Replace or double drum sounds in the Tracks area

Using drum replacement, you can replace individual drum sounds on an audio track without
re-recording the entire track. To replace or double the drum sounds, you use an audio track
that contains a recording of a single drum (or other percussion instrument) to create a software
instrument track with matching MIDI trigger notes. The software instrument track plays drum
samples using the EXS24 mkII.

Replace or double a recorded drum signal

1

Select the audio track with the drum recording.

2

Choose Track > Replace or Double Drum Track (or use the corresponding key command).

The following changes take place in the Tracks area:

All files on the selected audio track are analyzed for transients (if they have not been
previously analyzed). The selected track is vertically zoomed.

A software instrument track is created below the audio track, and the EXS24 is inserted into
the Instrument slot.

The Library opens with the EXS24 selected, so that you can choose the sound that best
matches the project.

A MIDI region containing trigger notes based on the detected transients is created on the
software instrument track.

The Drum Replacement/Doubling dialog opens.
