How to Use Samples for Huge Radio Drum Sounds.

[@michaeltablet8577]

My last mix sounded like we used stool samples. Thanks so much your videos are so helpful!

[@BDHO73]

😂

[@BobbyHuff]

Stool samples…. Hahahahahaha

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

@@BobbyHuff I hear they’re the sh*t !!

[@xHeadcleanerx]

Instead, why not use chair samples.

[@asthemoon8296]

I do love and use slate trigger a ton, but this is truly a more solid and universal way to approach using samples within a daw. Only thing I'd add, especially as a fellow cubase user, is to quickly run through your hit points just to check they are all actually at the start of the hit, as hit point detection isn't always 100% accurate. Most songs might only have a hundred or so snare hits, so can usually zoom in and hit next next next and visually check each hit point in about 2 minutes.

[@BobbyHuff]

Great point!

[@joshuaphillips4824]

I agree, slate trigger does an excellent job as well! Love this content Dr. Bob. It’s so good

[@swettyspaghtti]

If anyone needs a good free drum kit vst i would try MTPower Drum kit . Amazing snare for us poor folk.

[@southdank3190]

Great video!!!!!!!!!!

[@enduromusicproductions2351]

Good ol' fashioned "do it the right way" advice. Love it! 👍🏼

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks man!

[@varunZinger]

GODD AMNNNNNNN !!! beauty sound gotta try the coated 19 plugin , amazing sounds !! I heard the Kip Moore Album , specially the songs Southpaw and Fire on Wheels and went WHAM BAM thats that nashville drum sound ! Gonna try this , thanks Bob !!

[@MrJinusean90]

The pros use audio files for triggering and check exactly if they are in phase. Which programm you use for the samples doesnt matter

[@MrJinusean90]

@@morbidmanmusic yes, when He mean pros like Chris Lord Alge.....

[@BobbyHuff]

That used to be the way but many use this method now...

[@AtharvaMusic1]

Dr Bob.....you are Amazing. You just saved me a lot of time, labour & Money with this amazing trick. Love your channel & everything that you teach is simply amazing. thannks a lot for generously giving us all that knowledgs. God Bless.

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Atharva! Appreciate the kind words!!

[@mixourband]

I use Logic's drum doubler works great. Btw I purchased Basic Drums after watching the video thanks, Bob.

[@BobbyHuff]

Great! You won’t be disappointed!

[@johnviera3884]

Great video. Thanks

[@bryancolevox]

Great video Bobby! You rock bro! Just upgraded to Sup Drummer 3 which has some great sounds as well.

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks for watching and yes it does!

[@forestwhitehead]

Dude these are just great. Buying this kit.

[@BobbyHuff]

You will not be disappointed!!

[@richprincipe749]

Thank you again Dr Bob

My pleasure Rich!

gracias Dr. Bob, great tip for drum surgery

De Nada my friend!

[@lukedavismusic]

Imma gonna try this today!! Thanks Doc! :)

[@BobbyHuff]

Do it Luke!

[@adammurdock4319]

Logic has a super cool feature for this! Have you ever tried filtering the track to get more accurate triggers if you have issues getting accurate triggers? It’s been a minute since I saw a video pop up. Love KZbin’s sub systems.

[@BobbyHuff]

Hey Adam! Yes if I get tracks with tons of bleed I’ll have to do some gating or filtering before I hit the detection for midi. Generally Cubase handles this very well as I’m sure most DAWS do by now.

[@5T3U3RM4NN]

thanks a lot for your great tips !!

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks for watching Volker!

[@NikolajChristensen]

I've done this and it's a great approach. I did find it too cumbersome if I had to move a few of the live snare recordings around afterwards (like flying a fill to another location). Then you have to redo it. But great tip nevertheless if that doesn't bother you. I guess you are in essence comparing the triggering algorithms of Cubase vs. Trigger.

[@BobbyHuff]

Good point. What I would do in that case is render the midi to audio and then what ever you needed to move around from the live drums grab the rendered audio at the same time. The algorithm in Cubase is far superior to Trigger. I love Slates stuff big time but trigger is not accurate on a pro level.

[@NikolajChristensen]

@@BobbyHuff good idea. That would work great.

[@BobbyHuff]

@@NikolajChristensen cool man!

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

@@BobbyHuff When you say “not accurate” do you mean that it triggers too fast/slow? Have you witnessed this with Steven Slate Drums too (a Slate problem or just T2)? Wondering if triggering through SSD (SS Drums) via MIDI would be better than the same sounds through Trigger2?

[@BobbyHuff]

@@ThemFuzzyMonsters the Trigger samples would not be accurate throughout the song. Some early, others late. Triggering SSD by midi is accurate!!

[@bevo65]

The perfect end to a great week. Love your lessons. (PS - Bought that t-shirt.)

[@BobbyHuff]

Hahaha! Great and thanks for buying the shirt!!

[@JaviBello]

Very useful as always, bobby!

[@BobbyHuff]

Thank you Javi!

[@keisari3]

Great! Now I can never unsee those tiny red ears glowing, while I try to concentrate on what you´re saying. :D

[@BobbyHuff]

Haha!!!

[@aaronm5535]

Big fan thanks doc 🙋‍♂️

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Aaron!

[@joehazeofficial2]

Very cool, if the audio to midi is solid and DAW delay compensation is working this is epic. I like getting everything to audio so I can fix fix. I don't trust the modern DAW with keeping stuff in time/ phase (ya Tape had its thing, but it was part of it). lol We used sound replacer and hand editing back in the day (check phase), don't replace augment!! And...way back it was the Forat F16 that Bruce made or the Fairlight.

[@BobbyHuff]

Forat!!! haha. Havent heard that name in forever!

[@gamesandgear]

Loved it!!

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Cody!

[@amberwoodstudio]

Great tip!

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Steve!

[@danielfmyers]

I use Slate Trigger for livestream audio.

[@BobbyHuff]

Fair enough!

[@BerserkerVision]

I wish we could get that Black Album kick download to go with the snare. I pulled it from the recording but its not too good.

[@BobbyHuff]

I’ll figure that out..

[@DH-zw6vz]

Once again, Dr. Bob delivers!

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Dolb!

[@kevinkeyes6625]

To my amateur ears, the snare sounds a tiny bit too compressed. Ever since I heard Robin Trower day of the eagle, (which is way too compressed ) I'm sensitive to compression .

[@Fred.A.Dubeau]

Massey DRT works great in Pro Tools for this

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks for letting us know and sharing!

[@djfunkeedeemichaelh.hillge3184]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Michael!

[@JestaHs07]

Maybe remove your screen so we can see the settings on the DAW properly next time.

[@atreyfall3812]

When you make the midi track, what do you choose: Dinamic velocity or static velocity? and what configuration you put on the menu that opens when you click on create midi notes?

[@BobbyHuff]

Hey Atrey. I make all the midi notes at full velocity and let the live snare lead with the dynamics. Although every sample is at the same dynamic these VST instruments have a “round robin,” feature so they don’t play the exact same sample 2 hits in a row so it offers some differences in the nuances in the samples. Hope that answered your question.

[@atreyfall3812]

@@BobbyHuff It does! Than you! I was a little bit lost with all the myths that I have seen out there.

[@Musicmanbutte]

About drums, what program can i use to create my own drums? As i don't have my own drums and live in an apartment. So, how can i make my own drum tracks without having to play drums on my own. I can, but! I don't have a propper space for drum's, not to say I would get kicked out if i did play drums in my apartment. So i am looking for an alternative with software where I can create my own drum tracks.

[@BobbyHuff]

You could out your own drum sounds in a software sampler and program them. I do it ALL the time!

[@garrettward3447]

I understand using this technic to trigger a sample from a midi drum VST, but what if you want to use Audio drum samples. I use Slate trigger for that right now. Is there a better way?

[@BobbyHuff]

This is not from a midi drum kit. Its from midi notes generated from the live kit.

[@ryKirwan1]

✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Ryan!

[@BerserkerVision]

I've used EzDrummer since the first version. I don't make songs for radio or anything so they sound just fine. Run a new channel for each, turn off all effects and EQ each channel in DAW. If you play with the swing setting you can almost find a pocket. I do replace the snare with Dr. Bob's Black Album snare.

[@BobbyHuff]

Sounds like a great method!!

[@sbanville4761]

I'm wondering if anyone has tried this trick using Superior Drummer to play the MIDI back ?

[@BobbyHuff]

Yes...I use Superior Drummer 3!

[@gatherstudio5219]

Does reaper have this feature?

[@BobbyHuff]

I’m not sure as I’ve never used Reaper. Do a KZbin search on audio to midi in Reaper.
