Have anybody tried to amplify the actual drum sounds thru sensors? What i mean is adding an analog input and assigning any sensor input for it?
It’s sounds like a very dry, close mic. It’s not a pretty sound because the signal is designed just for our software algo. But if you run it through some effects, I’m sure you could get a cool sound! Just don’t expect a great analog sound.
I’ve tried this just for kicks (but not just on the kick haha)! Like Tenoch mentioned, it’s not going to get you a conventional mic sound, but it can be a kinda fun experimental texture to play around with!
Hey,
Back on the sensor as close mic concept. Since I can route the sensor input as an audio input, is it possible to connect an actual microphone thru the sensor input? What I mean is a very bulky connection, but basically let’s take a dynamic mic, a XLR cable to TRS and to a mini- jack adapter . Would that work? What I’m looking is an option to fully control my own acoustic drum set sound+ the sensors+ OH mics. Also I did this thing-a-majig connection to the direct in (C or D) and a dynamic mic with a bit of extra gain from the gain utility seems to work just fine, with minimal noise. I know the sensors are powered, so I did not try this yet, just wanted to ask if the sensor input will fry my mic (or will I short-circuit the whole thing) or not. Thanks!
