What really could eliminate some unwanted effects is a microsecond tuned delay for the reverb. Unfortunately I'm not aware about a Linux reverb that sounds good + providing microsecond tune-able delay, before the reverb starts. Using a good reverb for all instruments (available for Linux, by Fons), but fine tuning the delay, before the reverb starts just taking care about the drum machines hi-hat, could fix a lot ... AFAIK this fine tuning can't be done by good Linux reverbs, external gear is needed or maybe a combination of a delay and a reverb ... I simply use 19" stand alone gear. > , but really fixing the problem.

A friend is very gifted Jazz drummer, I hate to hear him playing the new Roland pads, the sound is much more pleasant, when he plays his 70s natural drum gear, but those modern e-drums aren't that bad as e.g. the Dauz drum pad I own, at least not when a gifted drummer plays this gear. At home I need to play guitar without an amp and I'm not one of those guys who guess that amp emulations can replace an amp. At home I can't play drums ... ok, I can't play drums where ever I'm ;), anyway, we sometimes aren't in optimal situations and need to use tricks, that _HIDE_ or better _MASK_ serious issues. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
