Mixing Pro Modern Drums: Blending Sampled Drums with Acoustic Drums | Reverb Recording Techniques 

great video jay, any tips on replacing drums with hanna barbera samples

I recorded samples of my drumskit because I wanted my signature sound and wanted to use them just like midi (placing everything perfectely on time)...the sound I achieved is great if I listen to each part of my kit separately but It doesn't work when I listen all together, especially with the other tracks of the songs (Guitar, bass, keyboard, voice)...why? It's just a matter of equalization? Pre-amp? Cymbals sound good, snare and tom/floor tom not so much, they have no punch and clarity... Sorry for my english and my no knowledge. Thank you.

Well put-together and extremely useful. Thanks!

Please get Jay Maas to do more videos! This video was super helpful!

This is the most well done video of its kind out there, thankyou! I do however find it odd that people find the need to comment that they don't like the music, because it exists, it takes a ton of skill technically, and this is a post about production not songwriting...just following suit, putting in my negative 2 cents lol

Great video of a peek into mix processes and techniques!

10:17 What are horribly distorted sound!

Weird that you got a message about blending acoustic and midi drums while filming, this has been my stuck point for the past week or so, and the reaper tutorials do a great job, but this was definitely more in depth. Thanks!

The main problem with hitpoints is, that they are not perfectly accurate timing wise. They could start before the hit, or in the middle of it. So, the only way is to manually edit each hitpoint to start right at the beginning of the drum hit, or we will get flams between live hits and samples and phase betwenn different hits is going to be all over the place. Slate Trigger works better, but even it makes such mistakes sometimes.

I'm not a rock or metal hater but these are quite painful to listen to, no dynamics left. Go further, and you have a big white noise..

Cool! I'm a big fan of Roland drum samples myself. They seem to be very usably voiced from the get go.

tut makers would do well to at least volume balance their sample demos with their speaking voice.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume the reason for recording the kick separate from the rest of the kit had less to do with the sonic impact in the overheads and more to do with the drummer’s performance. Much easier to fix a drummers bad performance in midi than it is to get a decent take live. Classic “fix it in the mix” drum track.

Great video, but I can't get over on the "ad vibe to sell me something" this have

Now that's called learning ❤ great teaching 👌👌👌❤

I'm having a try at adapting recorded live drums to fit exactly with the MIDI track they are based on, all the hits are pretty well the same most of the time ;-) So far I'm trying flextime to quantise the live drums - and the MIDI drums, so far they are still flamming a bit

Jay is a real champion. This is a killer run through.

I hate that kind of dull repetitive bland metal.

Cool video. Does someone have the problem in Trigger that the hits aren't sync properly? This is not due when syncing the midi file, it happens with all the hits.

Super useful info..Big time Thanks

This right here is the problem with modern rock. Zero feel. Everything is just lined to a grid and on top of that you add samples. So boring and generic.

sound dark like shit...

Noice!

awesome

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hated the music, but the information was useful. Thanks

Rock n Roll turned in its grave when you published this video

this right here is the problem with modern music. Learn to record live drums properly so you don't have to fix them like this in the mix
