    Great stuff - I've learned a lot. I think the Midi tracks that come with your DAW or drum VST are great for getting ideas for beats and fills, but I've never actually used them in a song. Thanks!

    Awesome video. Very useful and clear. Many thanks.
    Only thing is I'm using Reaper and it has both a quantize and humanize function which both look different to the function you're using, so I'm not entirely sure which is the best to use and how.
    Anyone know?

    Hi , great video 👏🏻i have a question ,
    When I program drums with a keyboard I usually play a basic beat , Kick , Snare & Hi-hat. Then I play (on keyboard too) my open hihats , ghost notes & drum rolls, cymbals etc on a separate midi track, quantize later & bounce both tracks together into a wav, Is there a way to record the extra midi rolls etc all on the same track without wiping my basic beat ?
    Also what does the quantize swing button do ? Thanks

    How do you get SD3 drums into the midi field, I cant seem to get the midi file to be on the actual track. the track stays empty, all the audio plays from the SD3 plug in. Does that make sense?

  • @PhantaseaTV

    Fantastic tutorials. Thanks for posting! It is interesting for me though because i compose techno, electronlca etc ala Depeche Mode, and actually in these genres "humanizing" the drums is NOT good for the synthetic sound. Think "Blue Monday" by OMD for example. Just thought I'd mention the drum style will very much be affected by the genre.

    How does Superior go in terms of CPU power and storage? I absolutely NEED it but not sure if it’ll be too powerful for me

    • @LeviKellerMusic
      @LeviKellerMusic  3 года назад

      It is not bad at all for me personally for the CPU! As far as RAM, usually a drum kit when loaded in Superior seems to use around 3 gb of RAM, or so it says in the plugin (it shows you how much it uses). Maybe a bit more if you use extra mics, etc. I think it has over 200gb of sounds in total, but the great thing is that you can specify exactly what you want installed and loaded! So for example, you do not need to install the surround sound mics if you are not using them or do not have the hard drive space. It is a pretty well thought out system and seems like you would be able to run as heavy or light of a setup as you want, depending on what you need!

    hey, i have a question, i record my own samples, i use logic pro x and the built in multi sampler, usually set velocity to 127, on rolls it sounds robotic like it is overlapping to quick with a ugly clipping mid sound, the samples are good too, i feel like it has got to be a setting in the sampler or something,
    it seems so simple but i cant find anything anywhere!
    changing the velocity doesnt fix it, i listen to drums tracks that im refrencing to and the snare samples seem to be consistent in sound and volume, and sound similar to my own samples, is there something im missing? would appreciate it very much if you could maybe give some tips
    thanks!

    • @starpower2314
      @starpower2314 2 года назад +2

      i learned that turning the polyphony setting in the logic multi sampler to the highest number helped with what i was talking about, i just want to use one sample, not multiple hits or velocity's 👍

    What metronome speed are you working with?

    • @LeviKellerMusic
      @LeviKellerMusic  3 года назад

      The metronome setting in the project is at 72bpm!

  • @headwinded1948
    @headwinded1948 4 месяца назад

    If you're a drummer yourself, and know the song material, simply mic a practice pad, shut the click off, and record. Use that as the base track, and then match the your midi hits up to what you've done later on. Lots of top tier music was created with no click running at all, so if human / live is the vibe you're going for... :)
    If that's too extreme, drift the metronome / tempo of the song itself up and down a smidge.

    Hey. This was helpful and I enjoyed it. If I could make 1 suggestion: please slow down your speech a little. I actually had to check my settings to make sure I didn’t accidentally hit something to set the playback speed to 1.5. I really did like finding this topic and got something from it.

    A human brain does need time and breathing to correctly work.

      Programmed drum sounds never be as good as recorded sound. That's why most producers programmed it just for a demo, and then record for the best results.
