    • @TheSteveKinney
      @TheSteveKinney  2 роки тому

      That’s awesome!! It’s taken me years for this idea to really become second nature. In the early days - I’d use this technique and my sounds would be great and then somehow totally forget to do it the next go round.
      Big shout out to Bobby Huff’s channel - he does a lot of amazing breakdowns on the lengths that other producers have went to to shape their sounds. He’s covered this kind of stuff before too - so be sure to check his channel out if you liked this stuff! Cheers mate.

      It’s funny - I remember I found out a long time ago, how big industry people had been supplementing their drum sounds with samples - but took years for it to really sync in 😂.. I always had kept forgetting about the technique while I learned the fundamentals.
      It’s super handy!

  • @jtwidmer6185

    Great video!! Do you have a video on EZ Drummer and how to get those good hard rock and metal tones?

    • @TheSteveKinney
      @TheSteveKinney  2 роки тому +1

      Nothing specific on drum tones, a lot of my videos are more on the technical side of using the software, and little tricks, and stuff here.
      I try to stay out of “get xyz tone” because that implies there’s a right way and a wrong way to get to a tone. So the topic becomes hard to fairly discuss.
      Ez has a number of great expansions on metal - and I’d likely augment them with the same approach as in this video.
      Cheers mate!

    • @TheSteveKinney
      @TheSteveKinney  2 роки тому +1

      @@timdaniel7745 this is hard for many...
      It’s a combination of having good arrangements, good sounds while tracking, good mixing and balance, bus compression, saturation, & good limiting.
      No major shortcuts or secrets. Although - a lot of the heavy lifting is in saturation & limiting.
      Which is why Luna rules because the saturation with the summing extensions are super musical. And sound awesome!

    Thank you Steve. I just started with ez drummer 3. As a professional drummer l know how much time and money you need to spend if you want to have good studio with acoustic drums. I think Toontrack is game changer now about drums.

    • @TheSteveKinney
      @TheSteveKinney  Рік тому +1

      They have been! Their stuff has been amazing for years now.
      Truly - we’ve hit the turning point with samples. No real need to mic up kits.
      Maybe dub some cymbals and spend time getting good cymbal Samples.
      And also mic up a hi hat. But shell passes with ez for sure!

  • @literaltrash2275
    @literaltrash2275 2 роки тому +1

    Nice. Your most views are in your vocal plugins 👍🏼👍🏼 waiting on some more UAD plugins for mixing demos. I know how to get my demos sounding pretty rad, but what do you use for your quick jot down demos?

    • @TheSteveKinney
      @TheSteveKinney  2 роки тому

      Plenty more to come - truthfully, I don't like to demo as I don't spend time writing my own stuff anymore, usually people come to me with ready to produce material or ready to mix... however, when I do like to build out stuff for fun, I usually will just act as if I'm building it for radio... unless it's just in the moment to where I need to save the idea - then I usually don't care what sound I have, cause it's just simply for me to remember - as long as I can remember it - that's good enough for me.
      Cheers mate!

    • @TheSteveKinney
      @TheSteveKinney  2 роки тому

      Thanks for the support!
      I haven’t used an antelope and the software plugins are proprietary like UAD - so I haven’t used or heard them!
      From everything I’ve seen - it’s a solid interface! I don’t think their client support is as good as UA. Those guys are all over the web supporting their clients.
      I’d also be willing to bet the UAD plugs certainly sound better. But again the meat and potatoes of the interface are gonna be a solid alternative.
      Cheers!

      @@officialWWM It cost a little bit, but... It cost about the same as one full price UAD plug-in. And the options at hand are endless. You can even take a crappy drum recording done with a single room mic, drag it into the program, extract the midi, quantize and replace all sounds with recordings from the legendary George Massenburg. Or get a cheap e-kit and get going. And you can do entire mixes with several drum buses, effects and what not inside the program that can be run as a stand alone without a DAW. For what you get I do not think the cost is high at all, even though it can seem expensive at first glance.
