Currently I have a pretty meager setup. It’s perfect for what I do in my space though so I have no complaints. However, I have recently found a Korg D32XD Multi-Track Recorder. I’ve used this unit in the past and it is awesome for me considering how I would like to expand my space. Ultimately, I may convert my garage or move the studio space to either my basement or attic to allow for more gear within my space. As it stands, I don’t have space enough for a drum set so recording drums, unless absolutely necessary, is out of the question. Why am I rambling on about this problem on my blog site? Because I am torn between purchasing this recorder or my Roland TD9SX drum set.
There are many ways I can look at this and many solutions. One solution is to pick myself up an Alesis USB Pro Drum Kit With Surge Cymbals and upgrade my Ableton Live with Session Drums. I know what you’re thinking…I’m compromising quality for price. You may be right but I can achieve an incredible drum sound with Ableton Session Drums and a USB drum set such as this Alesis at a much lower price. No, the Alesis doesn’t have multi-zone triggers but it’s mainly for practice. I do plan to use it a bit for live podcasting of my bands performances but I can get the good drum sounds from Session Drums for that. Ok, I’m done rambling. Let me know what you think I should do. Any input is appreciated!
