Let's turn these draft drums into some polished, production-ready drums! As I work on the drums, I take you along for the ride as I explain the concepts behind what I'm doing! hopefully this can be helpful to people trying to improve their drum programming.

Main lesson: don't get precious about the sounds you first select. Sometimes you have to be ruthless and replace an element you have spent an eternity on!

@jellycoding 2 года назад

I often do that with hi hats. I'm tweaking and tweaking for a long time and sometimes over several sessions and when I finally delete the hi hat it feels so good when it's gone.

@@jellycoding export your single track to audio though and keep in your samples for another project. Then at least all the hard work wasn’t all for nothing!👍🏼

I find myself getting stuck with "that's how it sounds" and sometimes lose sight of the fact that I can change the sounds or the rhythm if it feels so robotic or locked down. I really appreciate the tutorials and techniques you share.

@mtennantmusic 2 года назад

the thing that has worked well for me is just coming up with a beat I like then stacking it with 4 to 5 different drum racks. I don't know if this is a common practice or not but I often get some really interesting beats. The one thing that kills me is not knowing how to eq the beats the way you do.

When you group drum samples (like high hats, snares, kick etc.) In one channel mixer. Then you can easily compress them or saturate. And it saves space :)

Is it cold in your studio Oscar?

@partypizza519 2 года назад

Bro, you have cool videos and thank you for your hard work. But it all sounds too simple, entry-level. Forgive me for that, but I've been trying to achieve this sound for years. If you listen to tracks from well-known techno labels, then the sound there is rich, not trivial. What exactly do they do to sound like that? I'm from Russia and I don't have the opportunity to go to a professional studio where they make techno music. Or talk to famous musicians. Maybe you have such an opportunity?

@iqnill 2 года назад

Here's a loop, let's change the sounds, the pattern and timing - there, I fixed it. LOL

@nobordersnoflags9905 2 года назад

I really appreciate these videos but in this case, sonically I preferred the original drums. I think this is a great lesson in production but sometimes the sonic aesthetics of low / no production are more pleasing to the ears.

@klubstompers 2 года назад

I like what he did with the kicks and snare, but prefer the the spacey loop on top of the original. I also really liked the panned echo, almost maraca sound, that rolled threw the loop. It really brought the loop around and tied it in with a cool groove.

@forwardmemory5940 2 года назад

Best way to fix it would be using sounds that you know ... sound like ACTUAL drums. These electronic thumps and snaps sound NOTHING like drums. If you cant afford real drums, at least get a vst that does the same thing, there's many for free, then it will sound better.
