I’m going to be moving from a house to an apt so I need to switch from acoustic to electronic drums because of noise. My only goal is to record on my mac. I know there are a lot of killer midi drum samples out there and I’m looking at getting an alesis usbpro to trigger them in cubase. Is this kit very quiet with it’s real drum heads and cymbals? Also, are there any alternatives that are better or cheaper for what I want to do?
the Alesis USBPro is awesome. I used to have one when I was in my apartment, and sold it when I moved into my house. I loved that thing! I don’t think you would be disappointed by it.
Also, you should join an online forum for recording geeks like yourself, who can really benefit from other people’s information. Forums are awesome because of that. This one in particular – http://www.audioneeds.com – is filled with tons of pro sound engineers who sit around all day answering questions for people who need help with their recordings… I’m sure it’ll help.
