Logic Pro Drummer is an application within Logic Pro X that stands alone in drum creation software. It allows you to build your drum tracks via a powerful AI that analyzes your song as opposed to feeding you pre-recorded loops. I've tried Logic Pro Drummer alternatives but nothing helps me approach the feel and creativity that Drummer does. However, it's not perfect. In this logic pro drummer tutorial I show you how you can elevate the drum tracks you create with drummer and give them a more huma feel. If you want to learn how to create drum patterns in logic pro x that feel more natural then check out this tutorial.

I tend to use Logic drummer without fills, cut where I want fills, go to Logic loops for fills and slot them in. If fills are not quite right I alter them in piano roll.

But do your fill samples have the same sound?
@joewilliams5396 2 жыл бұрын
@@RayyMusik I've found Logic matches the project sounds not the loop sound. If you use live recorded loops with effects inbedded they can be tricky. Logic drummer uses midi as you may know so midi loops are best. I find it takes too much time fidling with logic drummer to fine tune it, so I just get it roughly right.

@liamdunne8168 2 жыл бұрын
I’ve been using Logic for many years and your process for editing Drummer is almost identical to mine. I had the same issues with drum fills. Logic automatically plays fills at the end of a bar in relation to the assigned time signature, not the length of the selected region. So after making cuts the drummer still caters it’s fills at the end of the bar and not where we want it. I usually find that dialing the fill level down instead of up helps find an appropriate flow and keeping it minimalistic makes editing in midi easier. Once your happy with your drums you can easily bounce the midi file into individual audio tracks for every drum for better mixing. My favorite lazy trick…. If you have EZ Mix 2, put “Master 2” on the end of your drummer track and it sounds amazing with one click!!
@LonelyRocker 2 жыл бұрын
Nice! Yes, it can be finicky. I play with the fill level, intensity and complexity until it starts to work. And for mixing, I do that too. I didn't get into mixing in this video but I split them out as well and mix it properly as if they were real drums. I've never tied EZ Mix...maybe I should... :)))))

A new phrase will be created with the same dynamics.

Hey Lonely Rocker, that was an excellent tutorial !!! It is extremely similar to the way I do Drums in LPX, I have literally tried every drum plugin known to man; just wanted to give you an FYI that I discovered and I never saw on any tutorials; you can load a drummer track with regions and then literally "reset channel strip" and then load BFD, EZ Drummer or Kontakt on the same track and still have the full functionality of a "drummer" track (auto fills, swing, etc) on your preferred drum samples, of course in the end you will convert to MIDI for scalpel editing, but my approach gives you a better representation before converting to MIDI :)
@LonelyRocker Жыл бұрын
Awesome...thank you. Glad you enjoyed that. Yours is a neat tip too. I do A LOT of editing in the piano roll to really customize it and now in LPX you can't use the step editor anymore to edit the Drummer track. Not sure why they took that feature away. I find no matter what I do I can't get it perfect with just drummer. It gets me maybe 70-80% of the way there and then I do deep editing in MIDI to take it up one more notch. Thanks for checking this out!
@audialsavant2658 Жыл бұрын
@@LonelyRocker I forgot this last issue in LPX, when converting "Drummer" tracks to MIDI, you will notice that that the HIHats of Notes with the same MIDI velocity can sound totally different and drive you crazy... there is a hidden value (in the event list) of the "articulation" this value basically sets which Hihat sample is played, drove me nuts, I once had closed hihHats that all sounded like open hats due to a different "articulation" when drummer converted to MIDI

I was already following the first part (cutting up drummer pattens to have better breaks and fills) but I understand the need to go a step further.

Yes. Drummer is designed around the edit points. Best to make all of the edits first, get those working and then tweak the performance. NEVER get attached to anything until you have followed that order. The attempt at making drummer more “human” also makes it more unpredictable. That’s just how it is….

I’ve actually tried that with mixed results but it’s a good way to try and find a different feel for sure….nice tip!

Super helpful video. Is it necessary to do any MIDI remapping between Logic Drummer and EZDrummer?
@LonelyRocker 10 ай бұрын
Glad it helped! An no. Logic Drummer and EZ Drummer don’t talk to each other. Once you flip it to the piano roll it maps seamlessly. But you can tweak that too if you want. But it’s easier to change the drums within EZ Drummer. Hope that helps!

Great tutorial! We had developed a similar workflow but you added the idea of cutting up the regions and applying different fill settings before converting to midi. Couple points... in converting between drum programs how did you handle the different formats used? I think drummer defaults too GM. We'd like to import the midi to the Abbey Road kits in Kontakt. Also, I was unable to open the Step Editor for the drummer regions, only midi worked. Running version 10.5.1 of Logic. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Truth is I'm not a power midi user. 99% of my midi work is what you see in this video. Occasionally I'll lay some keyboards down but not often. Once the performance is on a software track it should apply to any VST. Sometimes you may need to reassign the instruments but midi is generally mindless within the DAW. If Kontakt works as a VST on a track you should simply be able to drag the midi onto the Kontakt track. You can also export any midi track in your projects to an external midi file that you can then import into any other application. You access that from the file menu with the track highlighted. As for the Step editor I just open the Step Editor and highlight the track I want to edit and it works. I've seen others asking about this. For some it's greyed out. I'm not sure why. I can't replicate this issue.

Thanks! Yes, just like a real drummer you push ahead of the tempo or pull behind...it's a feel thing...

Hey new visitor and really appreciate this video on getting Drummer to sound even more realistic than it already is. Quick question though…. after you created that superior drummer software instrument track and copied the midi from logic drummer, shouldn’t you mute logic Drummer? I saw later at 26:00 that you did mute Anders but didn’t hear you mention it.
@LonelyRocker Жыл бұрын
You know...that was a silly oversight on my part. Yes, I did mute it. I really should have mentioned that!! Great observation!

Great job and tutorial, thank you. Do you then take your piano roll midi and separate each instrument for processing and further mixing (i.e. snare, overheads, kick to specific routing)? I'm experimenting with Drummer Producer kit

amazing vid, great stuff. however when i go to open step editor its greyed out for drummer regions. it worls for MIDI regions. how are you opening it for drummer regions? cheers.
@LonelyRocker Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah, a lot of people have asked about this. Logic removed this option since the version I was using to make this video. No idea why. BUT, you can follow all of my steps and make the fine tune adjustments in the piano roll. Just get it as tight as you can before moving onto that stage. I'm doing that now nad still getting great results...

This is such a great tutorial! Thanks for doing it. I am a new logic user and I am learning a ton. One question: After you get logic drummer set up pretty well, you convert it to a midi track using EZ drummer. If I do not have easy drummer, can I somehow convert the track to midi and edit it the same way but just using logic drums? Thanks again.
@LonelyRocker 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! GLad you liked it. No, you don't need EZ Drummer. I showed you in the video how to copy it to a midi track. You can sue Logic's built in Drum sounds instead. There are some great sounds there...

Hello, very helpful video. I can't seem to open the step editor on the virtual drummer track. When I do, it's blank and does not show any of the drum hits. Has something changed? Any help appreciated. thanks
@LonelyRocker Жыл бұрын
Yes. If you fish through the comments this has been asked numerous times. For some reason this feature has been disabled since the version I used here. Not sure why. But still follow my steps and save the fine tuning for the piano roll stage. Still works great.
