In Reaper 6.18, I'm using the MDrumReplacer plugin. It has a 'Subtract side-chain' feature but I've been unable to get it to function. I'm waiting to hear back from MeldaProductions.... 'Hello everyone. Ive been trying to get the Subtract side-chain feature working. So far, I believe the...

If your planning on using samples to replace your drums, should that be kept in mind when setting up the kit. For example, the drums you plan on replacing with a sample, shouldn’t you think of it more as a trigger rather than a perfectly tuned resonating drum? Wouldn’t it be better if there were...

With VUMT in Standard VU mode, Type-RMS, Trim Level- 0.0, Hold and Value ticked. Question: During a track recording playback, does the orange Hold needle indicate the Average? The number it most lands on also corresponds to the Value most indicated on the left lower corner. Thanks!

Hi guys. I'm doing some traveling and just bought a Traveler Guitar with a gig bag that conveniently happens to have an iPad Pocket. I use an old 2008 MBP that gets so heavy it defies the term portability and I'm not looking forward to dragging it along with me again. So I'm contemplating...

Hi guys. Sorry, I've done a Search, theres' a ton of posts on this topic, but I still find it confusing :( Anyhow, I'm recording guitar and vocals into Garageband. I have 4 main devices I'm using. A 2008 MacBook Pro, TC Helicon Voicelive Play GTX, Presonsus Firepod and Fender Mustang amp. My...

Hi guys. I love some of the amp models in Garageband 10.0.2. I'm playing an electric guitar (Gibson CS-336) using a Rocksmith 1/4" to USB cable into a MacBook Pro and it works great. I've always used my Audio-Technice M50's but recently decided to play aloud using my Fender Mustang III solid...

Hey everyone. I've been able to play guitar and drums to form a decent melody. Now I've composed a song to go with it and want to do the singing. However I've never sung anything other than in the shower and my singing has much to be desired. I've been following along to many Youtube 'how to...

How does Darren King of Mutemath get that unbelievably great sound from his kit? I'm sure he's at very least using lots of EQ and Compression but just judging by his heavily gaff'd heads and same size toms with vastly different sounds, he must be using various Fx plugins and VST samples too...

Hi, Can I use the wav files of Superior Drummer in Reaper? In other words, I'm recording an acoustic drum kit using mic's and an audio interface to my MacBook Pro via Firewire. Can I click on a FX tab on a Track and select Superior Drummers wav. files just as I would a VST/AU? My Presonus...

Anybody using this Plugin in? There's not allot of explanation in their User Manual. My question is, whats the difference in using Room vs Overhead mic settings? Is one literally meant to focus on the 'room' and the other more the kit? Thanks JJP Cymbals and Percussion Plugin | Waves...

I used the Search engine, read many, many posts, downloaded several Plug-ins but still haven't found an answer. I'm looking for Plug-ins to use while recording my drum kit. Specifically, a Compressor, EQ and Reverb. I use Reaper (some of the Cockos plug-ins aren't too bad) and a MacBook Pro so...

I've built a small drum room in my garage. It's a 'box within a box' roughly 10'x10' in the shape of a pentagon in the corner. Though smaller than I would like it's very well built with double layers of 5/8" drywall, sound deadening insulation and Green Glue. From outside my garage at midnight...

I've heard some recordings using a single overhead to capture the drums and it sounded great! I like the idea of not having to deal with XY, YX, scooby doo, whatever, and phasing issues. I've heard good things about the AT 4040. Would that make a decent single OH mic? Or, would you guys...

When recording drums is it generally the goal to subtly add Eq and Effects, ie add more lows to the bass or is it to subtract from the sounds, ie lows from the cymbals to get the desired sound? Once your kit is correctly tuned and your room is correct acoustically shouldn't, generally speaking...

I have a Sonor Force 1007 that I would like to record some covers with. I know it's Sonor's low end kit but it's my first acoustic kit (I used to play a Roland electronic drum set) and it's just a start :) Anyhow, they are cheaper 9ply basswood shells, 10/12/14/20. Does anybody here have...

I would like to be able to make changes to Audio, such as Latency, while using Superior drummer as a Plug In in Reaper. When I open Superior Drummer via Toontrack the Options tab is clearly at the top left of the page. However, in Reaper when I click on a Tracks FX tab, Plug Ins, VSTi, and...

Hi guys. I have a Roland TD-12 drum module plugged into a Presonus Firepod via the MIDI ports on both. The Firepod is connected to a MacBook Pro via Firewire using Reaper. In Reaper, MIDI Devices, I have the Firepod 'Enabled' as both the Input and Output Device and in the Routing for track, MIDI...

Is there a DAW that's not only good for recording but also known for it's video editing capabilities? I want to videotape myself playing drums while recording into a DAW then edit the two together. I've messed around using a Sony HD Bloggie and Audition and then used Garageband to mate the two...

I've recorded myself playing drums into Audition while video taping at the same time. Now I want to replace the video cameras audio with the audio from Audition. Is it as easy as importing the video into Audition (which should show two tracks, one audio/one video) then align the two audio...

I'm still new to recording and have been messing around with mic placement on my drum kit. Recently I read an article about a simple and effective setup called the Glyn Johns Technique. I'm sure on HomeRecordings forums are familiar with Glyn Johns but it is new to me. It involves very few mics...
