EASY WAY OF : Quantizing Live Drums
I'm in the situation, that I need a simple way of quantizing my drums .
They are all tracked to a click track ... but as I'm not a so called pro drummer there are flaws in my playing . I have recorded the drums in two to four bar takes, but they are still not dead tight . As a matter of fact they need lots of editing / quantizing . Now, if anyone would share their methods (Basic or Advanced) of doing this . I'm still quite a newbie with Pro Tools though I've been using it for years, but I've only scratched the surface . E.g. What is the Beat Detective ? I know I should look @ YouTube, but I thought I'd ask people around here first . - Z - |

Re: EASY WAY OF : Quantizing Live Drums
You can use beat detective to slice your drum tracks and the next step would be enabling elastic audio to adjust your overheads before dropping the hits to the grid. Takes some time to get used to, but the principle is simple: splice first, move later.
EDIT: give the splices some 25-ish milliseconds time before and after while using beat detective. If you cut too near of the transient it will sound weird.

Re: EASY WAY OF : Quantizing Live Drums
Sometimes I will edit drums manually. Make a group of all the drum tracks with audio. Using Tab 2 Transient, tab thru and separate clips in the problem areas and move things as needed(either snap to grid or just move things closer). Then using the trim tool, drag edges of clips back to A-fill in any blank areas, and B-so you have some leeway to add crossfades.
