How to Edit Live Drums
Before you can mix acoustically recorded (aka "live") drums you need to edit them. In this video I show you some of the techniques that I use to edit a live drum take and prepare it for the mixing process.

Universal Audio has added a ton of plugins to their Spark plugin package that can run natively on your Mac or PC. In this video I take a look at the package and share my feelings about the plugins that are offered, which ones I'm using, and whether or not this is something you may want to consider investing in.

      Hi! Unfortunately I do not currently have access to a p16 system, but as soon as I do I certainly will. In the meantime I would suggest exploring the p16 section of the routing options in the X32. It's pretty similar to the other routing options.

      @EdMcCraeMusic 14 дней назад

      If you use the chapter links in the description you can jump to the finished product at 7:22 to see the sounds coming out of their separate channels. The midi will be recorded on the channel where the instrument plugin is and all of the audio will come out of the separate tracks you’ve created for each instrument.

    Nice clip..I am on the fence about a stereo unit the Neve 1073 Dbx or two RND Newton channels I may end up getting both options or get the neveDPX and two RND 500 series 542 tape emulator yep I think the last option is the best,,cause I for sure need the Neve dpx unit but getting 2 Newton channels would just cost too much and the reason I wanted those was for the silk red and blue circuits..but your choice of the WA73 is a great upgrade…those vocal stacks sounded nice bro..

    • @EdMcCraeMusic
      @EdMcCraeMusic 14 дней назад

      Yes, all of the midi will be on the one track but each sound will be coming out of it’s own separate track for mixing. You can then choose to bounce each track individually if you need to export them separately for mixing in a different DAW.

    Question my brother: At my church we got an X32 that is going to be used for streaming only separately from FOH in a separate room. My question is, what would be the best way to set up the studio monitors to hear the mix in the room? Should I use a matrix to my studio monitors and a matrix to the outs that I will send to the Atem mini in the streaming computer?

    • @EdMcCraeMusic
      @EdMcCraeMusic 2 месяца назад

      Hey! I don't believe a matrix to the studio monitors is necessary. I would connect the monitors to the monitor outputs so you can control their volume separate from the main. Then send a matrix of the Main LR to the Atem mini.

Let's just say I know one time somebody tried plugging a piano up stereo into a mono Direct box I'm like nooooooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sometimes bass amps xlr may have a bad output so I will ask the bassist to plug into the direct box then I use the thru into their amp and send the output to my console/interface.
