In the second part of this free video tutorial, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers uses the SPL DrumXChanger from Plugin Alliance on some drums to demonstrate the facilities offered by this drum replacement plug-in. This is Part 2 of a two-part tutorial.

Transient Designers

In this tutorial Julian walks through the settings used to subtly enhance some aspects of the kit, while rescuing others. By using the transient designers available in the original and sample sections he adds much needed low frequency sustain to the kick while keeping much of the original's character, on the snare he adds subtle weight by layering a second snare with the original and in the case of the toms he replaces them completely but demonstrates checking the tuning of the replacement toms against the original toms still present in the overheads.
