the raw drums sounded insanely good going in. real drums recorded well in metal make such a difference its crazy

@blacksaona 4 жыл бұрын

These were not raw, those sounds are processed in real time by analog gear. Thats why it sounds so punchy already without any plugins.

@@RobKingRC Ohh well, thats a good point, but i think it depends of how are the drums played and recorded. Most great albums use samples of the same drum session. (When you tell the drummer to hit just the snare, kick, toms independently, so you can actually get the whole sustain of each one and compress it), THERE IS NO WAY to get the most sustain of a snare in a room mic without having it being masked from other instruments (like cymbals). A snare sounds good alone, but when is all together, its gone. So autosampling it is a good way to get the most of your sounds without "cheating" cuz ur using real drum of the same drum session.

Will, you are the man! Thanks for doing this. This is the first time I've heard of "key spikes" (spelling?) would love a short tutorial on that with best practices.

@DavideGuerri 4 жыл бұрын

easiest way to do them is to duplicate the original track and use the slate trigger gate with almost no sustain and hold time. another way to do that would be recording triggers on the shells.

There’s a video of Machine mixing lamb of god on URM where he shows the key spikes. I’d assume they’d be fairly similar
