Ponch, you guys are truly blessed with some talent....keep the tunes coming.
You said those are MIDI drums???? What are you using...please give me some more details!
thanks,
Jeff
Oh man, you're too kind my friend.
Yes, the drums parts are MIDI, I use the Logic and simply just compose the drum by writing the drums notation with those tiny black dots on staff line. the next move is try to adjust each notes velocity to make it sound more human than MIDI wise.. i don't like those drag drops and stuff 'cause somehow I feel it limits my ideas of groove and patterns.
Then after I wrote the whole parts, the next step is to dissect the drums parts into separate tracks, just like the real recording.. each channel for each drum part (cymblas, hihat, bass drums, snare, etc) maybe you could end up with 8 or more tracks depends on your instrumentation on drums.
For the sound, we using some of software like Drums From Hell (DFH) , Stylus etc, just try and check out which sound that might be suitable for the music style wise. Then we put some extra modulations, like reverb and stuff and mix it.
That's pretty much how we did it, quiet simple but need some extra details though.
hope it helps
