Just get a good performance with a good feel. Record yourself playing the song freely (on guitar or keys) without a click track.You’re making it sound like rocket surgery, lol.Īt the end of the day, you’re gonna have to choose between well-mixed sounds right out of the box that are extremely hard to make to sound dynamically realistic, or drums that you have to mic and mix yourself that you won’t have to kill yourself to make sound non-robotic. I’m not trying to be elitist but if you have any sort of practice, you will get the hang of it. It can be tricky to get the right sound, but lightyears away from “insanely, ridiculously hard to mix right.” That’s just not true. I understand people live in apartments and don’t have that option though. And yes, I do have the luxury of a pretty nicely treated drum room, but it’s basically a shed I helped my buddy acoustically treat, so not that unobtainable. I mean, it takes practice like everything else, but…it’s really not that hard to mix drums once you learn. Drum modules are usually at least half a dozen gigabytes in size, up to monsters like Superior Drummer which is 230 GB of samples. Like I said, 16-24+ samples for a whole drum kit is nothing. The kit might have been sampled with multiple microphones, so you could take that 500 snare samples and multiply it times the number of mics. Now multiply that by all the drums in an entire kit, with multiple cymbals and toms. At each velocity level, you get more than one sample and you use an algorithm (usually round-robin) to ensure that the same sample is never played twice in a row, so it never sounds like a machine.Īt the extreme, you have something like 127 velocity layers with 4 round-robins at each velocity, for over 500 samples for one drum. That means you sample the drum being hit at multiple velocities, from very soft to super hard.
There's a big difference between EDM drums, where you might have one snare sample for an entire song, and jazz/funk/rock drums, where there are tons of dynamics and want it feel organic and real, like an actual player at an acoustic kit. just the snare, or just the kick, or one cymbal. we're talking about that many drums samples FOR A SINGLE DRUM, e.g.
