is an excellent product. Very easy and quick to make a poor or even a good drum recording sit in a mix perfectly. A great range of drum sounds with excellent room ambience mics, all easily controllable. Well worth the money.

Fixed our flat drums

When the drums were tracked for our project, there was way too much dampening on the heads. The toms sounded like cardboard boxes, and we just couldn't get the snare EQ'd quite right in post production. Using Digital Trigger Platinum fixed all that! Drums sound great now!

Best Drum Sample plug in currently in the market

I found this to be the best drum replacement program available in the market. Of course there are improvements that can be made. None others i have used actually phase align correctly. Slate Trigger is reliable, set it and forget it, dont second guess your phase alignment on each sample. Not to mention the Steven Slate samples that come with it are highly usable.
My only negative feedback is that if you import your own wav format files, it will not be able to rotate through the samples randomly or at all to create a natural sounding augmentation/replacement. You need to further create a TCI file which is more time consuming. Also, i find the samples menu bar slightly primitive.
The transient designer in this program is very good. All in all, this is by far the best drum replacement program available.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
