DIY Recording Guys

We use them all the time in our productions and they sound great but how do they hold up when compared to a live drummer?

And, even if the live drummer is better, are the workflow hassles of setting up a kit and mics, having the drummer learn the part, being nice to the drummer, and then editing the drums on the back end worth it?

• Why virtual instrument drums offer unparalleled flexibility
• Why a real drummer can change the energy of your production (for better or worse)
• A few ways to get programmed drums to sound a little more real
• Some challenges, tips and tricks associated with editing live drums
• Tips for minimizing mic bleed when recording a kit
• Tips for making a live kit sound even larger life
