Drum Tracks

[Alexandrin Chaples]

Okayplease forgive me but I'm brand new to the entire world of DAW. I've been slowly piecing together a home studio and now I'm ready start creating. I want to start by importing some drum loops from Band Lab Assistant. I can't figure out how. This is my very first question and I'm sure as I get more familiar with this forum I'm be able to find more answers on my own.

I knew this was going to happen. In reading a lot of other notes in here I keep seeing 2 or 3 letter acronyms and I have no idea what they stand for. Is there a DAW dictionary of acronyms? For instance, you said " Add the SI Drums to a track. Open up its GUI" I have no idea what SI and GUI stand for. This is how new I am to all of this.

After recording my drum tracks, I spend some time aligning all the waveforms. As a matter of course, I align the overheads to the close top snare mic, then I align all the mics to the overheads. I finally flip the phase buttons so I get positive attacks on all the tracks (meaning I usually have to flip everything apart from the in/out kick mics and bottom snare mic).

"The Americana Sessions" features 600 pure and natural drum loops and single hits with acoustic-driven songwriting and productions in mind. But like the confluence of Americana music itself, these loops can work well for folk, blues, country, bluegrass, R&B, and even some rock and roll.

There are are no additional drum beats/loops at this time with Spider V. But if you have other software or sources for drum loops you can play them thru Spider V via the aux or USB in and still get great reproduction with the speaker+tweeter combo.

It is not possible to add more riffs. Spider V comes loaded with 4 demo riffs in various styles. The volume of the demo riff cannot be changed. The overall volume is controlled by the amp model, start by turning down the volume on the amp model.

To change from demo riff to a metronome or drum beat: Use the rotary scroll knob to select icon on the left portion of the screen, then press the rotary scroll knob to switch between demo riff, metronome, and drum tracks.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I'll take a shot at it. What you want is to have all of the snare takes packed into a take folder, and then all of the kick takes packed into a take folder, and so on. Then you put all the drum channels into a group. Then you do quick swipe comping on one drum part, and all those edits will be applied to all the drum parts that are members of the group.

I think I'm trying to do the same thing and the link was helpful for the next recording session of drums...but, I have project that I didn't record with the group "record" active. I would like to comp swipe all 10 tracks of drums by take in one folder.

Just to be clear I'll try saying it another way: I used 10 mics and recorded on 10 separate tracks. We made 7 passes (takes). I would like to be able to comp the drums (all 10 tracks) the way I am able to comp-swipe a single track, like the vocals.

I feel like I've tried just about every logical combination of selection methods (e.g. make 7 folders with the 10 tracks then make a take folder of the 7 folders, select all tracks make take folder, etc.)

Just to be clear, the method is not to put all tracks and all takes inside one folder. The method is that all seven takes of Snare are inside one Take Folder, and all seven takes of Kick are inside another Take Folder, and so on. Then you put the ten tracks in the same Group, and do Quick Swipe Comping on one track. These comping edits will then apply to all the ten tracks in that group.

It could be that you're getting confused about the difference between a Folder and a Take Folder. They are not the same thing. You are not going to have seven Folders. You are going to have ten Take Folders.

There is some confusion in your phrase "multi track take folder," and addressing this confusion might be helpful. There is no such thing as a "multi track take folder," because one Take Folder does not embody multiple tracks. It embodies multiple takes for a single track.

Imagine that I have two mics, Snare and Kick. I have done three takes. Let's imagine that I have not recorded them as takes (I don't know if you did or not; it would be easier if you did). The separate regions are just lined up, one after the other. So on the Snare track, I have Snare1, Snare2, and Snare3. These are the three takes for Snare. And I have the corresponding situation on the Kick track. In other words, I now have six separate regions, on two tracks.

Now I want to line up the takes so they are arranged vertically, not horizontally. So I create two new audio tracks under the Snare track. Now I move Snare2 and Snare3 to those two new tracks, so that Snare1, Snare2 and Snare3 are all lined up at the same time position, one above the other. Now I select those three regions, and on the Arrange local menu, I use this command: Region > Folder > Pack Take Folder. (Not "Pack Folder.")

I think you might be doing what I think the other commenter is doing: confusing Folders with Take Folders. I also think that you might be trying to apply both concepts at the same time. Probably it makes sense to make sure you understand the concepts separately before you try to combine them.

I am also having this problem. Followed the instructions above exactly and still no luck. I don't have the problem when I record multiple tracks and then comp swipe, only when I'm importing takes from another DAW. Has anyone had any success doing this? Could it be a bug with Logic X? So frustrating!

The reason we tell people not to record the BeatBuddy is because usually it is best to use the BeatBuddy live in conjunction with the Aeros, but you can record anything to the Aeros, think of it as a computer-less DAW, you can record anything you want, if your purpose is to capture ideas, feel free to record the BeatBuddy to the Aeros as a drum track.

If using external SD, you just record everything into your tracks and the Wav files will be separated by track and by L/R inputs on the SD card. When you do this make sure you only copy the files from the SD and do not alter the files in any way.

Keep in mind, we add 360 samples (out of 44,100 samples at 44.1kHz) to the end of every audio file to improve crossfades, if you plan to loop the tracks, you must remove this 360 samples from the end, if you are not looping what you recorded in Aeros, it should be of no consequence!

Now that Ardour 7 has brought us the joy of really being able to create MIDI Tracks, I would like to stay as much as possible in the DAW. So for me switching over to something like Hydrogen feels pretty clunky.

Renoise is a digital audio workstation. It lets you compose, edit and record production-quality audio using a music tracker-based approach. It features a wide range of built-in audio processors, alongside support for all commonly used virtual...

Plugins like Beat Scholar are one example of a great MIDI work flow for drums. However, Beat Scholar (and also the amazing Percussion Factory) are neither libre nor gratis, and BS in particular requires very current OpenGL support (thanks, JUCE!)
