Routing live kick and snare tracks
Send the dry tracks to aux tracks and set the sends PRE fader
On the aux tracks, insert from the TDM plug-ins, a signal generator followed by a gate. You can choose between a few different waves – sine, saw, triangle, square, and white or pink noise. Attempt to get the bass drum to trigger the kick with the sine wave via the gate. Try pitching the sine wave to the correct frequency to fit the program material.
Activate the key input and input to the correct bus on the gate, otherwise you won’t hear the trigger.

Try this same technique with white noise to get and electronic sounding snare drum. If this effect is tweaked right, you can make it sound like just the snares of a snare drum. IF a beat that you are working with has a lot of ghost notes, find a sweet-spot for the threshold that allows it to sound like someone is playing with brushes.
