Waves InTrigger Drum Replacer

Waves InTrigger Drum Replacer - Smart Drum Trigger | Intelligent Learning, Restores Realistic Human Drum Dynamics

When dealing with simple drum beats, replacing a snare sound might be a breeze—many plugins on the market can handle it. However, when the music becomes complex—filled with delicate ghost notes, rich dynamic variations, and the inevitable microphone bleed—most traditional drum replacement plugins fall short. You might end up spending a lot of time manually editing trigger points or have to settle for a drum sound that is extremely robotic and lacks soul.

Waves InTrigger will completely change your workflow. It's not just smarter and faster; more importantly, it makes the replaced drum sound as lively as a real human performance. We believe the ideal trigger plugin should involve just two core steps: first, learn the essence of the original performance, and second, choose your desired sample. InTrigger was designed for exactly this, featuring powerful built-in COSMOS sampler integration and offering live sound engineers an unprecedented solution for real-time live performance drum replacement, making your drum processing work more efficient and precise than ever.

Core Advantages & Use Cases

One-Click Learning, Smart Trigger Setup
Simply click the "Learn" button on your track, and InTrigger will instantly begin analyzing your drum audio. It detects every hit and subtle ghost note with incredible accuracy while intelligently ignoring microphone bleed. You can achieve flawless trigger results with little to no manual adjustment.

Humanize Control, Recreate Authentic Performance Dynamics
The exclusive "Humanize" knob is the soul of InTrigger. It skillfully shapes the attack envelope and dynamic response of each trigger, allowing a single sample to produce subtle, natural variations with every hit. This means that even when using a single sample, you can achieve a highly expressive and natural-sounding performance throughout the entire song.

Seamless COSMOS Integration, Audition Samples in Real-Time
InTrigger includes a license for the Waves COSMOS AI-powered sample browser. You can access your entire personal sample library directly within the plugin interface and audition or switch between different drum sounds in real-time as your music plays, all without interrupting your creative flow, significantly improving the efficiency of sound selection.

Efficient One-Shot Drum Replacement
InTrigger also excels in electronic music production or scenarios that require quick replacement of drum machine sounds. You can rapidly swap existing one-shot kick, snare, or tom samples with new sounds to instantly reshape the tone and style of your drum kit.

Bring Studio-Quality Drums to the Live Stage
InTrigger Live is the industry's first zero-latency real-time drum replacement plugin designed specifically for live performances. Sound engineers can replace or layer drum sounds in real-time within an eMotion LV1 or SuperRack system, without needing any expensive hardware modules. Whether you're fixing a poorly mic'd drum kit or adding creative electronic samples, InTrigger Live handles it all effortlessly, with zero latency and no operational headaches.
