The Terrible Midi Drum Mistake People Make (and how to fix it!)

Because we can create with great tools like midi drums, this is the most exciting time in history to be a musician. ​

We no longer need to book insanely expensive studio time or collect millions of dollars worth of gear to produce top-notch results for our music. ​

We can do it all OURSELVES within our basements, garages and bedrooms.​

Midi drum and amp sim software is amazing because it provides us with the freedom to create at our own leisure, anywhere and anytime we want, and without needing to rely on other (often unreliable) musicians. ​

Now, this is all fine in dandy in theory…but if you’ve been messing with these tools for any length of time, you’re probably well aware by now that they don’t always produce the same results heard on your favorite records. ​

Often, not even close. ​Have you ever noticed that you can usually spot midi drums in a home recording a million miles away due to them sounding so damn fake?​

​We all know that many pro producers (more than people realize) use midi drums in their final productions…yet they somehow sound indistinguishable from live drums. ​

How are they doing this??? ​​

In this tutorial, I share my favorite technique for making midi drums 10x more realistic-sounding with the simple click of a button.

​It doesn’t matter what DAW or midi drum software you’re using… ​​

THIS WILL WORK.

Don’t make the same mistakes most home studios make with working with their midi drum and amp sim plugins..
