    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    Here's an older one from before I was as confident as I am now on the drums. I played all the parts, in separate parts, and had to edit some bits as my timing was not so good with being a crappy drummer. I guess the best thing about programmable drums, for the home record-ist who can't play so...

    What's everyone working on at the moment?

    I'm working on an album with an older friend who can no longer play. Building tracks around his ideas and adding my own little stamp to them. He's pleased with the results so far and it's nearing completion now. 11 tracks have taken quite a while to get done but it's been a sporadic recording...

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    The velocity of those hits are between 40 and 60%. As I explained above about adapting a lighter touch style of playing gets the most out of the E Kit with the software. I find with that the harder the hit, the more similar the samples sound. A lighter playing style give a much more dynamic...

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    I would recommend anyone, that has the option to, to get an E Kit. Just learning to play drums alone is great fun and opens up your options with recording digital drums. You get the added bonus of that "human" feel first and foremost but you also get get a better understanding of how it all fits...

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    I'm new to drumming but I've learnt to keep count/time with my left foot. I also move it off the pedal if the hats aren't required. It made sense to me. Saying that, I'm still in the 1&2&3&4& stage. My brain is counting with my feet and arms. I'm guessing I'll surpass that at some point and be...

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    The best thing I ever did was start learning to play drums. I first borrowed an electric kit off a friend to have a go before laying out the cash on one myself. (I didn't want to spend that kind of cash on something I might not take to.) In the very near future I'll have a real kit, mic'd up and...

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    It's a friend of mines song. I'm working with him to build an albums worth of songs for him. He struggles to play guitar now with his old hands so I'm doing all the instruments for him and he's just got the singing duties.

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    That was what I was going to suggest. Hearing drums solo'd and in the context of the mix would be useful. Here's an example of some drums I've done recently. I'm playing an Roland E-Kit (although I'm not a very good drummer yet!) triggering the EZDrummer2 main kit that I've tweaked a bit here...

    They Don't

    The google drive link not working here either. :confused: I think the track sounds great though. The initial lyrics and vocal sounds a little reminiscent of Leonard Cohen. (Not a bad thing IMO) Everyone else has commented on the mix and what they'd change. I'll just add that I really enjoyed...

    WTF is up with all these "Flight of the Bumblebee" guitar players?

    I just wish I never googled it and lived happily ever after in the ignorance of not knowing what it was. I just wasted about 5 minutes listening to shite played really fast that sounded, well, shite! Oh well, back to Rory Gallagher for me. :thumbs up:

    How I built a large following on SoundCloud

    In a nutshell that's what he wants you to think, from a pretend purchasers perspective. You've got to admire the sneaky way of getting his website in there though with just a brief mention. Not even a hotlink. Crafty and clever. A lot of people will buy his shit and then literally "buy his...

    How I built a large following on SoundCloud

    The old adage "if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is" comes into all that stuff. Likes, Listens, Views, Counts, etc don't really mean anything but people get themselves hung up on it and will buy that stuff when, I'm guessing, it's pretty easy to do it yourself, in reality. It's a sad...

    How I built a large following on SoundCloud

    A quick search brings up some interesting info on the brodel34 username. I won't post links, you all know how to google. He posted the same shit as here on a DnB forum yesterday but it looks like they removed it. Musician my arse. He's just one of those people that offers Likes, Plays, Views...

    PC won't pick up Microphone

    A mic won't work without a mic jack on your laptop. A mic plugged into a headphone jack will just act like another speaker and output sound, quietly.

    Need Help Extracting Vocals

    I never listened to them earlier and now wish I hadn't! Is this guy seriously trying to make a song like the "his" example. Why?

    Need Help Extracting Vocals

    Maybe google removing vocals from tracks and find other methods? A quick google shows different tools to use to achieve the goal. Trial, error and find the best way for you. I doubt anyone around here does it.

    Using a MXL 990 to record kick drum

    With those mics I would try recording the whole kit with the MXL990 somewhere in front of the kit. (A bit of trial and error with placement to get all the sounds even as possible) Then stick a 57 on the snare and kick and use them to add a bit more definition to them in the mix. Though I'm not...

    This is where I am and it's great fun learning. :thumbs up:
