This comment is underrated haha
Misha, man, you're a natural at this shit. Explaining things, walkthroughs ect. You have a pleasant speaking voice, and a nice, calm demeanor. And you don't act as if you're a know-it-all. We appreciate it.
Dood. Just wanted to say that I'm very thankful and grateful that you take the time to show us how you do your thing. It's very awesome of you to set time aside to help us bedroom producers. Much appreciated!
Misha, as an aspiring prog artist with no literal friends who listen to the genre or are aficionados like I am, this is a god send. Drummers are a rarity, and I don't know anyone willing to play something other than metallica covers. I Just got an axe fx2, and looking to get FRFR's but I'm almost always broke. Thanks so much for this. Looking forward to what you put out next.
I am a prog drummer, but I know them feels man. I know about 2 other people who like prog...
Karl Dutschke
Seems like this is always the case... Same here
We should start an internet band... Same way the safety fire handled their first release, we could send files back and forth?
I drum prog, too...let me know if you need anyone else involved if you do end up sharing files!
7 years of experience with dirty growls n shit if its what you guys are into.
Just stumbled on this channel, and I don't think I've seen anybody on UA-cam that explains real world drum programming this well. The ghost note thing blew my mind. Please keep dropping more stuff on us like this. It's greatly appreciated!!!!
Wow much appreciated Misha, and Jeff. Many thanks for not only doing this video for your fans, but also just communicating with us as a whole. Cheers!
"You need to know what's possible with 4 limbs"
Puts two ghost notes directly in front of a double cymbal hit
I mean matt could probably do it
Great video. It makes a lot more sense to me now and takes some of the fear and intimidation of programming drums out of the recording process.
Misha is so thoughtful to have considered everyone into his mind
Misha is awesome for putting this together. Same with all his tutorials. Thanks man.
we need a sound placing and mixing tips video too!
I have wished for a video like this for years. Thank you so much!
Yes! Keep em coming, this is rad to see how Bulb does his thing
Thanks so much for doing this, I think last video myself and many people requested this. Can't wait for Part 2, and to use all this new info!
Don't lie, you can wait.
*need to wait. :P
oh, hi.
jparecki95 Reviving old thread because lel
#shrekt
Awesome to get a look inside your process. thanks for taking the time to do these!
This is cool. Really appreciate all the production tutorials! You guys rock!
Pure GOLD, Misha! Thank you so so much for helpin' out!
Some very sick tips there dude. Being a drummer my self, i also go into this much detail, it is the secret to creating realistic sounding drums. Subtlety is the key!!
Misha i'm watching now this lessons and i hope i could reach that drum sound some day, i recently installed Superior Drummer 3 but it was such a waste of space in my HDD, you make this plugin sound very professional and it's around 20Gb or less, thanks for this kind of tutorials and for being an inspiration too, you're awesome.
Misha this is perfect, i think when you're done with your Drum series, please do a final one to show us how to bring every instrument (Drums, guitars etc) together to create a great mix.
Thank you! I've never dabbled with my drum editor in my daw. Definitely will use the tips and tricks you shared. Thank you
Doing this kind of video youre really helping ppl how to produce corectly. Please continue doing that. Thank you.
The ghost notes help a great deal, awesome guide and well-explained, thank you so much!
It's about time! lol keep Em coming and keep up the great work
Very helpful, this is some awesome information you're giving out. Your explanations are good and clear! Thank you so much!
That might defly inspire me to be not lazy, thanks Misha
How did it take me so long to find this post! Awesome.
thanks for doing this Misha. Seems like we work very similarly in programming drums, but it was still very interesting to see your thought process!
Ahhhhh! That outro! Thanks for the tips Misha, you rock!!
Thanks for this Misha, really great stuff!
These videos are all so legit and helpful! Thanks!
Great vid & thanks for the tips, Misha! Very useful.
These tutorials are really helpful! Thanks!
keep em coming Misha ! your the man.
Yes a very good overview. Thanks for this 2 part tutorial.
I love how you find little snippets of Juggernaut throughout these videos
First watched this video YEARS ago, now I’m back with the ggd plugins
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video. :)
Dude... Thank you so much for putting this up!
"I don't want anything that's a complete pain in the ass for a drummer to play."
Basically the entire first album from Animals as Leaders is a pain in the ass to play, but a really really awesome pain in the ass.
And a lot of Periphery songs are so fucking hard
"Not that, that should matter though." Hahaha. Brought me such a good laugh.
This is sweet, thanks for making this!
Really good stuff dude. Nice little studio too!
Love it please keep posting more videos thanks misha!!!
Been waiting a longtime for this! Absolutely worth the wait! You're the man Misha, hope to get more of these tutorials down the road.
~Zack
omg that kit sounds amazing
Super informative - It all makes sense now!
Is there a video on how you create your drum mix? That would be amazing.
you should also do a drum mixing tutorial where you show how to get that drum sound ;)
Excelent job dude, keep it up!!!
i revisit this video now and then to learn again and again :D
Excellent Tutorial! …I'm really enjoying your videos.
Getting good workflow is key, too. I like to define a basic beat which occupies just one bar. Name it BeatA-01. Make a copy, edit it a little to make a couple of small variations (extra notes, fewer notes twiddle velocities slightly), name it BeatA-02. Make a copy of BeatA-01, make some different variations, call that BeatA-03. Copy BeatA-01 again, and in the last 1 or 2 beat, delete all the notes and add a fill. Call it BeatA-F1. Repeat the last step a few times to get BeatA-F2, BeatA-F3... with each of the fills as different as possible.
Go back to BeatA-01, and add a crash (or crashes at the start). Now you can start sequencing the clips like this:
01, 02, 03, F1, 01, 04, 02, F2, 01, 03, 02, F3, 01, 04, 03, F4
You can now pull tricks like going into the various 01's and changing the cymbal(s) that get hit (try alternating left crash, right crash, and having the first one both crashes).
A final trick I like to use is to have a macro that takes ride or hi-hat cymbals and nudges them a few ticks ahead or behind by a random amount, and also changes the velocities by a small amount. The result of all that is a drum beat with interesting variation and a realistic feel.
Solid tutorial man. Thank you!
Love his last couple of sentences.
Awesome, I just use the piano roll in my DAW to program the midi for superior, and it works perfectly fine too, but the cubase editor looks like it would be much easier. All in all very informative, especially the ghost notes which I'm definitely going to start using. Thanks.
MISHA! You are the fucking best. Until now I just kind of gave up whenever I tried to program anything by hand and relied on EZDrummer but this video has allowed me to actually figure it out. I use reaper and realizing that I can change the format to have diamonds like in cubase makes it so much easier! You're the best!
The name of the intro song.... Please...
I agree the outro is dope! Mansoor could you show in one of your videos how to create a realistic drum roll? Your the man and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with the world!
Thanks Misha.
Thanks so much Misha.
I NEED MORE
Your the best misha...thank you
Hats up to you...... great job man.... love your music \m/
These are some of the best fucking tutorials I've ever seen on the net! Misha for world president!
Just an FYI for anyone confused, Misha is using the BPM as an 8th note pulse rather than 1/4 notes, so when he clicks in what looks like an 1/8th note on the grid, it's functioning musically as a 1/4 note.
i never thought to use reinforcement samples, thanks for the tips!
Enjoyed that very much!
Thanks for the useful tips Misha
Now that you use getgood drums, could you giveaway how you process this superior kit?
This helped a ton thank you!
Misha your the best!
very informative and helpful! thanks a lot!
Mishas the coolest. And the snare is the loudest!!
Awesome video
Great stuff!
Great tutorial- thank you!! 👍
Thanks buddy. Great tutorial
awesome vid, I'm just starting out in this and this has been one of the most instructional videos I have watched, sub'd.
Amazing Video!!!
Thank you Misha!!
great videos misha! please share your drums sound settings! how do you compress and work with superior and TMF??
I had no idea I could change my drum map. I have to figure out how to do it.. plus being able to select a group of hits and set their velocities. Im using Cubase AI6 so I'm not sure if I can or not. Very useful!
I saw a drummer hit two symbols and a hi hat at the same time once. It was amazing.
The Cubase drums editor looks dope!
That reinforcement track is a good idea. I'm an amateur at mixing prog metal-ish stuff. I always had to turn the drums WAY UP for them to cut through the mix.
Nice video! Thank you very much!
Really useful. Thanks for posting.
I *LOVE* your desk/setup! Lots of 'levels', easy access to keys, plectrums. You should do a video walkthrough of your gear! :-)
Might could do that at some point.
Misha Mansoor PLEASE DO!
Thanx Bro! You are truly awsome!
Thanks, Misha!
Which monitors are those?
Event Opal Monitors.
That's a poor portrait of me getting blasted in the face with sea men.
I also would love to get the presets for your superior drummer kit, unless it's like a top secret. Awesome.video man.
I used to read an online magazine called "Sick Drummer" which has all kinds of info, interviews(guys like Gene Hoglan and Hellhammer), techniques, etc. for metal drumming & I would try to apply that stuff to my own drum programming.
what is the name of this Software to make drum programing?
The song from the carvin demo on your soundcloud that is this video is one of my favorites of yours!
The funny thing is...imagination. I find that I end up using more jazz than say rock. And I am a rock kinda guy. The other thing is... you gotta start somewhere... I am glad you did this. The quiet in-between notes is just as important.
Im late to the party on this video, but at 7:40 when he talks about reinforcing the samples, whats happening there? is it just doubling the midi signal triggering 2 of the same hits but with slight variation from the drum samples? how do you route that?
7:45 What samples do you run on the battery? I have understood that they are ment to reinforce the main drums groove but due to my bad english listening skills i can't understand what kind of samples they are
I'm having some serious difficulties in mixing everything together.. I just can't get my songs to sound right. A "mixing tips" video would be amazing!
There are a ton of great videos out that cover mixing, just type it in your search bar! I think Misha already has one out on this channel that covers some of his recording/mixing techniques as well.
Go to Ultimatemetal.com and join the recording/mixing forums (Practice Room) man.
TheM1ghtyGuitarist Watch Fortiori's extensive mixing guide. Just youtube "Fortiori mixing tutorial". It's the easiest and most in-depth tutorial on youtube
Akis Mylordos Thanks man!
Is there anyway to get like templates that people have already made for those like me that are too lazy to map everything out? Kinda like line6 has presets you can share for helix
