![]() I also do a track of the entire kit and use that as kind of a room mic. ![]() Hats and ride still have their own tracks. All of the crashes/china however I have on one track. So, a track of only snare, only kick, each tom, etc. I bounce each part of the kit to individual tracks so I have more control for mixing. Next, I need to get the drums into my DAW. All I do is pan how I want the kit to be arranged and get basic level adjustments. While I'm able to, I do not use any processing on the drum tracks at this stage - no eq, reverb, etc. I load samples in and program accordingly, basically selecting which beats of the measure I want hit on a grid. I haven't buckled down and upgraded my drum software yet so I just stick with that because I know it so well at this point. It's a standalone program and not integratable with my DAW (Reaper). ![]() I have an old program from Acoustica called "Beatcraft". I know there's no "one size fits all approach" but i'm always looking for tips and knowledge.įirst off let me explain my method of getting the drum tracks in the first place as it's probably different than many of you. My main question is in regards to use of compression (if any) but I'm also curious to hear what type of processing (eq, reverb, limiting, etc) people tend to gravitate toward when mixing a programmed kit. I have some questions about mixing programmed drums as they obviously have a different feel and I would imagine require a slightly different technique than a mic'd kit. First off, I did run a quick search and didn't see much on this so forgive me if this has been covered.
