    Thanks for this great video! Well done…
    I just would like to add some information.
    Contrary to what you said, Ambience Sounds can be edited very easily and changed to a dry signal. The DECAY parameter works very reliably. Give it a try. You'll be thrilled.
    I also noticed the latency you described while playing. That can happen if:
    1) Changes are not saved
    2) You are not on the KIT or UNIT start page. Because then the module has to load the channel parameters for every single stroke. This weaks the performance.
    There are no problems if you are on the KIT start page while playing.

    The only time I found out to be clunky in triggering is when I didn't save my settings. It's like it's confused until you save and then it is crisp and clean once you save.

    Ended up buying this for my conversion drum set. I really like it. I thought it was a pretty easy system to learn, even with my limited experience with modules. I do have to still figure out how to save my changes. For example, i tried building a drumset from the sounds i liked inside the module. I put it on an empty kit up at like user kit 95. but when i turned the module off and back on later, it was gone. Other than figuring that out (and having to replace the faulty SD card...yes, that is a real issue with a lot of the modules. the sound would cut out for a split second every minute or so. But i contacted 2box directly and they sent me a replacement within 2 weeks) its a great module for the price!

    • @martymet
      @martymet 5 лет назад

      @Rica Buenaño Thanks for that quick tip! I didn't realize the save function can be turned on and off. And I noticed that to really dive into the module, it's definitely not plug and play. However, I find the button layout and menus pretty intuitive on the surface and I had no problem getting my drum set setup. However, I am using a whole lot of 2box stuff (HH, 2 crashes, and trigit triggers) which are optimized for more of a plug and play situation. I just plugged them in and got pretty good responses right from the beginning. Im looking forward to learning even more about the module as time goes on.

      Rica, you seem to know a lot about electronic drums. Im still a beginner. Im trying to use a drum splitter cable to add another tom to my kit. But when i split it, i get the same signal in two spots now. Both trigger the tom and neither trigger the “rim”/second zone. Do you or anyone know how to fix this?

    What triggers are you using in your Pearl hybrid kit? I was thinking about buying a Pearl roadshow 4-piece kit or Tama Club Jam kit (shell pack) and converting them. I currently have a TD-30k expanded which I've upgraded with the ATV snare and hi hats and Mimic Pro. I love the look of your kit and the larger size drums are a real plus.

    Siren question, well I kind been looking to ask someone about it. When you upload a drum cover I see on peoples description “licensed to RUclips by” and the tags and others I see that they only add the copyright infringement text but I never understood it lol. Thx 🤟🤟

    • @AtTheSourceStudios
      @AtTheSourceStudios  5 лет назад +1

      Hey! Sorry the late reply. I think I'm a little confused by your question so my answer might not help but anyway lol my understanding of cover songs is either it's allowed on RUclips by the artist and it get demonetized (money goes to them) or it's not allowed and will either not have sound or they'll give you a chance to remove the copyrighted audio. The description script has no merit as to what is allowed or not allowed. Thank you for watching!!

    Personally, I think the Alesis Strike module sounds better. Certainly looks better, too!

    • @steevidrums
      @steevidrums 5 лет назад +3

      That comes down to sound choices. The fact that both modules side by side will sound identical if they both had the same sounds on them, which can be done if you sample both and load them into each module) But the strike probably will top it as a user machine because of the physical faders, large colour screen and more inputs/outputs. The 2box has NO load time, so some might prefer that over the pros of the Strike. Both great modules though and both very well priced.

    • @steevidrums
      @steevidrums 5 лет назад +3

      There's a size limitation on both too. I believe the strike's limits is the RAM (200MB per kit?) Whereas the DI3 is the total storage, but that can be upped to 32g for a small cost which also comes with other major benefits!

    @SiREN-DRUMS how did you find the latency ?

    • @AtTheSourceStudios
      @AtTheSourceStudios  4 года назад +1

      That was 100% a observation based on feel so take with a grain of salt but also import to note that stats don't mean everything because the stats say it's great but I know what I experienced first hand.
      I felt a disconnect when playing at times which I recognized as latency (I record a LOT #atthesourcestudios ) although it seemed to change sometimes it was alright and sometimes it was like... TF... If you've ever played an e kit through midi you'll know what I mean where when there's latency it completely takes you out of the zone because you're noticing slow audible feedback from when you're hitting. It's not TERRIBLE by any means. The samples themselves more than make up for it. Some of the cymbal samples are literally 9seconds long per layer. Fckn sweet lol but yah the HiHat is the weakest and more noticeable latency unfortunately but not uncommon for a HiHat to be a weak point on an e kit ofc.
      I would confidently say if you're interested in the D3 it is a safe buy as long as you are mentally prepped for learning how to get through the gross menu screen lol the sample import is also not fool proof like they want you to believe.
      Unlike the Strike where you are able to edit the samples after the fact to get rid of any mistakes the module might have made when importing, if and when 2Box gets the layers wrong... You're stuck. It can be annoying and honestly discouraging if you have intentions to record with imported samples and realize your rim shots or hardest hits on any of the instruments will unavoidably register as mid to low level hits.

      The Alesis Strike is compatible with Roland modules. Roland leads all in module user interface, hardware (pads/cymbals etc) and trigger performance (low latency and super sensitive clean triggering) but they are well behind in terms of sound now that there are multiple multi velocity layered sampled modules on the market. Strike, DrumIt3 and Mimic all sound better than Roland. Just my opinion though! Thanks for watching! :)

    That’s the China Sound I CRAVE!! But this module just not my cup of joe!
    I love 💕 Electric Drums and play them -
    BECAUSE I HATE / CANNOT STAND the sound of “PLANE DRY NORMAL SOUNDING ACOUSTIC “
    Like as if I just sat down behind an Acoustic Kit and started playing with my band and my kit doesn’t sound all mic 🎤 d.
    I cannot stand it - Because while I’m playing with my band my Toms and kick don’t sound NOTHING like the Album- Can’t get that Huge Rumble Metallica/ Megadeath / Type of Huge Rumbling Toms and kick/Snare??
    So this isn’t the cup of coffee ☕️ I would enjoy at all... LoL 😆 hahahahaha
    When you say this would be a good kit to “”record with??”” I get confused??
    Because I NEVER hear 👂 plane dry drums like these in any song on the radio or album???
    I mean unless a drummer plays Country music or jazz or some coffee ☕️ shop type of hippie songs or something? LoL 😆 hahahahaha hahahahaha lol 😆
    I mean I listen to the kits sounds and I could NEVER use those sounds on ANY TOP HIT on the radio nor Metal or Rock???
    So a bit confused 🤷‍♂️? Unless you mean send this Module through a big Effects Rack in a studio or something? Then yeah of course shoot lol 😆 if any drummer sends his Drum Module Through a Studio effects racks then record it-
    Truth is Any Drum Module will come out sounding insanely awesome!
    The studio me and my band recorded one time - The Studio sound guy just finished recording a band and the drummer brought in a Alesis Nitro LoL 😆
    Hahahahaha
    But dude I’m telling ya - I was shocked 😮 because the freakin Studio made his cheap ass crappy Module Sound like Total Awesomeness!!!!
    It basically sounded like in your TD25 video you made a Heavy Kit - Well it sounded like that but EVEN BETTER!!! LoL 😆 hahahahaha
    So anyways... I just don’t get why buy an Electric Module that sounds so Plane and dry - When 80% of people are just gonna run it through a Effects Rack ANYWAYS?????

If you hear that on a recording it's game over, pull the track, it's shit lol The not being able to add or subtract ANY ambience or fx is a hard blow to the module though.
