YES! It may seem tedious, but put the work in! Imagine setting up a drum kit, mics, various takes, editing... Using drum software saves so much time and energy, you might as well put that into a great midi performance 🤘

I’m mental I will go one by one per hit and change the velocity and imagine which hits should be more emphasized by a drummer

Thank you for this video. You just saved me probably weeks worth of time long term.

Great Video.I'm on about year 4 of working with midi drums steady. I do have drum room and acoustic drums but for convenience im using midi drums 90 percent of time. It's taken a lot of time to humanize midi drums, superior drummer 3 has been my favourite program so far.

Quick tip, Ive always found it easier to program drums inside of GuitarPro and then export into DAW or drum sampler of choice.

Awesome video! For your "Live snare" track are you just using the close snare mics from Superior? Or is that also including ambience mics?

Hint: 95% of the consumers are not going to hear any difference. There was a situation with the first Dream Theater album without Portnoy where they played the demo tracks for the label and the A&R guy told them to just release what they provided. It was raw Superior files. To my point I do all the steps in this video usually but, there comes a time when you have to realize time is money.

Wow great, great content! Where can I get some 3rd party metal/rock drum samples for this kind of replacement?

Wow, I was surprised to find that I do most of this already. Lol. Not nearly as well of course. Something I do, because I don't have a massive library of samples available to me, is I duplicate my snare track for instance, and I process the snot out of it to get something specific I need from it. I often use a pitch shift on this sample to move the tone around, I use hard EQ, COMP and SAT/DIST to really change the character of the sample as much as I can, and then I blend it in with the original sample from the Free library I use. It helps just move my snare into different territory than the Free library which sounds incredible common and simple.

The one thing I noticed is most of the robotic feel comes from the hats so I try to spend more time on this. One can go crazy about changing every drum hit but I am not going to do it.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I'VE EVER SEEN

1. What about compression when using midi drums? Do you use compressors and when? At the "recording"/production or the mixing stage? What type? I am asking this because we know that these samples are compressed already.

2. What if the samples are more compressed than needed. How do you save that? By making the velocity range bigger for example?

Great video, thanks!

I link my GGD to my Roland kit, works a treat, you couldn't tell their midi 👀😝x

Man, I record the drums by using an e-drums machine and after that I just go over the whole stuff, beat by beat, correcting mistakes (I'm no drummer), improving the feel, humanizing, adjusting awkward beats and adding ghost notes. It is super tedious and takes me forever, but it's coming out ok.
