He's a drummer

Ok then Daunt, since you're a drummer, look yourself in the mirror & repeat after me: "Go Fuck Yourself!"



(THAT WAS A JOKE IN CASE ANYONE MISSED IT!!)



Seriously though, wonderful guide you got going on there.

 

[Daunt]

Thanks! I'm glad you find my guides helpful. It feels good to give something back to the forum.

 

[Fabbio]

Really interesting!!!
Great work!

Is a pdf version available?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Excellent guide, thanks! I tried the micing techniques last night when tracking a song for my band, and it turned out well considering the equipment we had

Why not use a plugin (like http://www.pdf995.com) that prints it as PDF-file?

Anyway, very good guide indeed. Hopefully someone makes a guide about mixing and editing the drums, that doesn't just concern how to replace the natural hits with samples.

Very great guide man!
What do you mean when you speak about click track? How do you create it?

I always build it in Cubase using the Tempo Track tool. In Pro Tools it's called Tempo Map.

Ok...and what do you have in this track?
Anyone know in there is something similar in Sonar?

 

[botus99]

I'm sure theres something like that in Sonar. It's used to set the tempo and changes in tempo for your metronome. If all else fails, you can do something through midi

Ah, the utility would be good...

...too bad for this is I'm on a Mac. PPC, no intel.

Anyway, thanks.

Even better that you're on a Mac. You can export PDFs directly from the print dialog in any Mac program!

Daunt - Thanks for the amazing guide!

Your guides are excellent Daunt!

I'm digging this guide. Do you use the Aural-Xpander things?

I haven't used them myself, but I'm sure they are fine. I build my own snare baffle out of heavy cardboard and foam. Works great. Here's a photo of it.

Did the copy-paste-thingy to Open Office and after minor editing this is what I got: edited off by request

 

[Daunt]

I'm sure you meant well, but I'm not cool with this PDF thing. You can make them for your own use, but please do not share them! If I want to make a PDF, I will do it myself. I'm adding stuff to this guide constantly, so it's not even finished yet.

Thank you.
