Quantizing Drums
- Thread starter Pedro Teixeira
- Start date
seems to be a common occurance in my world... im having a crazy drum session with the tempo changes.. drums were recorded in a different arrangement than then final recording was recorded to... alot of chopping and very time consuming considering there are 16 mics for 3 differnt tempos, and triggers.... lifes fun right about now. just thought ide vent...bonus to working on a bunch of other projects. i wish i could have an assistant full time for just prep work...

Is editing every drum hit really the norm? That seems a touch crazy to me. I understand fixing kicks etc. where needed but just slicing everything and quantizing it...

Dude, setting up DFHS is a nightmare in Logic for me. Have you done it before? Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I can't seem to get it right.
It's so bad that they had to create a video tutorial showing people how.
Grrrr, I really want a different DAW.

I find drum quantizing far easier in Logic than most other programs (PT is king here).
If you are using Toontrack stuff in Logic 8, its super easy too.
Make a MIDI instrument track, choose your sampler, and multi outputs
Open the mixer, click the little + arrow at the bottom of that track, and it will make new outputs
Then route the samplers mixer's outs into these tracks and you are sorted.

You are using a sample plugin to use DFH?? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you or something.
I'm using Logic 7, and I need to usually create an environment, copy and paste instrument tracks, open DFHS on a master track, then assign the outputs to the individual tracks.
Hmmm, maybe there is an easier way! It sucks, because I like everything else about Logic.
thanks

except for editing features and no sample accuracy and the retarded way the snaps and moving and cutting work logic is awesome. i realize its a big part but im so used to the whole like workflow and environment i can't switch even to 8.
machinated how you figure L7 is best for editing next to PT. i'm not talking about midi (where logic is king) i am talking about editing multiple acoustic drum tracks.

Sorry I think you mis understood - I'm using L8
have you used 7? if so how big is the editing ability upgrade??? i have been meaning to pick up 8 for a while but just see no point since i have no issues except illogical audio editing. most people complain about the "floating" interface of 7 but i quite like it as i use the screensets and floating windows to my advantage and work quickly with pretty much everything except audio edits. so if you have experience in both i would appreciate the input as i am probably going to get 8 eventually.

I only used 7 a little bit and a while ago, but I find 8 way easier to use (maybe because I was less experienced with 7?). I think your workflows won't be changed (e.g. with the screensets), although I love being able to access something quickly by tapping a shortcut (e.g. mixer or inspector).
I remember a while ago looking at the updates in v8 and I'd say its worth going for (even just for the improved sound engine, better compressor etc). I think you'd enjoy quick swipe comping too.....

yeah i worked with 8 for a bit at someone else's studio and the comping was cool feature. i don't care for the compressors and stuff as i use aftermarket plugs anyway but just for the editing alone i am going to get it soon. thanks for your input.

I just thought I'd mention that Sptz did end up sending me his drum tracks.
I've got 2 of 3 songs finished. I'm a bit surprised at how fast I am at this (not trying to brag).

Then you should definitely start writing a detailed tutorial, so that the rest of us can improve our workflow and become better and faster at this.
