drum tracks online - how it works..
Just send me e-mail with your song enclosed or I can download it from your website or server. It doesn't matter in which audio format, but obviously mp3 will be a smaller file than eg. wave file. Important: song should be played with metronome, and I need to know it's tempo in BPM. As I'll get Your song, then I can start working with drum part. I'd like also to receive from You some advices of that how should play drums in Your song - how You 'd like so that drums play. It's very important so that from scratch we understand well each other :-)
next..
When I already write down a "first sketch", then I send to You pre-mixed audio track with drum part preview. I send You mp3 file, or send You link to this file - depends on how we'll agree. Then You can check whether You accept this and whether You'd like to improve or change something. As the work with a drums is complete, then I start to prepare final audio tracks for You.
about audio tracks..
Basically I'm working on two sequencers: Cubase SX-2 and ProTools LE 6.4 on PC platform. You receive from me drum tracks such as from the recording session of real drums in real studio, including microphone bleeding-if you like. Each component of the drumset is on individual track. Snare drum is on two tracks: top microphone and bottom microphone. Cymbals sounds can be enclosed in overhead stereo track or on separate stereo tracks. There is room ambience stereo track with whole drumset as well. Additionally you will receive from me track with stereo-mix. Every drum tracks are completely unprocessed (except stereo-mix), so what sound You will obtain depends just on You. Try multitrack demo mp3 >>
formats..
You can choose from three types (formats) of drum track-packs:
- Set of audio tracks (*.wave or *.aif) which start at the same point, so this enables trouble-free importing those tracks to any multitrack audio sequencer or session;
- Cubase SX2 project - PC (*.cpr file + audio tracks as well)
- ProTools session - Mac/PC compatible(*.pts file + audio tracks as well).
I permanently cooperate with producers working on MAC platform as well, and there are no problems with compatibility of my drum sessions. I'm workin' in 24 or (if You wish) 16 bit resolution. Sessions are packed to *.zip, *.rar or *.sitx(for Mac users also) archives. The size of packed session averages 150~300 MB. Unpacked averages adequately more - 400~800 MB (4 minutes-long composition). I recommend usage of any downloadmanager for receiving.
Session delivery.. rates
When business are done You get from me link to your drum-tracks pack and just download it :-). If you wish - I can send drum tracks on CD's to You as well. That's it :)
