How to Quantize and Cleanup Your Acoustic Drum Mixes In Studio One!

[@jeromeweaver809]

Thank you for choosing Studio One as your preferred DAW. Videos will help us who are learning to use this DAW.

I'm glad that finally, someone using the Studio One Artist gets to explain how things are done with drum alignment.

[@Wolfaren07]

Im new to Studio One. I love that almost every process in the DAW is really straight foward. Best decission I did, honestly.

[@Minister_JustinLewa]

thank you brother i have loved how you do your drum mixing

[@JamieGFletcher]

Fantastic video. So many useful tips! I've been recording drums in Studio One for years and you have just helped me sort out some of my biggest issues. Thank you so much!

[@carolinealmonte]

Hey thank you so much for this video! I'm new to Studio one. I have a quick question, wouldn't quantizing each track separately give me phase issues ?

[@EricMakingWaves]

Great tutorial. Also, I could listen to you talk all day. I'm coming to Studio One from Pro Tools and couldn't be happier. Especially because of stuff like this! Thanks for making this!

[@Johnmike]

Awesome!

Finally, someone who has enough of Beat Detective.

[@brianmarker]

this is EXACTLY what I needed. THANK YOU

[@TheRealFlapman]

Very helpfull, I wasn't aware of that "strip silence" function before and - believe it or not - I used to cut out everyting manually. Been doing it for years. ^^ So thank you very very much!

[@steveauttonberry1018]

Thank you, Sir! Never knew audio could be quantized.

[@rocketsauce5067]

Thank you very much.

Thank alot for this tutorial 👍👍

[@kiddynamite3931]

1st off, thanks for sharing your mixing technique. I'm a newb to recording drums, and I didn't realize how involved it gets. That was the 1st S1 pro vid that actually made sence. Newb question. Do you add your plug ins, and do your EQ following the recording? Thanks

[@Johnmike]

It depends on if I’m recording them or they were already recorded before…either way I do processing on them after I clean them

[@kiddynamite3931]

@@Johnmike Thank you. I had figured that, however I'm not finding many drum videos for S1 pro. Is Studio One not used as much as other DAWs for tracking drums? MUST sub to your channel, and check out your content

[@markfulwider]

Great job!

[@sallysmusicproductionspte.2802]

Hey man i realised you didnt do quantization for your overheads. Any reason for that? Thanks!

[@Johnmike]

Too many transients...so I manually adjust those just by splitting and nudging the regions

[@dexterbattle362]

Great video bro!

[@Johnmike]

Thanks!

[@jonathanprato]

Nice process, I also use S1, loving it ! Quick question though, since your first few drum tracks are pretty much in the same position, isn’t it possible to select those tracks and just do one quantization for all the selected tracks ? Or do you have to do them one by one ? 👍🏻

[@jonathanprato]

Alright, sorry, just saw you did it for the toms and snare... 😅

[@jakubjunga]

Thanks :)

[@seandunawaydrums1060]

This doesn't keep the phase relationship between tracks and doesn't sound very good.

[@michaellavender]

But does this stop the robotic sound from happening?

[@officialWWM]

Drummers play out of time. That’s part of the performance. Everyone else in the band plays to the drummer. Personally, I don’t think drums should be touched like this. It’s the slight movement that gives music its feel. This was not done in the 50s, 60s, 70s etc and a lot of those songs have stood the test of time. How many modern songs that have been “locked to the grid” will stand that same test?

[@brandoncrenshaw]

Do you have a class on this bro?

[@Johnmike]

Not directly...but I will have one soon

[@Kmonahan318]

Go to Options, Advanced, check box "Draw Events Translucent"....you welcome :)

[@trsfworld460]

Can I export tracks from studio one to any other daw?

[@Johnmike]

Yes there is a “export stems” option in the menu
