Aerodrums and Aered forums

Hi, to address some of your points... 1) Do you have the buffer size set to the smallest value in the Latency screen? This is the main factor that determines the latency. 2) The best advice I can give is to follow the instructions carefully, in particular about positioning the camera relative to the...

Currently the only audio files that Aerodrums supports for making custom drum/cymbal elements are uncompressed, mono/stereo, 8/16/24-bit wav files. The native sample rate is 44100 hz; if you specify a wav file with a different sample rate it will automatically be converted to 44100. Feel free to pos...

Thanks a lot! Your suggestion is a good one, I will add it to our 'todo' list.

Thanks sambosun! We are planning to review and rework the MIDI interface soon to make it more flexible in the ways you suggest. We will definitely consider the addition of a "learn" function or something similar.

Myself and Yann are committed to supporting and improving Aered, including releasing a Mac version. One of our big plans is to make Aerodrums and Aered work together to allow automatic transcription of your performances in Aerodrums. Once these two products become part of the same Aerodrums distribu...

Hi Smasha, in reply to some of your comments... I developed my doubles technique by practicing accenting the second hit in each double. I no longer do that consciously but I found this helped a lot in developing the ability to execute even and smooth double-stroke rolls. On Aerodrums, if you're lett...

Welcome aboard, I guess we didn't anticipate Aerodrums users to be creating 19 piece MIDI kits but you're absolutely right that Aerodrums should allow you to assign MIDI notes for each element in your kit (and it should also allow you to create MIDI only elements instead of having to specify .wav fi...

Smasha, good to hear you got Exclusive WASAPI working. In case you haven't done so already, on the Latency screen I would also make sure the "Buffer size" is set as low as possible (personally I have this set to 0.3ms) and also that the "Drum hit detection sensitivity" is set to Expert (the default ...

While Aerodrums ships with 15" and 18" crashes, the "Big Rock Kit" and "Big Jazz Kit" presets only use the 18". Of course, there no reason why you couldn't add the 15" as well.

The problem is that, to the camera, these look like downward strikes, i.e. in the upswing, once you reach the highest point, the stick starts coming down again. It is not clear how to differentiate between normal downstrokes and these type of "spurious" downstrokes but it is something we plan to loo...
