hey guys,
alright, here's the situation: i'm working on this project, and have been trying to edit the drums for two weeks now, but there's just no hope, or in other words, my drum editing skills aren't sufficient to make sense out of this guy's playing. i'm pretty good at slip editing, but with this stuff that's just not cutting it. will explain.
project consists of nine songs. style = death metal. no split times (thank god), just bomb and gravity blasts, also quite a few grooves. ranges from 75 to 260 bpm.
the problem: they didn't use a click for half of the songs. some songs also got parts with and parts without a click. no real tempo map, just a text file stating which tempos are used throughout the song.
main issue: VERY FUCKING BAD DRUMMER. seriously, this guy shouldn't even be playing drums, let alone death metal. shitty kick, dragging blasts....for example, if he was supposed to hit the snare let's say 60 times during a blast section, he'll slow down right in the middle of the section and maybe play the snare 50 times, so slip editing is a no go here.
i guess anyone who knows his shit in pro tools will be able to make sense out of this mess...most of the time at least.
re-tracking is not an option, unfortunately.
i'm not sure what the usual rates are for this kind of job, that's why i said possible offer. if it's too much they'll just have to deal with what they played.
if you feel you're up to the task, just shoot me a pm with your rates. i'll gladly send you the multitracks of one of the songs so you can check it out yourself - but don't say you weren't warned.
actually, i'll say it once again, this is not for the inexperienced.
no real deadline btw.
thanks
