Quantizing Drums

[tempest18]

Hello chaps,

I recently recorded some drums for a project I have at uni.

I tracked the drums in one of their studios on logic. I'm by no means a drummer but would rather try to play the parts myself than let some other so-called drummers play them.

I set the tempo to 110bmp, friend hit record and we were off. I played pretty close to the tempo and only want to use 8 or so bars from the whole performance to make some loops.

I have two problems. 110bmp does not seem to match the tempo of the recorded audio.

Also after trying to edit the drums using tab to transient and quantizing the regions to the 110bmp I'm left with noticeable glitches in the drumming. I also dont have Beat Detective to sort this out.

I didnt get a recording of the click track from logic but you can hear it in the overheads a tiny bit at the start before I played. The 110bmp click in protools is a fraction faster.

Any help with this situation would be much appreciated. I really need to get these tracks perfectly in time so I can continue with the rest of my project.

Thanks,

CT

Use time compression audiosuite or the very easy time compression tool if you have PTLE 6.7 or later.

Be sure you do this if you want your drums to sound like time compressed barf. If it's not off by too much, how about using beat detective? Or manually chopping each beat, and quantizing the regions to the grid...

I personaly wont go near any type of time/compression/expansion plugins on real drums.

Use Beat Detective.

How to use Beat Detective on a multi track drum kit in PT LE.

You should be fluent with PT and BD before you jump into that. My tutorial is aimed at the experienced user.
