I own Slate Trigger and use it for sample replacement.
I'm wondering how many Trigger users use the room samples, or if you prefer sending the samples to room reverbs-or using VST rooms- and using them for ambience. Also, when you do use the Slate Room samples, do you prefer to put them on an Aux/Group track and send to it and eq/compress etc, or do you do the tweaking on the snare channel?

On Snare I'm always using trigger to add ambience. I'll add a direct hit sample, a room sample, balance the two and usually end up setting the master blend around 60%. I find I get a nicer sounding snare reverb that way. On kick I'll sometimes sample replace/augment but prefer just using traditional aux's for verb if I feel it needs it.

Are you doing any compression to the original snare before you add Trigger? |

Are you doing any compression to the original snare before you add Trigger? Depends, if there was a ton of bleed and very uneven snare hits then sometimes compressing before the trigger makes it worse because you have more chances of misfiring triggers...However, 9 times out of 10 that's not an issue for me so I generally try to make the original snare sound as good as possible (with eq and compression). Then I add trigger and usually just lightly eq the finished blend. Also, sometimes I'll leave the snare uncompressed, but change the envelope of the trigger samples to reduce the dynamic range. That way the samples are very consistent, but the original snare still has some dynamics. It can make for a more real sounding blend. It really depends on the song/genre etc. I should note that I'm never replacing snares (or other drums) 100%. But I am heavily augmenting them. |

One more thing, If its something I recorded I always take samples of the drummers kit. I'll then edit them, process them, and make my own trigger instruments. Then I'll use those to blend into the original drums. This approach works best imho, but its very tedious. However its fantastic because now the tuning and overtones of your samples match you OH and Rooms perfectly, which is the main problem I have with stock samples.
