Description: THE BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO MIDI ROCK DRUMS
Are you just getting into writing and recording rock music? Well, the first step is to create killer drum tracks. In this series, project studio master Travis Brown is going to show you how to program realistic and rockin’ drums using Pro Tools 9 and the Steven Slate Drum EX virtual instrument, quickly and easily. Designed for the beginner, this series starts with an introduction to the song you’ll be creating drums for, exploring the awesome Steven Slate Drums EX plug-in, using the Pro Tools MIDI editor, setting up a guide track, digging in and playing the parts, all the way to creating cool fills and breaks, humanizing the feel of the performance and finishing off with mixing and printing your MIDI drums as audio for further processing or bringing to another studio.
Even though this series is shown with Pro Tools and Steven Slate Drums, you can apply the techniques and theories to any DAW and virtual drum plug-in. If you’re just starting out and want to know how to program great sounding and feeling drums, this is the series for you… You can’t beat it!
