are those midi guitars? if so, what plugins?

welp this video's getting saved for me to come back to once a week everytime i forget to put more nuance in my drum patterns

Now how to program realistic guitar

This tutorial helped a lot Little does everyone know... I AM A DRUMMER

"drummer isnt a robot" every note snapped to grid

ELSE. I WILL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES

also can turn the swing with the little knob on the channel rack, it makes it so there is a little off beat to each one so there not hitting so perfectly.

that's cool

0:23 and so what? You can have two drummers instead of one.

Gently?

Sometimes I think KZbin is talking to me 0:30, I was doing something similar right now , I'll stop and follow your advice👍

As a drummer, it was interesting to see what you did here. Very good 👍

Nice one! I've taken a lot of value out of this :) Thank you and Merry Christmas

Marvelous!

Hiiii one of your videos gets a lot views and now suddenly you're looking at it like "wow that's so great" and then you're probably gonna worry if any of your other videos will be noticed, well, I hope they will!! This sounded sick, now I hope others will see it too

You must be at 1 million subs

i wish i got this before i learned how to do it

this is just epic, so underrated

0:36 when those staccato hats suddendly get a rhythm, it's pure magic!

thank you! this was very helpful

Quick tip from a drummer: A lot of those hi hat samples sound like it's playing the top of the cymbal with the tip of the stick. For most drummers when they groove, they're playing the side of the hi hat with the shoulder of the stick, giving it a lower and thicker tone. Something to think about when picking sounds.

honestly really good presentation bro. well done congrats and thanks

Step 1: find high quality drumkits

W plugin, I love GGD Matt Halpern Pack

Great video - I love the perspective of designing digital instruments to just be an accurate mirror of real ones. It allows you to ground your music in something timeless while allowing technology and creativity to give you room to push the limits of what you can create w/o needing a single real instrument 🔥

This is great content.

I'm a (mainly rhythm) guitarist, and I have to admit that I sometimes make better drumbeats than riffs! I often hsve to program the drums for the song because my drummer claims he can't come up with his parts again 🙄

This sounds legit , what plugin did you use for the guitar or is it a live recording ?

easy to understand, thank you

this video is so creative!! i love it

Amazing video, great job

Forgot to not 100% quantize. but decent advice!

would love to know what drumkit this is, it sounds incredible

This is golden information, when you out all the tips into work it immediately started to sound real

Propre ! J'aime beaucoup le petit flanger/crystalizer sur l'ambient en fond ça marche vraiment bien

I find it fairly easy to program realistic drums but it's just really slow and boring work. Like writing a book by carving the words into stone.

velocity is one tge most over looked things i think

Perfect, now what about the mixing? What plugins are the best for making those drums (P5) heavier? (for example Heavy/Dark/Death Metal)?

Programming drums well is so boring and tedious, that you may as well get a cheap drum kit with MIDI compatibility and learn some beats yourself and program them in with the kit. But if you are tight for space and a full drum kit isn't an option, then try a midi drum pad, I can't think of specific model names of the top of my head but basically it's a tabletop drum kit, with pads that have MIDI and pedals on the floor so you can play them in. There are even super cheap roll up mats that have pads with MIDI, but they can be really shit as loads of them don't have any velocity sensors so you end up with everything being the same velocity, which sounds like ass. I have a Donner DED200 drum kit and I use it to control Spectre Digital's Extinction Level Event and even set it up to do double bass drums and replaced my hi hat with an x hat, since the pedal is now another bass. On that note, realism also comes from tone, and many drum modules and libraries are shit, and sound way too processed and clean to sound realistic, with drums recorded in isolation, no room noise or bleed or any of the actual sonic characteristics of a micd up acoustic drum set. So, Spectre Digital's Extinction Level Event is my personal favourite as it's made to be ultra realistic and has all the features of the acoustic kit sound - from multiple mics, listener perspective (drummer perspective vs audience), to room mics, room settings and even bleed between the mics which helps them actually work together and create an in the room live acoustic kit feel, instead of a programmed isolated drum machine that sticks out like a sore thumb. The drums and cymbals also all are completelh dry and not processed to shit, so they actually sound organic, but you can select presets where they are mixed. The icing on the cake is that it works on the free Kontakt Player so you only really pay for the library, which really isn't too expensive last time I checked, and it had an update with more parts, so more toms, more cymbals etc. But honestly even the basic master kit was packed with features, like two crashes, a ride, a China, a pedal hi hat, an x hat or am optional stack, a splash, four toms I think too a snare and a bass. Each of those instruments is also customisable, which is especially cool on the snare as the selection of snare drums you get is really cool with some amazing sounding ones. I overall love that library so much and the fact that I can essentially turn my entry level Donner drum set into a high end acoustic kit. Also of you're struggling with programming, I think Scott from Chernobyl Studios has a course I programming drums like a real drummer, so I'd check that out.

Fireeeeeeee 💥

I would love to see FL add a feature for closed hi hats that would let us derive our open hats from the hi hat source being played as opposed to using random open hats. just an idea

Theres a tool in FL called humanization and it works well on drums. Usually when i program drums, i place the notes and adjust the velocity. I also make the length of each notes about the length of a drummer would play. I then aplly the humanization tool

Some very, VERY subtle ''random'' automation of a bunch of different parameters can also help make a part sound more alive. The wilder you get with it, the less it'll suit something that is supposed to sound like real traditional drums, but having a pitch shift, freq shift, volume, different waveshapers and more all drift imperceptibly subtly in ways that don't or at least hardly line up is very cool. With synths, there is a crazy amount of knobs to very subtly drift, FL's formula controller and linking automation together are huge. One goes up and down over 5 beats, others over 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 17 etc., takes a lot of beats before an exact pattern of overlap occurs again. You can make the automation not just a simple up/down if you want it to sound a bit more spontaneous, but going too far with that may make the polymeter effect more noticeable, I'm going for something smooth and gradual when doing this. Be especially subtle with certain stacked effects, such as freq and pitch shifters together or stacked distortion, as the difference between spots where a bunch of their automation is high and where it is low will be more easily noticeable. Also, if your synth has oscilator drift or phase start randomness or something, consider turning that on.

it should also be noted that your drums don't *have* to sound realistic if you're writing in a more electronic genre or you just wanna get weird with it then go ahead; hit 2 cymbals and 4 toms at the same time, play an open and close hi-hat simultaneously, go bonkers

Good tips
