when everyone else is settling down or even already asleep of course. Like a lot of people, I have very limited time to work on my recording projects and usually find the time only later in the evening.
That causes further frustration due to the added overdubs that may be required if something is missed and becomes especially tricky if trying to do "punch in & punch out" operations in short sections. Not only is it difficult to play them without disturbing other people, but it can also be hard to hear the backing tracks as well - so timing suffers. Some of it has to do with setting up mic positions and processing levels, as well as the difficulties involved while trying to nail certain complicated rolls and such - all while triggering the recording program on and off for each overdub or take.īut, on top of that, drums are freaking loud! (I know, big surprise). You see, I usually begin a recording project either playing guitar, bass or a basic drum beat (that's little more than a "click track"), and then adding the more complex "live" drum parts later (to better suit the overall "feel" of a more completed piece) - but these days I find myself increasingly bogged down when it comes to layering the drum tracks - due to using mostly "real" drums. that was until I started laying down my final drum tracks! I was progressing fairly well on my latest project.
