@@morbidmanmusic I actually do. But as a mixing engineer , drum replacement programs that beef up the live drums help makes the record sound more polish especially if one shots are ran through expensive high end analog gear which I can’t afford. Why should I just leave the drum track naked and make the client feel he or she can’t get the quality they deserve with the budget they spent? Let me say this.. listen to anderson paak album/ Bruno Mars They use live drums with this same concept Stack drums and breaks and the best engineers will tell you the secret is in the drum replacement and ghosting So it’s not anything offensive to say this is used I.

They copied the loop actually. Which sounds better imho. But you won't hear that at the end because of levels mismatch with the bass. But if you go back when they first played you hear it much better. It's much more rounder and compact sounding while still having depth. And not a steriel kick in front of the mix and snare somewhere in a room in the back feeling detached from each other.

Layering is the whole game! Yeah seriously, using ‘shitty’ sounding real stuff is the special sauce, especially when you’re using super clean sources like machines/samples. Every producer should have a hihat in their studio at least, no joke. Toss a 57 up on it, play it in. Even if your timing is off and you have to fix it. Just get some realness in there. If you don’t have a hihat, use a metal knife on something. Just get some real texture. 👌

If the end product is good, who cares? And where do you draw the line on what you "make yourself"? Did you play it on a keyboard/synth? You just pushed a button and a sound someone else made is coming out. If you hand select a kick from some other source, you didn't make that either. If you smash a hammer on an actual kick drum and record it, did you make it then? Or did the manufacturer of the drum make it, and you're just recording what they made? Does this distinction really matter?

@wesleyleigh40633 жыл бұрын
I think drum loops are almost always unusable, because even if the kick and snare like really gel together or are tonally relevant to the track, there's always something else thats missing, like the hihat is too loud of high frequency, or there isn't enough variation in the beat etc etc. also you can't process the individual hits seperately, unless you automate the EQ and the kick and snare don't hit on the same beat, and if you do it usually sounds bad due to the fidelity of the sample itself. so yeah they are good for getting an idea, but then your left to recreating said idea once your collaborator or vocalist is down with it.

They're saying that as musicians/producers their process is to make as much of their own sounds as possible - it's what makes their sound so recognizable. I'd imagine after 19 years of producing (Chromeo formed in 2002) it's easier for them make their own loops than try to fix the ones they use on demos. Considering their music and the equipment in their studio (there's a tour video on YT) you can tell that they just genuinely have fun patching and playing synths.

Am I the only one here who is skeptical? (didn't read all the reactions have to say). These guys tab themselves on the back, saying they make their own loops and using someone else's loops they think is a bit cheating and corny... . Well, what you guys show in this vid, that's exactly what you do. Take someone else his loop and use it. The only thing you do is change the original sounds with other sounds and use some layers (and probably some fx/comp). Everyone can do that. Everyone can chop up a loop with his software and has a zillion drum sounds in his library these days to change the sounds of a loop. The real genius lies in the groove of the loop and which sounds are used (snare here, hihat there, etc, not the actually sound of that snare/hihat) and when these sounds hit at a certain time point. That is what makes a loop great. When you are taking a great loop and change the sounds, you are NOT making your own loop. You are stealing/borrowing or whatever, the loop from someone else his genius. Don't get me wrong; I don't care if someone uses a loop from somebody else, I do it all the time. But don't take the credits for it by just cutting it up and changing the sounds, put some layers over it and then call yourself a hip hop purist or whatever guy who makes his own loops.... .
