I record drums in my room and I only have enough inputs on my interface for overheads and close mics. A while ago, I watched a SpectreSoundStudios video where Glenn was very adamant about room mics. After watching that video, I did some experimentation on my own and ended up making a sim room channel exactly the way you did it! I've followed your Logic Pro X guides when I first started maybe 2 or 3 years ago, when I first downloaded Logic Pro X, and after all this time, this video shows up on my recommended. I'm honored that I was able to figure out a technique that you've been using and I just gotta say thanks for all the videos you've done! It's really helped me out over the years!
This first trick is great, I’ve been doing individual transient processing for each drum and usually with a latency heavy plugin like Neutron - very CPU heavy as well!
Useful, knowledge based sharing 🇹🇹🔥 ...your use of the envelope was like a compressor and gate. I've never used it but it seemed so easy and made so much sense. I'm thinking, in the almost million mix vids I've seen, this is the first vid that used it.
This was a really effective technique and it was explained quickly, thoroughly, and in a way I think even beginners could understand. (I should know- beginner here) I’ll definitely be trying this tonight
Thanks for this advice using eg with aux, its got me around a lot of audio problems when the mix gets heavy and the drums start to fade away, triple thumbs up!!!
Jeez. Great having so many excellent tutorials at your fingertips. Man, you must give lectures in this stuff. Thanks a whole lot. Now that I'm talking...perhaps you could give me some direction on adding a drum track to a song I recorded? The drums I already used sound terrible. Where should I upload it so you can listen?
Cool stuff, well explained. One thing to watch out for in Logic is that pre-fade sends are also pre-pan. So if you send them (a pre-fade send) to a stereo aux they'll all still be right up the centre regardless of where the channel they're being sent from is panned.
Very Cool. I love the idea of sub-mixing down to several separate textures, rather that stacking them on a single bus, (ie. one bus that contains eq, compression, reverb, etc.) This puts a lot of creative control in your hands when it comes down to mixing the tracks with the rest of the performance. Well done sir! love your videos
I was avoiding transients in the 2nd example, that's why I didn't use a FET comp. I've got the transients in the dry signal/punch aux, I just want the woofy, boomy sound in the smash aux.
Thank you 🙏! Great demonstration with useful tips and tolls. Appreciate you bro. Peace ✌️ Back to mission control! 😂 (for me) I’m working on getting a great kit sound out of a dead room. No worries, there are no bodies on the floor.
When you use the presets with the multi output drummer tracks, they have room channels and overhead channels with the drums in them. You can enable or disable each drum in the rooms and overheads.
You mean the preset sends Logic adds to Drummer tracks? Yeah, it's a simulated Room, like I did here. Some third party drum sample instruments actually allow you to control the level of the room mics and overhead mics. (the samples are multi-channel). Drummer doesn't let you do that. It only separates them into 5 stereo channels -- Cymbals, Kick, Snare, Toms and Perc. If there's some overhead and room control in Drummer, I've never seen it?
@@MusicTechHelpGuy You have to choose one of the producer kits to get the overhead and room mic tracks. The basic kits just have the 5 tracks, but if you use one of the kits under the producer kits category, then you get a separate room mic track, an overhead track, even a leak track, among a few other things.
what if I want a MONO kick? my bus is mono but my delay in the bus is only affecting Left side... I added an Utility > Gain with convert to mono but it's still not mono.
Great stuff as always. However Logic’s drummer does have overheads, room a, room b and leak tracks. You have to use the “Producer +” kits. They all have the same kit names however you need to drill down under the folder name “Producer +”
what happened to them the link goes to nothing goes to related search I actually use to buy from them and saw this clicked on it thought I show support but wired I don't know maybe the changed the website name or something
Super helpful stuff! Especially that first “punch” bus! One issue I had was that When I loaded up Space Designer, I didn’t have all those room presets like you had. How do I get those?
