This is my first recording project using GrageBand, I have all my tracks down, now I'm in my mixing stage.
All my drums tracks are from the midi-based drum loops that was bundled in GarageBand Some edited, some not.
Problem is, the drums sound flat/lifeless/sterile, no matter what I do with it - I've controled the velocity of each hit, I've messed with comp, reverb, I've separeted them in different tracks & panned.
So people help me out here, are there any tricks/techniques/guidelines you use to make midi/loop drums "come to life"? I'm not saying it needs to sound like a real drummer, it's just that I've heard midi drums sound alot more dynamic than what I hear from my song.
