1. why the fjook do the drums sound so weak? I tried setting their volume to full, and really lowered the volumes of the otehr audio tracks, but it still sounds ....wimpy. what am i doing wrong?

2. The drums again, sound really synthetic and too perfect, any way to correct this?
3. Any good VST drumset?

Err... I'm no expert in this, but :
1. It's MIDI drums right?? I dunno how it works but I suppose that's how it should be. Try recording the drums into audio and *maybe add a little overdrive to add warmth and increase its volume. Ample amount of reverb should help too.
2. Try varying the intensity of each hit (You using the MIDI map of Cubase right?) and *maybe recreate the ghost notes of the snare. Perhaps a soft & short delay would help?
3. The only VST drumset I've used it the one came with Computer Music magazine (they offered a few more studio-quality VST too thumbup.gif ), which is pretty good. They have one acoustic drum set and the rest are pretty much techno/electronica-ish. If you remember my track Oriental Break, the drums are coming directly from the VST.
*Don't have the CD with me now, it's with my friend, whom I've lost contact with.

Other than that, I fjooking dig the panning you did in the beginning. The riff's ace even though it's a cover/whatever.

OK, in understand this, but using midi drums, i tried applying effects available to the audio channels to it, but it seems to have different effects for midi altogether. Other than the way you mentioned, isnt there any other way to apply the effects directly to the midi track?

Ok, but this would mean that i would have to create the drums on different tracks, to isolate the snare so that I can export that as audio and add delay just to that. Is that correct? also, other than ghost notes, is there anything else that can be done?

if you still have it in your computer, maybe you could just upload the dll file for me. Anyway, how would you rate the drum set i used for the track? its called lm-7, and is the only one available wiht the cubase installation

1. Without a plug-in, I'm afraid not. Maybe some VSTi offers such function, but I'm not really sure as I have not used them.

2. Actually you don't really have to go through that much trouble lar. I've read this article Star whichs says that you could humanize ur drum tracks by adding some percussions (eg. bongos, conga & preferbly mic'ed up). Reverb is also very important & try not to make the drums stand up too much in the mix (esp the cymbals). I think if you put layers of audio track on top of it, you should be a ble to hide it.

3. The lm-7 is pretty poor imho, but it's good enough for backing tracks or electronica-type of drum beats... I think. Usually I'ill just use my soundcard's MIDI synth, doesn't make a huge difference tho.
I don't have the VST in my computer anymore, I'm trying to get it back but I've lost contact with my friend who borrowed it & Computer Music isn't popular enough to be on our bookstores tongue.gif .

Anyway once you've remix your track, post em up. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Thats john carpenter's genius. can you believe this guy, he writes, directs, produces his movies and composes their soundtrack. This track was from his movie, ghosts of mars. its very typical of him, simple repetative beat orientated groove but very catchy

Yeah... I wanted to use the logical editor to vary the velocity and position (More lazy feel) but I already mixed the backing track. Oh well... next time maybe. smile.gif
