how to make a drum track with superior drummer 2.0 reaper

This first tip may be the most obvious, but it is important to state that (to a point) if you start with crap you will more than likely end up with something that sounds….well, crap! So the easiest thing you can do is take some time to research and get yourself a good quality virtual drum kit or some high-quality drum samples. So I’ve compiled a list of 15 tricks and tips to help you make your MIDI drums sound just like the real thing. But there are loads of things you can do to make MIDI drums sound more realistic and create great sounding tracks. There are certain elements of MIDI drums that can be a give away to the listener. I have been doing this for a while in my music as I just don’t have the time, space or budget to be recording live drums on all my tracks.īut many people say that they can tell straight away if drums on a track are MIDI and not live, and this is often true. The truth is that it is much less stressful (and cheaper) to use MIDI drums or sampled drums.

This is on top of the fact that most of us just don’t have the space to have a full mic’ed up drum kit in our home recording studio! You’ve got to think about room acoustics, microphone type, microphone positions and much more besides. Well, unfortunately, to get live drums sounding good, or even average, is no easy task. Ok, so we all wish we could have awesome sounding live drums on our recordings right?
