URGENT: Quick Slip Edit Help

[NSGUITAR]

So, I have a blast beat where the snare and kick are supposed to line up for every hit. I'm using Adam Watthans technique when editing/quantizing drums. But for some reason when I go to snap the snare onto the grid, the kick is still a tiny bit off, but when I go to snap the KICK to the grid, that obviously moves the snare to being too early. Can you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm having trouble visualising what you are describing exactly.
any chance you could upload a screenshot of the particular hits we're talking about?

The kick and snare are supposed to be hitting the same grid line.

I mean. I was thinking about ungrouping the kick from the rest of the drums, but when I tired that it obviously went out of phase in the overhead mics and just sounded messy.

I had that problem too. Not exactly with blastbeats but with other parts where snare/kick are supposed to be hit at the same time. What I did was editing everything but the kick and than edit the kick on it's own. I had no phase problems because the kick was allmost completely silent on the oh's (HPF at 600hz).

Okay. That's what I was going to end up doing, but I wasn't sure if it was the correct way of doing it! Thanks for the reply dude.

Yes that is the correct way of dealing with that situation. When the drummer sucks compromises have to be made!

this won't help you now - but in the future just get him to not play the kick in those sections, or only play half the hits, or whatever you need to do.

I really appreciate your guys' punctuality with this! Thanks a ton! =)

I did this recently. Worked a treat... except the drummer still didn't get his parts right... which we found out later while tracking guitars :Smug:

Yeah I do this all the time, as long as the drummer isn't an egomaniac who outright refuses to do it this is the way to go when tracking a shitty drummer who plays lots of double bass.

Get a lot of those kind.
