Drumagog is a plugin that automatically replaces drum tracks with a variety of samples. You can use Drumagog to fix or enhance your drum tracks.

Drumagog works with any Direct-X compatible audio editing program (like Nuendo, Sonar, n-Track Studio, Cubase, Cool Edit, Sound Forge, etc). Drumagog is also available for Pro Tools.

Drumagog comes complete with its own drum sample library, and allows you to use your own wav files. Drumagog is very easy to use. Just insert it onto a drum track and select your favorite sample and Drumagog replaces your poorly recorded drums with a perfectly recorded sample. Drumagog comes with a sample collection of hundreds of sampled drum sounds. The cool thing about Drumagog is it's been designed as a plugin, so that it can be used as an insert effect on an existing drum track. It leaves the original track in tact, but it "triggers" the samples to play over your original track.

Here's how it works: If you recorded some drum tracks for a song, and you realize that the kick drum track just doesn't sound right. Maybe you didn't have your mic's placed right, or the kick drum was out of tune, or the level was too high on the kick drum, etc. Just insert Drumagog onto the kick drum track, choose a new kick drum from the list of kick drum samples, and you're done. Every time Drumagog hears the old kick drum being played, it plays the new kick drum sample. Awesome.

Drumagog 4.0 comes standard with:

• Direct X, VST, RTAS and AU Plug-in Formats
• Mac and PC compatibility
• State-of-the-Art Advanced Triggering Mode
• Live Triggering Mode
• High-Quality Pitch Change Algorithm
• Favorites
• Auto-Align Mode
• Adjustable Phase Control
• Built-In Synthesizer

Drumagog has a 14 day demo that you can download and try for yourself. Otherwise, the Drumagog basic runs for around $199. They have a Pro version which will do quite a bit more than the basic version which goes for $269. I would think most home studios can get by with the basic version of Drumagog.
