Recording Drum Tracks Names
In this course, filmed on location in one of the best drum-recording rooms in Los Angeles, EastWest Studios, GRAMMY-winning recording engineer Ryan Hewitt explains his techniques for capturing drum sounds. Ryan brings in the 'Drum Doctor,' Ross Garfield, Los Angeles's premier drum technician, and a handpicked kit from Ross's stash of 400 drum sets. Ryan and Ross work together to set up and mic up the drum kit, getting it ready for A-list drummer Josh Freese (of Devo and A Perfect Circle) to come in the next day to record.
- Feb 01, 2013 But according to legendary producer Daniel Lanois (U2) the magic number is 24: If you can’t do it on 24 tracks, there’s a problem. – Daniel Lanois, Producer (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel) Now what does Lanois mean when he suggests you have a problem if you’re topping the “magic” 24 track.
- Suppose we have the individual drums of a drum kit coming in on separate tracks for multitrack recording. In the mix, we can easily change the volumes of the individual drums, but adjusting the volume of the entire drum kit against the rest of the music is less convenient. Therefore, we add a new audio track to submix the drums.
Like a virtual studio internship, this course offers the opportunity to watch the pros at work in a real drum-recording session in a top LA studio. Hi, I'm Ryan Hewitt, and I'm gonna share some tips and techniques for you to make your drums sound great, in a recording studio.
As a former drummer myself, I know how baffling it can be to try to tune a drum set, and make it sound great. It's gotta be ready and prepared to go into a recording studio before you can even put a microphone on it. We're here at EastWest Studios, in Hollywood, California, a place I assisted long ago, to get some amazing drum sounds in this room. Good drum sounds for a great record start with an amazing-sounding kit. We have Ross Garfield, the Drum Doctor, coming down with some really nice drums. He's gonna teach us how to set 'em up, how to make them sound good in the studio, change heads, tune 'em, treat 'em.We're then gonna mic up the drums, we're gonna hear 'em in a control room, with a Neve console, and some great processing gear. After we get the kits sounding good, we're gonna have Josh Freese, one of the most recorded drummers in rock history, come in to play a great song for you.
