Lesson transcript
Drum Recording Session
All right, so we're ready to record some drums.
Check Levels
Now we're going to check if all the levels are all right.
- We sound check individual drums with Chris.
- And now we're going to try and record a little bit with me playing.
Potential Issues
There will probably be a few issues because I'm playing differently.
- I probably play louder, so there might be a little bit of tweaking here and there.
Let's give it a go and see what happens.
Recording
And I'm going to press record here.
Here we go!
So we got some material we can work with.
I kind of try to give it full volume as I would play on the track, so we are in the right dynamic range.
Let's have a look and see if there are any problems.
