How to quickly record a drum cover with a Roland TD17-KVX!

[@jenko9606]

I have been wanting to record drums ever since I got the TD-17KVX and you are the only person onYT who has tough it without spending any money on irigs and thinks like that! Thanks so much.

Hi

[@terjehaugland6768]

Thanx for a great video, ive had my drums for nearly 2 years and want to record but have dreaded the instruction-process. You explain very well, thanx man.

[@bahuelga]

Awesome tutorial! I’m going to pick up a TD-17KVX soon (can’t bring my acoustic into a new apartment ☹️) and I’ve always wanted to record covers so this was super helpful!!! All the best!

[@epweurdsaoeu]

What's the name of the first cable you brought out? I couldn't understand what you called it. I know one end goes into the "mix in" on my TD 17 kit. Where does the other end go? My goal is to be able to play the kit and record a song from my phone, in sync with one another. Is there a way I can bluetooth my phone into the TD 17 and make this work?

[@stevenf4511]

Great tutorial thanks! Ive done some recording for my son's drum covers but the sound is a little distorted. Could you please give an example of the 'mix volume' settings, (numbers you choose) for good quality recorded sound? Im particularly interested in the volume numbers you use for 'Audio In' and 'Song'. Thank you for your help.

[@hussainbachlani1066]

HI dear, could you kindly share, how we can import the recorded songs in to the mobile. One more question how can we remove or hide the original played Drum and re play my own drum on this trace and recod it accordingly thanks and kind regards

[@MrOliverovski]

I have a lot off problems with my TD-17kwx.First off all the music coming out off my speakers when I place an SD card in to my laptop is much quieter than my drums and sometimes I can hear the original drum in the background.I did 8 recordings yesterday and all except number 1 recording where not good.Number 1 was perfect as the music and the drums where the same level.Unfortunately I did not write it down.Today I went to record my drums over drumless track and when I pushed play green button it kept playing the song that I recorded before REC007 and I was not able to go to a next one REC008.What I do as well I sing over the original singer or I compose playing drums and singing.I really don’t know what to do as I tried everything and I need help.

[@redeyedbuggers]

I just bought a 128gb microSD card to record drum covers onto but I keep reading that you can only use 32gb SD card. Do I need to buy a 32gb SD card, Or do they mean you can only import 32gb ONTO the module? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. I’m new to edrums.

[@JoshLaneDrummer]

Great tutorial! Just picked up my TD17 and loving it so far. Question, can you do the same with the Bluetooth function from your phone to record? Or does it create a lag? Lastly, what's the easiest way to transfer the recorded file from the micro sd card to your computer or phone to quickly put out your drum cover?

[@jacobpando8881]

For me it does lag so im tryna figure out how to do it without bluetooth

[@ingenious4t]

Great video thanks, just a quick question - how do I delete recorded songs from the sd card. I can’t seem to find anything in the manual!

[@migodrums957]

You're going to have to insert the card in your PC or Laptop and delete the files inside like you would do with any other support, it can't be done straight from the module I guess...

[@XXtreemeDrummer]

Great tutorial, thank you. Can you store in the SD individual track for each drum (bass-snare-hi hat)?

[@migodrums957]

Hi, thank you very much. Unfortunately you can't, at least not this way... You can only record your drums as a whole. Maybe there's a way to do it connecting a laptop and working with MIDI, but I never did...

[@XXtreemeDrummer]

@@migodrums957 thanks very much for helping me. :) Have a nice day.

[@CarvalhoRaul07]

Tks ! Great tutorial!

[@cwilson2001]

Thanks for this helpful video! Sorry if this is a basic question but does this somehow remove the original song’s drums when you do this, then record yours instead (so substitute yours for theirs?). Or are you recording on top of theirs? And is there a way with the Td17 to practice on a cover song without hearing the original drummer’s rhymes, just your own?

[@migodrums957]

Thanks man! So, what I do is playing directly on drumless tracks, you can find many of them on KZbin (unfortunately not all songs are available in this version) and they are exactly like the originals but without drums. So they are great both for practicing and recording. The TD17 module just records what you play it's not a mixing device, so it won't help you eliminating the drums from a track.

[@cwilson2001]

@@migodrums957 Thanks, that’s really helpful! I found freedrumlesstracks.com so will try that next although I may need to change mp3 to wav files to import to td17 (I think? For recording at least). Thanks again for the info!

[@migodrums957]

@@cwilson2001 You don't need to import anything to the TD17 module.. I just play the music from a laptop through the module (with an aux cable) using tracks available on KZbin, and I record myself playing over them. This way you don't need to import files, you just record on the module what's both music and drumming together

[@larsulrich26ulrich42]

İt helped me a lot !!! Great, one question, how am İ going to transfer or use with Garageband or any drum program?? Thanks!!

[@migodrums957]

Glad it helped! 😉 If you record onto an SD card like I do in the video, once you export the track it will be saved in the card as an audio WAV file. You can import the file in any software for mixing and editing

hello migo,everyone says record electronic drums with a usb cable connected to a computer or use a midi cable and other mixing stuff. Can I get a good sound quality buy just mixing the drum from the module and increase the general sound and just record to the sd card ? How do you transfer the file in the sd card to a computer ?

[@migodrums957]

Hi, in terms of sound quality I record just mixing in the module the levels of drums and backing track, you can see my videos and see if you are satisfied with that.

[@migodrums957]

Hi! What I hear in a lot of drum covers with e-drums is bad levels mix between snare, kick and cymbals. I regulated them making the snare and the kick come out a little more incisive. In terms of sounds, I used the Audio drum kit of the module but I modified the snare (changed it to Maple and worked a bit on muffling and tuning), the kick and the tom toms. You will see that we just a little work the sound will improve a lot. Also, the general gain of the drums must be higher than the track you are playing on of course

[@mahensiriwardana1334]

Migo Drums thanks so much ..I will try what you’ve explained..this helps a lot. I’ll let you know once it done ..one more clarification,how do you increase the gain of the drums???

Hello brother, could you please explain the process in more detail, how do you connect to the module and what do you record with the cell phone or some program for sure that many of us are in trouble so I have this same module and I bought an IRig, but the truth is I don't like it sound, your sound is clean and it sounds very good I would appreciate it if you could help me more in detail, thanks brother, It also looks simple but I do not give😩

[@migodrums957]

Hello, I sum up how I record so you can do the same if you like: I connect my laptop to the module with an aux cable in the entry "Mix in" as explained in the video. I insert the SD card on which I will save the track, and I record the video with my phone. Then I play a drumless track from KZbin and I drum over it, recording both the drums and the music together (so you have to select "all" in the recording screen). Once satisfied, I save in the SD card so I have now 1 file audio (SD card) and 1 file video (phone). I mix them with Windows Movie Maker muting the video and trying to sync the audio as well as I can. That's it, I only use sounds that are available in the module and no additional softwares. Let me know if you have questions

Hello, I don't think there are any requirements about the SD card. All cards come with the adapter to be inserted in PC and that is what you need to insert them in the Roland module too. In terms of capacity, you don't need a crazy memory as you will normally save only few audio files on it and you can delete them just after copying them on your PC.
