[pifos_2]

thanks

Cool vid! Thanks for sharing. Do you recommended this humanizing process before or after tracking other instruments? I usually do this last.

 

[pifos_2]

it depends on the vibe of the music of course. for metal/heavy rock, it shouldn't make such a big difference. for lighter stuff, before might be a good idea.

Just saw you made another video! Great stuff, thanks a lot!

 

[Melb_shredder]

Great job dude! I want to do a similar thing for Recording DI's and Reamping for bands and peope who just don't get it

Really nice tutorial For a extended Version i would assume to tell sth about:

- How to turn a real - for example Snare - track into midi for mixing samples with the real drums
- How to edit more complex drumpatterns (like rolls or very fast Bassdrum patterns)

 

[pifos_2]

thanks guys!

I did a second tutorial about my way of mixing those particular drums : http://youtu.be/3lkOCl6SfC4?hd=1

 

[Mago]

Awesome man, thanks!
Haven't had the time yet to look into midi in PT, so this is a nice starting help for me!
2nd video is also pretty nice

 

[CharlesMonroe1989]

Wow the second is really nice! But its hard to get a similar sound without having these plugins for 500$...

 

[Ratel]

great tutorials so far! it would be awesome if you do some vocal production & mixing tutorials in the future

 

[pifos_2]

great tutorials so far! it would be awesome if you do some vocal production & mixing tutorials in the future

thanks, well i am thinking about vocal production.

mixing would be cool but it's so "situation-dependent" that i dunno...
