Summary:Typically, if I'm going to use any triggers in the mix, it's going to be a blend.The mix ratio of live source hits and trigger hits varies depending on the type of sound I'm trying to achieve. For rock/ hard rock recordings, I might use a 20 per cent trigger and 80 per cent live blend to achieve an organic or "real" vibe. For metal/punk recordings, a 50/50 blend could be used to increase the aggressiveness of the drum sound. When recording a few intense death metal projects, I have used a blend of 80 per cent trigger and 20 per cent live to achieve a level of punishment that was needed in the mix.
