I bought a cheap e-kit a few years ago. At first, I was kinda bummed at how it didn't sound very good. Didn't seem to trigger all the time and reliably. I thought about selling it or trading it for something else, and then someone recommended I first try plugging it into my computer to trigger addictive drums, which I already had. The difference was AMAZING! I mean, I would not have thought that the brain would make the playability better, but it made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in not only the sound, but the playabililty as well. Playing through the brain was 'iffy'. Sometimes, it wouldn't trigger. But when connected to AD, all the problems with trigging go away instantly!
How do you monitor the audio? Do you send it back to the module and listen to it from there or listen to it from your daw? (How do you monitor with the least latency?)
@ No I would recommend using audacity. If you have a Mac you can use garage band for free or purchase Logic Pro. I use Ableton. If your looking to do something free maybe try Bandlab. Bandlab would be the better option over Audacity
Thanks for making this - Is there a way to KEEP the instruments on Flexi1 and Flexi2 that we've mapped, when cycling through Kit Presets (they seem to keep disappearing) ?
This question is exactly why I watched this video. I have the same issue. I am wondering if this is caused by the "label" assigned to the cable. Is there a forum for ekit users????

yo, how do u record the drum and which program do u use to edit the audio and mix it with the video?
@@syretape great question. I use Ableton Live 12 to record my drums and to record the audio. I edit in Adobe premiere
@@RonGotTheRecipe oh thanks, that’s great, do you think that audacity will do if im using it for the recording of the drums?

@@dennisslocum4296 so far, I think there is no way... (seems silly too...).
But I'm happy to be proven wrong.
