Для того, чтобы снизить нагрузку на процессор, часто применяют \»заморозку\» трэков, а иногда и конвертирование MIDI — дорожки в аудиодорожку. В этом видео описано как это сделать в программах Logic 9, Ableton 8 и Cubase 5. Информация далеко не новая, но, возможно, кому — то пригодится.

Triggering MIDI events in realtime using a microphone, Cockos ReaGate plugin, and Cubase 5.
You can download ReaPlugs VST FX Suite from: http://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/index.php

And if you have many microphones you can trigger different parts of a whole drum kit simultaneously 🙂

More to come I guess!

Cubase prior to v6 is long-known for not being very good at extracting drum audio and turning it into usable MIDI. If you use Cubase 32bit then you can download the free VST KTDrumTrigger which is pretty good for this. However, this VST does not work in v5 64bit.
I have devised a work-around that works pretty well as long as your drums are on separate audio tracks. If you only have one stereo file for drums then I’m afraid your quickest method will be writing the MIDI yourself.
