This threshold line represents the percentage in which the trigger point matches the Tracker’s machine learned idea of what a specific instrument sounds like. We’ll follow this by using Neutron’s Track Assistant to push the whole kit past the finish line and end up with a tight, polished drum sound that cuts through the wall of guitars. To help demystify sample replacement, we’re going to walk through the process of sample replacement for drum elements of an acoustic drum kit in a metal track using Superior Drummer 3. Sample replacement makes sure the first strike is as audible and strong as the last. This rapid performance style inevitably leads to an uneven attack structure on kicks, snares, and toms. One reason for this is the breakneck speed at which these drummers are often playing. The practice of drum sample replacement has become commonplace in modern production, especially in hard rock and metal. Sample replacement plug-ins like Superior Drummer work by detecting each moment when a drum hit occurs on a recorded track, and using these moments to trigger playback of a sample. Drum sample replacement is the process of layering and/or replacing recorded drums with sampled drums, generally using a virtual instrument plug-in, like Superior Drummer 3 by Toontrack.
