Hi Friends, to tighten or not too tighten? It really does depend on the genre and the desired effect! I'm currently working on a Joe Perry album at the moment and there is no drum correction at all, same with Ace Frehley and Aerosmith. However with an EDM band that had programmed parts or an artist that wants to add a synthetic tightness it's a great idea! As I like to say, it's horses for courses! Haha Have a marvellous time everyone! Many thanks Warren
Hi Robert, yes, once I discovered that (by accident of course! Haha) that also completely changed my editing!! Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
I love both Beat Detective and Flex Time....this video shows, what took me five songs of going too far with these tools and harming the vibe, instead of realizing, that just aligning some noticeably off time/feel notes, is the way to go....these are remarkable tools that can give anyone a pro vibe in a short time. I appreciate both of these tools greatly, almost as much as I appreciate these glorious vidz and more over Team PLAP...Thank you.....Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays to you all.....:)
hello Warren thank you for another great video and I was thinking it would be cool if you made a video talking about all the little things you have there in your room and how you have acquired some of them your little props and knick-knacks I have the same thing in my studio which I get crap for a lot for having too much junk but I love all my little knick-knacks and they helped me in my recording and creative process. I'm interested in where you got some of your knick knacks . thanks so much James
Thanks master !! All the best to you . A merry christmas and a new year with much peace and health. When I have time, listen to my music. The mix is mine, too. ruclips.net/video/ojlYCEM9Pqc/видео.html
Hi Warren, if you would want to mess around with the phases (phase alignement) - would you do it before or after beat detective? Thanks for your great show and best regards from Germany/ Klangfeld Studios. Cheers, Eike
Hi Eike Ebbel Groenewold Great question! I would always creat a playlist of the unedited files first before doing anything. I would then edit the drums the way I wanted, consolidate that and then if you were going to use some kind of plug in to change the phase relation I would create a new playlist so you can always go back. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Hi Ruben, I believe it's 184bpm, I'm not in front of my studio computer at the moment! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
Warren you've gotten to work with top of the A list especially A list drums. So how close to the grid are the big guys sticking it(Vinnie, Gadd, Sterling, Freese etc.) is it really completely dead on 0.0 ms either side or is there a few milliseconds float?
Hey Warren, Thanks again for this track. I’m having a fantastic time mixing and adding my production. Is there a way that we can share our mixes with others, while still giving the right attribution to the artist?
Why us beat detective on separate the file. Today you can use the elastic time you can take the groove out with beat detective and use it to time correct the track to another track
Hi Uzi, Yes, you can use elastic audio! Personally I don't like what it does to the audio, however there is no right way or wrong way! Have a marvellous time my friend! Many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, editing can be fun indeed...But... I wonder about something: With all the sample adds in general, how important is drumrecordingtechniques nowadays?? I mean, a drummer can have 100 snaredrums and can pick up the right one after an few hours of searching and then from a production kind of view the snaredrum almost dissapears in some way at the end.. I have mixed feelings about that... You can almost buy el cheapo drummics, with lets say Behringer c2 overheads and a 8 track cheap recorder, where the mics serve almost like a trigger (signal) and the drumsound is created by samples... (or you can do it with an electronic drumkit second hand = also cheap...) I love all the great fusion drumsounds from the 80s/90s, they are natural and real and people can play whole songs.... You get my point here??? Where is the point of natural sounds nowadays in pop/rock/metal??? Same with voices... The 80s were full of emotional singers without Chers autotune still... Sorry for my long writing, but I hope it helped...Food for thoughts guys...
And a tip for drummers to avoid flamming with recordings: Play quarter notes with all the 4 limbs at the same time (1-2-3-4), you also can try 8th notes,triplets, 16ths, etc etc... Next step is volume control : focus on one limb and play it soft, the rest loud,etc....Simplicity works with more difficult drumparts in general ....:) ;)
Hi Jeroen, great comment! You're asking how important is performance? It is more important than ever before!! We can spend more time on creativity as a result of being able to get great sounds easier. Have a marvellous time my friend! Many thanks Warren
Jeroen Simons I totally agree! As a drummer too, I find spending time learning the song and the drum parts, getting the take right from start to finish. To me, I’d prefer to spend the time at the drum kit rather than editing, quantising and getting everything “grid” perfect!? I also agree that simplicity does in fact, most of the time, win in the studio. Thanks for the great tip! Love your work!
Hi Pema Dorjee Bhutia great question! The edited files are available in this download, or you can take the original files and edit them yourself. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
welp, i've been doing it wrong since forever, i always hated just going into elastic audio, and quantizing, which at that point, just use a drum machine.
Marvelous video Warren. I have alway been baffled by Beat DET. But this is great, thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge. Would you listen to a mix of mine of some original production work etc? I would love to hear your opinion good or bad, many thanks. Keep on Recording! DC :D
Hi Warren, I've seen on one of your videos talking about available tracks that we can download and mix them. Could you please forward the link to me? Thanks a lot
Hi Mohanned, if you sign up at www.producelikeapro.com you will get links to free multitrack, drum samples, videos etc. Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, I'm having issues downloading the drum files. I have the guitars, they downloaded fine. But for some reason every tim I click "download anyway" on the warning for google's virus scanning it just reloads the page. I've tried, Firefox, chrome, Internet Explorer and Edge to no avail. Any help appreciated. thanks
Hi Steven, I'm sorry you're having issues downloading the files. I just tried it on Safari and it worked first time for me. It does say Google isn't able to scan files that large, which it always does for me. However the download started immediately. Can you email support@producelikeapro.com maybe there's another way we can get you the files? Have a marvellous time my friend! Many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, An update for you. it seems I solved the issue (sort of). I cannot download directly from the link, but I was able to click on the filename (Above the download anyway button) and then save it to my google drive. However, even there I was not able to download the file. What I ended up doing was to install the google drive app on my PC and then synch the file to my PC with the app. It worked, so I have the files, but definitely odd. Anyway, if anyone else has this issue I hope this will help them. Thanks again!
If you have to use beat detective, there's something wrong with the drummer, I f you have to use autotune there's something wrong with the singer........I'm sorry........
Hi Cozmovox great comment! It depends on what you’re trying to achieve! If you want their creativity but you are doing an EDM track for instance this is a great tool! There’s definitely no one way to make music!

Hi everythingtakin that’s a fantastic topic for a future video!! I really appreciate your kind words!!
Produce Like A Pro your wecome. have a great day.
Hello Warren,
As a PC and Reaper user I'd love to be able to do this.
Can you maybe ask Glenn to do elaberate on this?
Thank you very much!
Great idea Tim!! Glenn are you up for it?
Hey teacher Warren, when you can, make a video editing, quantizing guitar, ok? Please... thanks.
Hi Jon, I will definitely do more videos concerning editing in the near future! Have a marvellous time my friend! Many thanks Warren
Thanks master !!
All the best to you . A merry christmas and a new year with much peace and health.
When I have time, listen to my music. The mix is mine, too.

Hi Warren, thanks as always for sharing! Is there anything is Logic Pro X that would be similar to this tool?
Very investing question Steve!1 Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
Hello! great video! Curious are the duplicate tracks you made for back up or do you use them in the mix? Thanks!
Great question! I always duplicate the playlist so I can go back if necessary! Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
What's the advantage of this versus quantizing?
Hey Warren, what is the tempo of the song? Thanks.
Hi Ruben, I believe it's 184bpm, I'm not in front of my studio computer at the moment! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
hi thanks for sharing! I have a question.. What are time adjuster plugins doing in each channel?
Warren you've gotten to work with top of the A list especially A list drums. So how close to the grid are the big guys sticking it(Vinnie, Gadd, Sterling, Freese etc.) is it really completely dead on 0.0 ms either side or is there a few milliseconds float?
this is drum editing explained easily
Thanks Darlene! Have a marvellous time my friend! Many thanks Warren
Hate to sound stupid, but I'm old (67) and just back to recording after 25+ yrs. How would you go about setting up a tempo map
Hey Warren,
Thanks again for this track. I’m having a fantastic time mixing and adding my production.
Is there a way that we can share our mixes with others, while still giving the right attribution to the artist?

Many thanks Warren, thats also so true...!!!
are these the same set of multitracks given on the previous video (Drum Take) or are there more updates to it on this one?
Hi Pema Dorjee Bhutia great question! The edited files are available in this download, or you can take the original files and edit them yourself. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Idk if this question has been asked, but if your only quantizing the close mics, what r u doing with the overheads and/or room mics?
welp, i've been doing it wrong since forever, i always hated just going into elastic audio, and quantizing, which at that point, just use a drum machine.
Hi David, I agree with you on the elastic audio, always effected the sound to much for me! Have a marvellous time my friend! Many thanks Warren
how do you use beat detective on a live track with no click???
Excellent question! I would go through and create a tempo map and find the average tempo to create a grid that feels natural and breaths!
HELP - still trying to do shift CMD G and click 'down' and it isnt selecting all the drums! help!
Marvelous video Warren. I have alway been baffled by Beat DET. But this is great, thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge. Would you listen to a mix of mine of some original production work etc? I would love to hear your opinion good or bad, many thanks. Keep on Recording! DC :D

You're very welcome!! Have a marvellous time recording and editing drums! Many thanks Warren
Hey Warren what is the song tempo?
Hi Terrance Allen dang, sorry I’m out and about and I can’t access the files at the moment! I thought it was in the song files? Happy New Year!!
حلو
شكرا جزيلا

Thanks Warren, but I believe this video should be labeled as Pro Tools drum editing.
Hi Delta Vista Studio that’s a good point!! Happy New Year! I do hope you are having a marvellous holiday season!!
If you have to use beat detective, there's something wrong with the drummer, I f you have to use autotune there's something wrong with the singer........I'm sorry........
