This is a great tip! THanks for sharing. Couldn't you get similar results just using the noise gate and bouncing? That's basically what you are using Trigger for.
This is awesome, thank you! Only thing I’d like to add is that logic has a function quicker than loading a trigger plugin - if you select the track you’re creating a trigger from (ie kick or snare) and hit control+D, it duplicates the track as a midi file with a sample ready to go. Then you’d still bounce it’s an audio file etc. Thanks again :)
It’s funny. I figured this out through trial and error Checked this video to see if there were any hot new tips or a different way of doing things and was happy to see that someone else was essentially doing the same thing.
Great video, but I have 1 question - my song has different tempos, when I drag in the original audio files (drum rehearsal) it messes up the section that's a different tempo
What if there is an area that you don’t want affected by Flex Pitch? Say you have a section that isn’t tied to the tempo, like a dramatic intro. What do you do in that case?
I'm gonna try this with the built in "Replace Or Double Drum Track" instead of Slate Trigger. It's a cool trick forcing Logic to have a clean Q track. Thanks!
Does'nt work for me, Logic still cuts through transients and I can not yet find a way move the transient markers, it all works very glitchy. Would be nice if it was possible to choose a trigger time just like in Pro tools beat detective, so that it wont cut in the transient
Slicing at transients takes forever. I've watched a few videos where the operator selects "slice at transients" and it's done in a matter of seconds. Mine is taking half an hour and I'm on a pretty high spec Mac. Any else had this?
This is a great idea, but when you have to switch flex back on after bouncing in place you're then relying on Logics transient analysis again. So won't you end up in the same position with transient markers all out of place on your new drum replacement track?
Great info. I have four long Prog Metal tracks to time up and the drummer which is me plays consistently ahead of the click. Can you recommend any free drum trigger plugins?
Hey bud thank! If you are using logic you can do this right in your DAW. Check out this video I found. I would also add that tigger by slate is the best though... It is well worth the investment and isn't to expensive! ua-cam.com/video/IP3dcsYxVhg/v-deo.html
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Thanks dude. I went with the trail of Addictive Trigger, and followed your video carefully, but after the whole day at it i had to give up. I tried your way (quantise made things worse) the longer way as described, and the really stupid way (trying to move every hit). Our guitarist seems to think it's easy with Reaper, so he can have a crack..
Yea you can’t just quantize it and hope for the best unless you have a spot on drummer like I did in the video. It just takes practice! Editing is hard! Good luck bud.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork I tried this way, the only problem is that you nowhave a midi track of the drums, the problem being that Flextime doesn’t do midi, in turn you can't use it to detect transients. Can you then make an audio track of the triggered midi? How would you do this? Thanks
@@daystardaystardaystardayst1865 hey bud. You can bounce the midi track to a new track and make it an audio file. Let me know if you have trouble. Just shoot me an email. Joel@homerecordingnetwork.com
Thanks for this! I'm gonna have to research a little further though as I've never used groups before, so that was all like a foreign language to me :D also, didn't understand why the rest of the kit would follow the quantised kick and snare...is that because they're grouped? Or is something else causing that?
No problem! Yes that is exactly why the rest of the kit will follow the kick and snare. You need to have quantized locked selected in your group. Would you like me to make a video explaining groups?
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Hi. Thanks for getting back to me! I immediately looked for videos on groups and it was a bit of a revelation! Been using Logic since 2013 and never came across their use before. I’ll be trying your method later today as I have some drums to work with on a recent track. I feel like I understand groups now but I’m sure a video would be appreciated, plus you may well explain something new or in a different way to others.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork An actual trigger plugin so that I don’t have to waste time going through my kick and snare drum tracks and erasing all the false transients
I actually don’t know of any free trigger program. Slate trigger 2 is what I have always used. It’s really good and relatively inexpensive. I believe you can actually trigger in logic as well. I believe in one of the previous comments someone had asked about that.
Quantizing is only appropriate if you know the exact tempo of the song, and the band actually was able to play consistently with the click. Speaking of mix ahem...your intro music and VO are not even close.
I thought it was a really new method ... The problem of the Logic is not how quickly we remove unnecessary markers , but so that the version of the quantize is correct without artifacts and distortions . The first part of the video could be removed . We've already seen enough of this

Thank you so much! This is genius! I never thought about doing that way. Will try it next week after the recording session
Thanks bud! Glad I could help!
You sir are a legend. So simple in concept, so effective. I thank you many, many times over.
Thanks for watching my dude!
An easier way is to use remove silence control + X. You can remove everything that is below a certain threshold without using trigger.
You should make a video about this! That’s a great tip!
Great concept!
Thanks!
It’s funny. I figured this out through trial and error
Checked this video to see if there were any hot new tips or a different way of doing things and was happy to see that someone else was essentially doing the same thing.
Nice!
You saved my life Broo!!!
Glad I could help you out brother! Let me know if you need anymore help 😀
So freaking cool! Great trick.
Thanks buddy! Let me know if you need any additional help.
Great video, but I have 1 question - my song has different tempos, when I drag in the original audio files (drum rehearsal) it messes up the section that's a different tempo
Hmmm that is strange. I have sessions with different tempos and everything works fine!
Cool 👌
Tried this today, worked as a charm.
Nice! Glad I could help!

Thanks brother! Every subscriber helps while I grow my channel! Hit me up if you ever need any help.
This channel is the channel I've been waiting for. Actually going into process vs top 10 mix tricks. 🙌
@@ATATChat thanks brother! That means a lot. Glad I could help you out!
You sound like Tom Hanks in 90's lol. Thanks for the tip, awesome stuff!!
😂 I will take that as a compliment! I love Tom hanks
What if there is an area that you don’t want affected by Flex Pitch? Say you have a section that isn’t tied to the tempo, like a dramatic intro. What do you do in that case?
In this case I would still have the intro tied to a tempo. You can change tempo in the same project.
Awesome I will try it out 👍🏻
Great! Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
I'm gonna try this with the built in "Replace Or Double Drum Track" instead of Slate Trigger. It's a cool trick forcing Logic to have a clean Q track. Thanks!
No problem!
Wouldn't that create a midi track and not audio? Can you use a midi track to align the drums?
@@brickhithouse1 not sure, but you could quickly bounce the midi track
Idea 💡 Would it work to use a trigger on the kick and snare when recording drum tracks THEN use the samples as our guides?
Not sure! Interesting though. I have never used trigger in real time!
That great man!! Cool trick!
Thanks! I will have another video like this coming out in the future with another cool way to edit.
The Home Recording Network can’t wait!! Cheers!

That is strange! Maybe take it section by section?
awesome vid, thank you!
No problem bud!
It's amazing how many thousands upon thousands of brilliant albums were recorded without all this nitpicking.
It’s easy when you are working with pro musicians. Thanks for watch bud!
Thank you for the tip! ❤
No problem!
Thank you :) this is great
No problem!
This is a great idea, but when you have to switch flex back on after bouncing in place you're then relying on Logics transient analysis again. So won't you end up in the same position with transient markers all out of place on your new drum replacement track?
Nope! Give it a try!
Then you would bounce in place correct?
You could if you wanted to!
Great info. I have four long Prog Metal tracks to time up and the drummer which is me plays consistently ahead of the click. Can you recommend any free drum trigger plugins?

@@HomeRecordingNetwork Cheers!
That video will be posted tomorrow at 10am est brother!
awesome tip. it seems to be really easy with that type of beat. have you tried using a snare track with ghost notes? i ll give a try
I usually leave ghost notes alone. Thanks!
Are there any FREE drum triggers?
Are you talking about the samples? Or the actually trigger plugin.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork An actual trigger plugin so that I don’t have to waste time going through my kick and snare drum tracks and erasing all the false transients
I actually don’t know of any free trigger program. Slate trigger 2 is what I have always used. It’s really good and relatively inexpensive. I believe you can actually trigger in logic as well. I believe in one of the previous comments someone had asked about that.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork how much is it?
I think it’s around $100 or you can pay 9.99 for 12 months. Money well spent if you are using it in every mix like I do.
Quantizing is only appropriate if you know the exact tempo of the song, and the band actually was able to play consistently with the click.
Speaking of mix ahem...your intro music and VO are not even close.
You are correct my dude. I always record to a click. Not sure what your last sentence means. Thanks for watching though!
I thought it was a really new method ... The problem of the Logic is not how quickly we remove unnecessary markers , but so that the version of the quantize is correct without artifacts and distortions . The first part of the video could be removed . We've already seen enough of this
This is the 3rd most watched video on my channel so I am not touching it lol. Thanks for watching though.
@@HomeRecordingNetwork Thank you for the answer. good luck
Less talk would be the better thing u could do...
Less dumbass comments would be the better thing you could do… learn how to use your DAW dumbass 😂.
OMG what's your CashApp?? This is genius!! THANK YOU
