I like your tom impression :-)

Once you do all the things to the various drum hits (eq, TS, compressor, etc...) how hard is it to make those sounds a new drum set so you can call it up again in a new song without repeating all the steps in the video?

Thanks

Your videos are outstanding. Thank you for the wonderful instruction.

Great videos! Some of the best I've seen. Thank you Danny!

   The phrase "Holy S#*7" kept coming to mind!!  haha Danny these videos were awesome and very helpful brother.  Thanks a ton.  I have been fighting with myself for months wanting to work more with recording live drums rather than tracking with V drums and using samples (as you know that's how I have been working for the most part).

    This past Friday I said screw it...  I went out and bought a nice little Taye rock pro 5 piece kit (used), took it home, set it up, tuned it up, and started hanging mics.  Within a couple hours I was tracking.  I got some nice sounds, but the information here will help me make them even better.  Thanks a ton here bro!  New tricks make me happy. 

Danny - I'm another in the crowd who learned some cool things from your videos here. Thanks much! I'm going to use your tips and this perspective for sure.

You guys are so awesome, thanks so much! I'm stoked you like this stuff and hope I can keep on batting 1000 here while keeping you interested. I got some cool stuff in the archives I'm pulling out that you may also enjoy. I'm editing a few that I did for a few other sites so you don't have to hear who I was talking to while wondering what I was on about. LOL! This is so cool...thanks guys! :)

Max: that's a great question and one I just happened to do a little video on for you. Rather than explain it, I wanted to show you a few other cool things. So this video will just be a "Cool things you may or may not have known" type of vid.

The answer in short to your question is, you either save specific presets for specific instruments, or you save a track template if you're using these Transient plugs on it. You'll always have to tweak for the mix/song you're working with, but at least your starting points will be there. The vid covers a little of that as well as some drum stuff that you might find interesting along with one of my songs as the test subject.

It's rendering now. As soon as it's done, I'll post up the link so you and everyone else can check it out. Some pretty cool stuff in this, but most of it, the advanced Sonar users will know about already. But there's one nice little drum trick in it that I think everyone will borrow. :) I'll be in touch in about 30 minutes or so...watch this space.

Chuck: LOL! Did you post that before or after we talked on the phone? Hahaha...thanks brother. Was really good to hear from you tonight and catch up a bit. Always a blast of a time when we get talking. Thanks for the call man and the kind words. Gotta love those "wtf" moments eh? :)

Ok this video will probably get lost in the posts here, but it's just a quickie to show you a few other cool things. Most of you will be familiar with this stuff, but a few may not.

Warning: extreme, frustrated, political lyrics ahead. No cursing though, so no worries. :)

This should answer a few of your questions, Maximumpower. But if the track template thing isn't quite your bag, you can always do what I said in my last post. Create a preset that works well on a snare, kick, tom etc, save it as "max snare" or whatever you want to call it, and you can just fire up that preset and then tweak it accordingly if you decide to use it on another snare or something. Starting points are always good especially if you use a lot of the same instrumentation. This is where the track template thing can really help. Enjoy! :)

I had typed it out & then decided to call you up and say hello. When we got off the phone I said the hell with it as I wanted to also thank you publicly, so I posted it anyway!

Hey Danny, Are these videos all set to private? I can see them from here with the link but they don't show up under your uploads on youtube. ? Just curious. It would be cool to be able to go back and watch them again as needed without having to look up the thread on here bro. Is there a reason you have set them up that way?

Danni,
 
Killer video!!!  I really liked your common sense real world approach...'really put's things into terms the "average" home studio guy can understand.
 
Oh, I watched a Youtube vid of you playing one of your songs.  Man, you've got some serious guitar chops...very cool!
