Chopping Live Drums In Studio One 6  

Ah yes.. All Together Separate, the Earth Wind and Fire of Christian rock. Riverside's finest. Loving these videos, Caleb!

Nice video man. I have come to find that using only the kick and snare tracks as "guides" to slice and then quantize all drum tracks works best for me. That way I can preserve a lot of the natural feel of the performance but get the downbeats nice and tight to the grid. The way to do that is to (1) bend marker detect only the snare and kick, (2) group all drum tracks, and then (3) select only kick and snare tracks as guides in the edit menu.

I don't use Studio One and I don't edit live instruments (I'm just a voice guy :) but I enjoy seeing your process and hearing you explain the "why" behind the "what". Love you, bro!

I love how you make fun of the SW Missouri accent ("Dill"). hahaha. My wife is a Missouri native (I am not) and we joke all the time about her accent (it's a big dill, hahahah). She also struggles with the word "groin"... Sounds more like "growin" when she says it. Too funny. But also, great video.

Super interesting. Like i do drums a completely different way, and when i see "chop" in regards to music i think of sample chopping. Like maybe its because i didn't like touch a guitar and made house music out of soul and disco songs for almost 2 years till this yearish or technically 2023 sometime i guess, but i think of it more in an edm way when i see "drum chopping". Tbh i want more organic live playing if i ever do another thing, but since i doubt it will happen and drummers are hard to come by i doubt i ever do. Love seeing your process.
