Drum replacement: you’ve probably heard of this before. Whether it was in the middle of a conversation, or reading about it through an article or on famous forums out there, or in a mixing video, I’m sure you’ve heard about it. In modern productions, drums are an essential part of a mix and the foundation of a smashing sounding record; they’re more detailed, more controlled and definitely fatter.
I’ve been implementing drum replacement (or “drum enhancement”) in my productions for a while now, especially if it was tracked in my studio. The live room in my studio is a small-to-medium room; therefore including drum samples when mixing will definitely give more options to sculpt and build that drum sound that my room does not enable me to reach, from the source.

Hi Friends, there are several tools out there to apply drum samples such as "Trigger 2" from Steven Slate Drums. However, if you’re a CUBASE user, you’ll be glad to know that there is a tool already integrated and ready to use in CUBASE itself without any need of a third party tool. We have a very special guest today- our good friend Chris Selim of Mixdown Online! In this tutorial, Chris walks us through this CUBASE feature.
Thanks Warren and Chris!
Thanks ever so much Apple!
Thanks Chris for the Cubase tutorial! Thanks Warren for showcasing Cubase for us!
You're very welcome indeed Darlene!
where can I find this tutorial?
This is all new to me ...bur oh so fun........in the 1980's I used my Simmons V kit to inhance all my drum sounds......still have it,,,,thank you Warren
Wow! I remember the Simmons Drum Kit very well!
so glad to have you here Chris...i so didnt know about that one shot thing doh....now if only i could learn how and when to use the samples properly
Toilet-Tunes Happy to be here my friend!
Hi Kip, add them in, blend to taste! Yes, special thanks to Chris!
Great tutorial! Another cool trick you can do if you only have a stereo drum loop vs. separated tracks is temporarily tweak the EQ to boost the kick and snare frequencies so that the hit-points meet the threshold to create the midi notes.
Derek Whitaker I'll have to try this out, thanks for your input on this!
Thanks for your tip Derek!
Thanks Chris and Warren for being so helpful to all of us who are life time students of our craft.
You're very welcome Frank!
Wonderful to get some tips for us non-pro-tools users. I always wondered what that hit points thing did.
Hi Alex, definitely! I know that there are many different DAW's out there that everyone uses!
Thanks Chris for the Cubase tutorial! Thanks Warren for showcasing Cubase for us!
You're very welcome indeed Darlene!
I am a cubase user who had no idea this was possible. Amazing video ! I watch all of Chris’ videos. This was one of the best!
Hi John Michael yes! Chris has joined us in the Academy answering questions! He’s an amazing asset!
thank you chris and warren and thanks for the cubase 7 shout out hopefully cubase 9.5 will be mine soon
You're very welcome Matthew!!
If you end up with 9.5, you will enjoy it for sure! Thanks for watching Matt!
That's insane, had no idea you could do this. I love cubase :) Thanks Chris for the tutorial!
Wonderful! That's so cool to find out!
You're welcome my friend!
Although I use trigger 2 alot, this is definately the quick and easy for single sample replacement. Thx Chris!
Hi Michael, I didn't know about this either!
On top of this technique, I do use Trigger2 as well...They both work well IMO
Thank you for another great tutorial. :) Cubase is absolutely phenomenal!
Thanks Hristo! - Chris did a marvellous job with this one!
Absolutely! I have just subscribed to his channel too so I am really looking forward to learning from both of you :)Thank you
Hristo Kolev Thanks my friend, happy I can help!

Thanks ever so much Ron!
Is that left from the drummer's perpective! haha. Great stuff, thanks
Haha yes indeed Vic, is it?
Lol! Thanks Vic
This is exactly the reason Cubase still is the superior DAW. Lots of third party tools already fully integrated. Among lots of other things. LOTS.
Yes, I am impressed with Cubase!
Finally a video on Cubase! Thank you!
A Cubase video YEAH!
Wisemans Creek Studios haha yes indeed! Happy to be able to help!

Thank you, Chris! Works like a charm! Yeah, Cubase is really powerful. That's why I love it. :) And thanks , Warren!
You're welcome Frank, happy it works out well for you too :-)
Thanks for your insight Frank! Chris thanks for your help!
Thank you for this video, I know it’s three years old now but this trick is new to me and I was hoping there would be a video out there on cubase. I will use this trick on live drums, but also I have some drums I recorded using finger drumming, and I rendered them in place. Now I feel they need a bit more clout, so I will use this trick. Thanks heaps 🙂.
cubase automatically place sample on right spot? ..didnt knew this..
Zvonimir Sarcevic Yes, according to the hitpoints... It's a pretty cool feature :-)
thanks. Never knew that is easy to do this these days. Too bad that I dont use cubase :(
That's a very cool feature indeed!
Thankyou Chris i have been wanting to learn this ? and of course im a cubase user ? I think this channel is by far the best knowledge base for all us budding producers haha . Lots to learn ............Big thanks also to Warren love your work man , really cool stuff here .
I didnt know this and was about to buy a drum replacement sampler plugin, lol! Thanks!
Great advice from Chris! I've learned more about Cubase from Chris than anywhere else!
There you go! Sometimes the answer is right in front of us ...lol
Thanks Chris for this MARVELOUS Tip! Lol
Yes! Thanks Harmony! Thanks to Chris!
You're more than welcome :-)
Great tip using the sampler track!!!! Thanks Chris!!!!!
Yes agreed Claudius!
There's so many cool stuff you can do with the Sampler Track, it is a very cool Cubase feature
Thank you Chris! You Rock!
Thanks Warren and Chris. It was great to see this episode featured with Chris as this is my DAW of choice. And my biggest topic of recent. I have been following Chris's demonstration for replacing drums. I have also recently purchased trigger, and Auto Align. I have a question if okay: I have been replacing drums using Cubase and most recent trigger, they sound a little out. So I run them through Auto Align and they seem okay. Then I work further on my mix, and due to my PC being a little older I can only get so far through a mix before my computer is struggling, and i have to render a plugin and bounce it down. Then all my drums are out again? I have ensured my markers are set up properly but on repeated attempts the results are the same. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
it would be good if I can bounce auto align to my samples so i have them perfectly aligned before i mix, (but I can't work out how to do this other than mixing down to separate mono files) and i can then take them off to save on processing power before I mix, or is this something you wouldn't do?)
the plugins I bounced to the drum tracks after auto align were preamp drive and tape emulation...
Thanks once again for the video. Dave
Hi Dave, great question for Chris? Chris? ha
Hey Dave, this is quite a problem you have here :-( I never experienced anything like this before and I never tried Auto Align yet. When you "Render in Place" or Export your track back into the Project, everything is supposed to stay in sync usually if your locators are well set up. I think bouncing these sample tracks to save computer processing is a good idea for sure. I always bounce my drum samples back in my project whether I'm using Trigger or Cubase. Now you're saying that when you bounce your sample back in Cubase your track is not aligned anymore. I suppose that the track is equally not in sync...try this, just manually align the first sample hit with the original hit, the rest of the Sample audio Event will follow so the track will be back in sync. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the amazing answer Chris!
thanks Chris I will try this
Thank you for the drum replacement 🙏
Thanks a lot Chris and Warren. This was cool.
Good video. But One basic common fundamental requirement is missing with Cubases drum replacement options : an in built sampler browser that reads a midi part without dragging and dropping so we can easily press up and down with the arrow key in our sample packs as our song plays. This is a deal breaker for me so i use the free grace vst sampler which has an in built file browser so i can audition a folder full of snares in real time by toggling up and down with the arrow key
Love the Cubase love. Thank you for this Chris and Warren!
More Chris please!
Another great video from one of the greatest YT channels! This tutorial was exactly what I needed to edit a bad recorded kick drum :) Thanks! BTW this also works for Cubase 10 Pro (i.e. don't know if other versions of Cubase 10 can do this).
BTW I've encountered an issue that was driving me crazy! I'm using Cubase 10 Pro why the following is not shown in the above video. After clicking on the wave track you want to work on, you also have to manually select (dragging the mouse) over the area in the "Editor" that you want to convert into midi (the selected area turns into a blue colour). So the "Event Start" and "Event End" cursors are not indicators for what it will turn into midi. Seems a bit counter intuitive. However this works! This was really driving me crazy :D
Came in super handy today thanks!!
i love cubase
Me too...Lol!
Haha indeed Young Jynx!
great tutorial
Thanks ever so much Willi! Thanks Chris!
That's great, Chris. Thanks. I was specifically looking for a bit more info pertinent to Cubase. In fact Hitpoits, I recall, have been around in Cubase for years, but I don't recall it being as easy as it seems in modern versions of the DAW. I tried it once years ago. It worked, but just seemed overly complicated to pull off well. Cheers - already a subscriber to PLAP, I love Warren's channel, but I hadn't subscribed to yours, until now - seems only fair :-)
Thanks Chris
click that naughtyfication bell!
Haha yes indeed!
Lol
Long live bro
those drums sound very much mixable, no need to resort to samples, though i understand if its for a video
Hi Chris, whenever you will get bored, please add a Dorico Tutorial!!
Thnx Chris!! Great video, Just one question, How do I convert the sample track into audio?? Have a nice day, greetings from Belgium!
Chris rules!!
Great stuff as usual! Questions: Why and how convert the midi into audio afterwards? Is it because we can't process midi the same way during the mixing part? And is there any particular reason to keep the empty midi tracks after dragging the event into the sample tracks? Or can we get rid of them? Thank you!
prezzzzzz how to put key on cubase 9.5 demo
Hi. Your videos are really helpful. How likely are you to recommend the cubase pro 10 drum samples? Are they really good quality high resolution samples or would you recommend any other samples?
Excellent !!!
Thanks ever so much
Thanku for this🙏♥️
Cubase is extremely powerful!! Its probably the most powerfull DAW out there, Pro Tools dudes need to sop suffering with Avid!! Pro Tools its the outdated!!
Awesome tutorial. I'm however having an issue. When I do the hitpoint detection it looks right when zooming in, but when I actually export the midi, it does not match my original kick drum... not sure what setting could be wrong...?
Hello!
This was nice! But what if I want to do it the other way around? Trade the MIDI-note to an audio sample?
//
Nice video. What would be best thing to do when your rec is not loud enough, if you don't want to maximize it in say wavelab?
can you do a video on replacing all the drums in a loop using this method, not just one sample? EG you have drum loop that you like the groove of, but you want to use all different hits/samples for each element, but all elements are in the stereo loop. How can we do this with say groove agent SE and a drum loop given to me for example for a remix i'm doing?
Great video, very usefull info as always 🔥🔥✌ 🔊! Anyone on your channel should say "hope your doing marvaliously well" lol it really stuck with me about your vids. And i do hope you are doing marvaliously well 🎶🙌🙏😂
Thanks Native Gringo! Yes, I'm doing marvellously well!
oups a bit fast, where was that phase reverse button he used to check the snare?
Hi Rayer, great question! Chris can you help?
I'm having an issue with my setup. Using Cubase 9.5 elements and behringer umc1820. When recording drums I'm using shure drum mics. Now when I finally got them to record all the waveforms are identical. On each drum track. I have no idea what I'm doing obviously. I also cant turn levels down in cubase on each track, they are all one volume controlled by the interface. What is going on?
In the MixConsole View, how do you get the track names to stack on top of eachother? For me it's just one row of words that is cut off to example (snare to) would display kick to instead of Kick above and top below. Snare. Like yours. Please help!

Question(S) will this work on cubase 10? Also my drummer is not perfect when it comes to timing , staying on the metronome, will this work is this situation (timing)?
Cubase, still years ahead of pro tools
Great video - thanks. But.... anyone else got a problem in Cubase with the MIDI events *not* being created at all? When I'm clicking OK (as in the vid at 3:19) I get a new MIDI track created OK - but there's just one single MID note created (aaaaaarrrgh!). All the hitpoint detection is working OK, I can set threshold, see the slices, play back the individual slices in 'Edit Hitpoints' (and also use the hitpoints I've created for multi-track drum quantizing OK) - its just that the MIDI note generation isnt working for me. *Sigh*. Running v10.5.20 Build 179 on Mac. Any ideas greatly received, real time burner for me at the mo :-(
Please can you give me some advice? If I get a Bae 1073 Dmp, Will it soud good if I use it through the line input/converters on my focusrite 18i20?
Splended! Thanks for your Reply :)
