Replacing and Quantizing a High Hat Using TL Drum Rehab

Using the TL Drum Rehab Expert panel to replace and quantize a high hat sound:

1 Insert TL Drum Rehab on a mono audio track containing a high hat recording.

2 As in workflow example 1, do the following:

Load the desired DRP file, or load samples (WAV, AIF, or SD2) into Zones.

Make a Timeline selection.

In the Trigger panel, select the appropriate Detector Mode setting.

Enable Listen mode.

Play back the selection to detect triggers.

3 In the Expert panel, click Commit All.

 

Commit All button (left) and the Expert panel button (right)

Committed triggers play back regardless of whether or not Listen mode is enabled. TL Drum Rehab lets you edit the position of committed triggers by clicking and dragging, which can be useful if you are working with drum sounds that do not have clear attack transients, or if you need to compensate for the delay inherent in non-close miked recordings (such as overs for the cymbals). Committed triggers are indicated by a red arrow.

For more information on working with committed triggers, see TL Drum Rehab Commit Button.

 

Committed triggers

4 If there are some committed triggers that you do not want to play back, click either Uncommit or Ignore.

Uncommitted triggers do not playback if Listen mode is disabled, but do playback if it is enabled (because they are re-detected in Listen mode, so a new trigger is generated). Ignored triggers do not playback regardless of whether or not Listen mode is enabled. When working with committed triggers, Listen mode is typically disabled so that TL Drum Rehab doesn’t reanalyze the selection’s attack transients and generate new triggers after you have already edited any committed triggers.

5 Disable Listen mode.

6 For no latency on playback, enabled No Latency mode (see Triggering Controls).

7 Select the desired quantize resolution from the Quantize To pop-up menu (see TL Drum Rehab Quantize To Menu).

8 Adjust the Quantize slider to achieve the desired amount of quantization. 100% hard quantizes committed triggers to the selected Quantize To resolution (for example, sixteenth notes).

9 Adjust TL Drum Rehab’s playback controls as desired (see Playback Controls).

10 Once you are satisfied with the result, do one of the following:

Bus and record the output of TL Drum Rehab to a new audio track.

Use Bounce to Disk to render the replacement track and import it back into the session. For more information on Bounce To Disk, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.

Leave the plug-in inserted and continue to use it during playback.
