    Making my own drum samples sound more realistic

    I was thinking about that as well. The original performance was horrible in terms of timing though. I should be able to get a few good snare hits and kicks out of it. I might even pull Tom hits from other songs he did in order to get better sounding hits. I hope you all stick this...

    Making my own drum samples sound more realistic

    Oh I completely understand where you guys are coming from. This is my first time using samples that I made - on a whim at that - and I am just finding it frustrating that I know where I want to be at with his sound and I have all of the pieces to get there BUT I'm just not sure which road(s) to...

    Making my own drum samples sound more realistic

    That's an insane amount of snare samples! I agree with your previous statements as well, I just wasn't sure how to go about fixing the problems that you were telling me about.

    Making my own drum samples sound more realistic

    Well I'm trying to NOT use any other samples because I want it to be that drummer's kit. It's his bands song, since I can't have him actually playing it I'd like it to still be the sound of his kit. Do you think if I added the room mic's it would sound better? I used 20 mic's on his kit but only...

    Making my own drum samples sound more realistic

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here so please direct me to the right subforum if I'm in the wrong place. I was recording a drummer a few months ago; after a few songs I could tell that he was getting tired so I made samples of his drumkit because I knew that the more we did the less...
