How to record a drum cover of a song?

  • sega

    Go to the studio and record your cover properly, with good real sound from your playing, not pornography with faux barics! This is not a cover, but a senseless antics on the camera) it is better to have no microphones at all and with a screeching sound than drums overlaid on top, stuffed in a sequencer!

    In theory, they try, on the contrary, to get rid of the drums from the track, is there any point in adding a backing track and playing without sound? It's the same as singing with plywood.

    And so now even some phones shoot sound suitable for listening

    Maybe they didn’t understand, I have a cover for a pop song with an invented drum part, and I don’t just want to repeat the drum part that is already there. And first of all, I would like to show just the idea itself, and not how I "cool" ruble) But few people will appreciate if you just lay out the track.

    As for the studio, I completely agree, but I’m not doing it seriously enough to invest in this business, and besides, I live in a small town, and this whole procedure will be difficult.



    As I understand it, a poor sound is better, but alive? By the way, I have a cheap set of microphones for installation and a mixer, but when I output from the mixer directly to the laptop, in general, some kind of horror turned out. Maybe somehow you can still do without a sound card, so that the sound is better than on the phone at least)?

    Duc is easier for a sound to borrow from someone, since there are no Micks.

    the fact of the matter is that there is no one to borrow from, the maximum I can find for 1 entrance, and then I'm not sure. By the way, too, the question is, if you bring a single-channel sound from the mixer to the norms, what will happen?

  • kreker

    Well, if you have some kind of working material there for personal review or for your musicians, it's easier to shoot with a camera. Well, if you really want to get confused with audibility for such a track in your ears - you write drums to the camera, you put a track on the video.

  • lucky83

    I want it for the people, so that it was beautiful) That's the question and raised, if you record the vidos, and add a track, will it be acceptable? Because some people immediately bomb from such vidos) I'm interested in finding out opinions, and maybe someone will tell you the most profitable option in my conditions.

  • kreker

    well, if you put live drums and you can mix it normally. But in general, to make it beautiful, you need to get at least a mini studio set. Someone writes covers on goupro.

  • lucky83

    everything depends on finances) I do not quite understand how you propose to do it. Record something live and mix with what I created in FL?

  • kreker

    You put a camera (a camera, that is?), write the sound of drums from it, superimpose an audio track for which you played on a video on which the sound is only drums, output a level there, an equalizer, etc. in any video editor. It may turn out more or less, many fans of drama covers on YouTube started this way. In principle, I once wrote drums on camera, it was relatively listenable. Well, that is, without a terrible fart and overload there, the camera is simple, not a DSLR, it is clear that in terms of frequencies it is a little meager. The rest depends on the camera, on the reels, on the room, on the dynamics of the game.

    they didn't understand you unequivocally - although it seems like guys with a head)

    if there is a minus, do it, take it off. even an iPhone will pull without microphones. the main thing is how to play - some people can fuck up everything with the game and there will be an overload, which they will write off to the camera's capabilities.

    listen to your game from the side and you will understand whether it is worth writing or waiting.
    it
    makes no sense to do something in programs - everyone has already seen enough of such videos and they are still going on)

    putting your game on a prescribed track is absolutely fine. the main thing is to play what I wanted myself.

    write yourself down to begin with and you will hear what needs to be removed/added.

    All I do is use the recorder and overdub onto the original. I don’t have microphones, I don’t have any experience, the instrument is so-so, but I don’t take away the desire. Even one microphone can record the suitability.
