Re-Edit help: getting new drums to sit with track
Re-Edit help: getting new drums to sit with track Posted on: 17.09.2011 by Johnsie Kingrea Hey everybody, so I'm a huge fan of old tracks and would love to have the ability to throw on my own drums to make it more club friendly. I'm struggling with have my drums sitting with the old track. I hope this makes sense but whenever I hear other people's re edits it sounds as if the drums are fused with the old track, where as whenever I try doing it you can tell the drums are separate from the old track. So how can I glue these things together. | |

| Breana Singerman 28.09.2011 | I personally wouldn't sidechain the original track as you're going to mess with the dynamics that made you want to edit it in the first place. |
| Dung Domingus 27.09.2011 | ^^^^This plus side chain compression. Add a compressor over the original track and side chain it to the drums and adjust the threshold (subtly), attack, relaese, knee, and ratio until you are satisfied... a little bit of reverb (search for the right reverb not just the default reverb) may help to make the it sound more natural/acoustic too. |
| Breana Singerman 25.09.2011 | There are a comple of things you can try to do. trying adding some subtle tape saturation. Depending on the era of the tune that could be a big part of it. Also stop and look at the samples themselves you are using. If you're trying to add you own grooves or a 70's funk tune then obviously you would want to try and add more acoustic sounding samples and less synthetic, and the opposite for the 80's obviously as the 808 and 909 were king during that are. And it might come down to your mix down as well, and some subtle multiband compression should help shape it and glue it all together in the end. |

My parents always taught me to stay the hell out of peoples business when you don't know whats going on. You are notorious for it, NOTORIOUS. Having the time/will to parse this board doesnt make anything but lame. Sorry to "hijack" the thread but this f k ing guy.. When I insert percussion round the edges on the drums with something like EQ16 etc make sure none of the frequencies clash then compress/master the whole new render together. I know its not the proper way but its quick if your turning out remix's. |
| Johnsie Kingrea 18.09.2011 | Ya i'm using Maschine and i've been running through samples from Maschines library and some from loopmasters. |
| Leeanna Ayla 18.09.2011 | Are you building the loops yourself? Maybe try buying some pre-made drum loops on loopmaster or some of the other sites that sell them |
| Johnsie Kingrea 18.09.2011 | Hey photojojo, it's not a timing or warping issue. I know that has to be done. I'm looking to make my drums sound like more a natural fit with the old track. Right now if you were to listen to something I put together your ears could tell that they just aren't glued together, they sound separate from one another. A few people I have talked to have mentioned trying compression on the final work. |
| Leeanna Ayla 17.09.2011 | You need to warp or time stretch the track. http://www.djranking s.com/2011/02/1...-ableton-pt-1/ |
