Literally one of the best 7 minute tutorials I have ever watched. So much gold in here.

[@JanusRasmussen]

Nice, thank you very much! I'm happy you think so! 🙌

[@nicorentzsch9946]

the trick where you route the envelope follower of the hi-hat to the gain of the utility is GOLD!

[@johnfall6972]

What's always cool about Janus' tips is that they're always focused on creativity just as much as process. So many tutorials tend to zero in on the technical capability of a DAW, instrument or plugin, whereas these videos demonstrate the cool things that can be done with a bit of creative thinking as well, something which is perhaps hidden away by a lot of producers who maybe want to keep tips and tricks to themselves. The reverb automation on just selected clap hits is a great example of this. Awesome as always!

[@JanusRasmussen]

Thank you very much! I'm happy to hear that you like the creativity approach I'm trying to have with these videos 🙌

[@samuelll3166]

Loved the envelope follower to the gain with the hi-hat track/percussion loop. Very cool! Gotta say the pace of this video was spot on. Felt like I got a ton of information in a flash.

[@JanusRasmussen]

Thank you! Yes I'm quite proud of how that trick worked out, hehe. I try to keep my videos to the point, great to hear that you appreciate it 🙌

[@itsAustinGreen]

Been learning production through KZbin for 3 years and this is the best drum tutorial I’ve seen by far!! Definitely going to be rewatching this weekly because the tips are invaluable 🙌

[@yoryoryoryor]

Something is wrong with the youtube algorithm. I enjoy making music. I am always watching music production videos. And Kiasmos is one of my favorite bands. Your videos have never been recommended to me on youtube. I was actually googling to see if you had solo work and found your channel. I couldn't believe it.

[@JanusRasmussen]

Thank you for finding my channel :) The KZbin algorithm is no joke to get past, haha.

I thought my drums were good, then I watched this and realized how much better they can be... Love these tips, can’t wait to try them out!

[@everpuremusic]

Two more things, I often do, when things are too tight to the grid: 1. Apply a swing setting from Live's stock list of grooves. 2. Find a drum loop that works with the machine beat and use Live's extract groove feature and then apply that drum beat's swing to the machine beat. Even with subtle settings, this can work wonders.

[@JanusRasmussen]

That's a lovely tip! I do it from time to time as well. Works great :)

[@alexislevrier5670]

Really needed that explanation concerning the drums. I get my tracks reviewed by some well known DJs and producers and the main thing in my tracks is that it lacks something in the drums but my chords and melodies are always great but I had to focus on my drums. As your are one of my favourite artists for music production, this video was perfect for me to understand how to make it more lively. Thanks Janus ;)

[@JanusRasmussen]

Wow, thank you very much for your kind words! It's really encouraging for me and makes me want to continue making more videos! Happy to hear that these tips could help you 🙌

Honestly, we want to learn from professionals! 🙏🏻 also, the track I was talking about is called ‘Sleepless’ and it’s available on my KZbin channel if you want to check it out.

[@thetylersherman]

I like to automate one of the tips you did here. You made some small 0-35 cent detunes on your claps; I like to assign an LFO to a Frequency Shifter with a "random" waveshape matched to the time interval of my percussion... that way it detunes my hats and percs to about that same range (up to ~40 cents), making every hit is just a tiny bit different.

Thank you. Are you using just audio files or you are using a drum rack to? If you are using drum rack, at what stage you are flattern (converting) to audio from MIDI?

[@JanusRasmussen]

In this example, I'm only using audio files. I normally use both drum rack and audio files; it just depends on what I'm going for. Usually, I flatten down the midi if I want to get fancy with editing the drums further :) hope that helps. Thank you for watching 🙌
