How to Use a Drum Trigger for a Noise Gate

- How to trigger a noise gate with a drum trigger! Super easy, super great, and works really well! I like to use this both in a recording scenario and live as it means other drums won't set off the noise gate whilst I'm playing. Whenever you hit the drum with a trigger on, that trigger will then open the gate, let some noise through, and then close again. No more gates opening when you hit the crash!
In this video, I used a Roland SPD-SX, a Roland RT-30HR Dual Trigger, and the Logic Pro X on the M1 Max MacBook Pro.

Very helpful! You're the man!
Super helpful! Thankyou 🙏
Im getting sound from the trigger, I have it set to multi sampler and it triggers a sound.
You might be the person who could answer a question for me? Can I use an EAD 10 stereo mic as a stereo overhead for a drum kit by connecting the mic to my Focusrite 18i20?
That’s a great question, I have no idea! I would presume so, as the outputs of the microphone unit are just jacks. But if you can, it’ll definitely be worth heading into a drum store to try. I’m sure they’d be as intrigued as I am!
I'm having quite a few issues. Im using studio one but how its working for me is everytime I hit the trigger it shuts the gate instead of opens it! It's working the complete opposite haha! any idea?
Haha! That’s so strange. I’m not entirely sure sadly! I presume it’s still doing the same once you adjust the threshold settings in the gate? Not something I’ve come across so far, but annoying none the less!

can you explain multiple triggers further? does each trigger need to go to the same bus or do they each need an individual bus? why can't you just sidechain the software instrument track itself since it's on it's own midi channel (snare 1 audio noise gate sidechain to instrument 1 snare trigger on channel 1) ?
Hey Andy! Great questions! From my experience, I've found that it works best for each trigger to be sent to an individual bus rather than the same to avoid any clashes and for the cleanest gate trigger. But absolutely worth playing with as I could be wrong! I'll be trying out side-chaining the instrument track itself, as you say, as I've not tried!
@@DrumElectric thank you. I attempted the instrument tracks and I think your right. I believe sending each to a bus will side chain the sampler audio instead of the midi into the sampler. I was successful with your method on 4 separate drums. Now I’m gonna expand it to 9 drums
Happy to hear about it being successful!! Let me know how it goes with 9!
@@DrumElectric 9 drums was a success! Thanks for the help!
That’s amazing!! Nice one Andy!!
