Mixing midi drums ain’t the same as mixing real drums.
As much as I love midi drums (half of the projects I’m hired to mix feature midi drums), you can almost never mix them like you would REAL drums.
This is an area where so many home studio owners go wrong.
Spikey, weird, over-compressed, plasticky-sounding drum tracks all because of this common mixing mistake.
The problem is that drum software companies do their best to make these tools sound killer straight out of the box.
Because of this, the usual EQ and compression techniques that pro mixers teach in tutorials will often yield disastrous results when applied to your midi drums.
So the question is…how should you be mixing your midi drums for the best results? What’s the difference between midi drum mixing and live drum mixing?
Drums are drums, right? NOPE. Not even close.
In this tutorial, I reveal my dead-simple approach to mixing midi drums. I even do a side-by-side comparison of the exact same song mixed with both real drums AND midi drums so that you can see and hear the difference.
Don’t make the same mistakes most home studios make with working with their midi drum and amp sim plugins..
