Isn't it possible to pull in additional samples for Drumagog? I thought its main purpose was as an interface and methodology for track replacement? I watched their demo at NAMM but now that's a while back and my memories are fading. And I downloaded the demo but neglected to use it before it expired (I tried to use it two weeks ago as I "needed" it, but it was too late).

My NI battery demo expired before I used it also (I downloaded too many demos at once, hoping to do cross-comparisons, but it all became so time-consuming that I never got around to reviewing the drum-oriented and guitar-oriented software). I've been hearing more great things about Stylus of late and should give that one a shot.

How about Melodyne? Any feedback from people using it as a tool for reshaping the kick drum?

I'm actually planning on trying some experiments over the next few nights using my recently purchased TC Electronic Triple-C compressor, as it has a special Envelope Mode that allows you to actually alter the full envelope rather than just raising or lowering the overall peaks and valleys. It is specifically designed as a creative tool for drums and especially kick drum.

I rarely go for the metal drum sound, and was surprised to learn those guys mostly use samples as I had falsely assumed they might have an attitude about such technology. But I do have a couple of songs I'm mixing at the moment that really call for that big metal kick drum sound, so am following this toopic with interest.

No, this was further south (Miami) in the late 80's. At the time sampling was still "cutting edge" stuff.
