How To Mix Live Drums In Logic Pro X

[@CentreLine2]

That was absolutely fantastic ! If anyone is a starter to this, this has to be one the best videos on the subject !

[@JayStiqs]

I literally learnt something in the first 2 minutes. I literally came into this thinking.... pssst Ive been mixing drums for my videos for forever! I probably know all he's gonna talk about. Solid lesson my dude! Thanks!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Yo that means a lot! I appreciate the feedback for real!

[@therapcave]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been mixing for a long time but mainly dealt with vocals and electronic / digital production. I have a client who has asked me to mix their live drums and this tutorial gave me a few extra things to think about and gave me some very solid tips. You da man, GOD BLESS YOU, BROTHER!

[@jordindearinger]

All of your videos are so immensely helpful dude, thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge!

[@Yhuntermusic]

My absolute pleasure to share! Blessings!

[@JiNKA]

This is probably the most useful mix video I’ve ever seen. Don’t get me wrong, Nolly’s tips are amazing but just working with base level, no third party extras, this really just pays dividends. Keep em coming man!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Yo that means a lot! Thank you for watching!

[@StratsRUs]

Superb ! Thank you

[@TheYeetusLord]

I just had a set of mics and interface arrive over the last few days and set them up just yesterday. I'd no idea how to mix drums or any form of audio files for that matter and your video has been a huge help. Thank you so so much man! :)

[@Yhuntermusic]

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching!

[@carloalcos]

And that's how you gain a subscriber! Nice work, great tutorial, thanks!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks a lot for tuning in and subbing!

[@tspirer]

Great tutorial. I like your “less is more” approach. The plethora of videos out there on available plugins & mastering can get overwhelming sometimes to some of us amateur newbie home-engineers out there and this is great. Implemented the drum kick track duplication method you posted in this or another video - game changer. Thanks man!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and supporting!

[@ludvikhestbek6745]

Amazing video my guy! I learnt a lot of new stuff and you’ve really widened my perspective on drum mixing. Keep up the great work!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Wow that means a lot! Thank you so much for watching!

[@phillharris7219]

Bro the wealth of knowledge in this video! Thank you so much!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Glory to God! More to come!

[@JUSTBMSC]

Perfect explanation bro! this is amazing! Using some UAD plugins on top of this, but this process makes things so much easier

[@Yhuntermusic]

Glory to God! Glad to hear man thank you 🙏🏾

[@michaellitton4380]

Man I really appreciate these videos

[@derek_jay4320]

Very nice mix 😎

[@alexandercbaum386]

This was awesome. Thank you sir

[@doubleahitmusic]

Great tutorial! I’m the same way with drummer’s perspective mixes since I’m a drummer haha!

[@doubleahitmusic]

Sidebar: What mic do you use to record these videos?

[@Yhuntermusic]

@@doubleahitmusic Right on man and I just used my iPhone to capture the audio.

[@doubleahitmusic]

Yaahn Hunter Jr Wow that’s awesome! You made it sound great too. Good stuff!

[@VitaE4Life]

I just started recording my own drums with mics on Logic, and this gave me soooo many ideas! Thank you so much dude. I subbed for sure. If there are any single videos I can buy related to drums, let me know. I subbed as well. Thanks so much for this!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks a lot! I'm humbled! You can join my channel to view private exclusive live-streams and much more! Lots of great things ahead!

[@GeraldLawMusic]

Great video man! I put this right to use as I watched and the drums sound great!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Right on so glad to hear!!! Blessings!

[@ememc2093]

as a singer songwriter who's still living and learning especially when it comes to drums, that was awesome thank you:)

[@Yhuntermusic]

Happy to help! Glad you got some value out of it!

[@ememc2093]

Do you always hard pan the Tom’s? I still feel softer pan feels more real… the hard left/right hits of the Tom’s feels a little unreal to me… thoughts?

[@ememc2093]

also while I’m here… I used a an extra mic for a sub-bass outside the kick, just basically on a pillow right up at a wall… then just boomed the crap out it with eq and that seemed to give the pulse an extra pump… thoughts on sub-basses?

[@Yhuntermusic]

@@ememc2093 Depends on the record. I come from a fusion/gospel background using 3-5 toms. It's common to hard pan toms in Gospel specifically.. Other genres may vary.

[@Yhuntermusic]

@@ememc2093 Sub bass is great! If I had the setup for that, I would definitely do that instead of relying on adding samples!

[@iamantoniofernandez]

Very helpful! Thank you so much for this

[@jamiemoore98]

What a great tutorial, thank you for this. I'm completely new to this and feel confident in getting a great mix following you.

[@MrMyrie47]

Love the info in the vid and I like that your are doing things in real time but it would be helpful for my eyes for you to maybe do some post editing and magnify certain things when you are tweaking knobs and making adjustments to make it easier on the viewers eyes

[@Yhuntermusic]

No problem at all! Thank you for the feedback! Definitely will consider that 🙏🏾

[@Drumde]

Best video I’ve seen after months of looking for a good mixing drums!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!

[@alexandermorgunov.]

Thank you very much for this valuable information!!! Could you please reveal one secret? What do most KZbin drummers do, so they sound the same on all devices? I followed all the steps and I got completely different sound in headphones, on a computer, on a laptop, on a pad and on the phone… What should be done to sound the same on all devises? Would appreciate the answer ))

[@devonhore8794]

@@Yhuntermusic Just out of curiosity what sort of gain level for your mics do you record your entire kit at?

[@Yhuntermusic]

@@devonhore8794 I try to get them at -6db or so. Hitting the yellow for the most part. I'll clip them if I'm going for a dirty HiHop vibe though.

[@highvoltageatx]

Great content Yaahn and Thank You for your channel! I am new to recording my live drums and could use some suggestions on how to set up the template before even getting to the mixing phase, Do you have any videos on mic techniques and creating template? Thanks!

Which is better logic or studio one for drums? IMO studio one sounds little more beefy though logic is very crisp and lean

You have a great drum sound even before you start mixing ! , I have the best drums , best mics , my snare is always muffled and nasal , very very difficult to get a great snare sound , you should do a video on snare setup and mic’s , tuning etc . Nice video .

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks a lot! I actually have a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3awZqaKd9SVh80

[@ShawnCharles]

@@Yhuntermusic Thanks very much , lots of tips there , I’ll try them out tomorrow! , the 3 finger spacing is very interesting , I’ve always been told to put the mics as close to the heads as possible , clearly the wrong advice , I’ll get into it tomorrow in the studio . Many thanks again .

Hey yahn what’s your favorite setup on drums. The one Tom the the two floor toms or the 2 toms and the one or two floor toms
