Guitars : No 1 trick (it been mentioned many times) - record two takes, one panned hard left, other hard right.ĭrums : Whatever Addictive Drums does - it has a internal panned setup for cymbals, toms, etc. Vocals : Lead vox centre, backing - it depends. I do the simplest of staging, pretty much as ScottyDogg has it : And it let the drummer write 'impossible' parts - sigh - in fairness, he wrote & programmed great midi drums. Would have likely quadrupled the cost/time and I don't think we would have finished the album without trying to murder each other. When I was djenting away, and we tracked our album, - we-very briefly- considered tracking live drums. Precisely what my post above was alluding to.

What drum vst are you using? You'd need to check out how to set up the routing between that and the DAW you're using - I use GetGood Drums (Kontakt instrument) and Studio One so figured out how to do that routing.Īh. Thereafter, I'll bring the stems into my mix template (working with WAVs is a lot less system intensive than with a virtual instrument) plus, I like to commit before mixing - if I leave it as a virtual instrument with settings that can be changed, I'd never end up committing to anything and would never get anywhere. So I'll edit the one midi track and then once the songwriting is done and I'm ready to mix, I'll export stems for the channels - I end up with mono and stereo tracks (depending on what needs to be mono/stereo). Thereafter, this instrument track is multi-outed to a number of channels (Kick, Kick Sub, Snare Top, Snare Bot, Tom 1 2 3, Hats, Ride, overheads, rooms). Within Studio One, this is an Instrument Track. Also, harmonies and accent tracks can go down the centre or with doubles you can pan them).ĭomhatch Yo dude - so in my songwriting template, I have ONE drum midi track. Then for vocals, you want a lead track down the centre and thereafter the sky is the limit really - personally, I like having a Left double and a right double to have nice wide vocals (panning depends on the mix - if a dense mix I'd pan like 80% Left/Right to leave space for the guitars etc.

If the former, be sure to pan the multitracks when mixing, if the latter, see if you can set the panning in the software before exporting a stereo drum image (though personally I'd recommend a track per piece) When programming drums, you would either be generating a track per component or the software will be spitting out a stereo drum track.
Basically, picture yourself behind a drum kit with the snare and kick right in front of you while looking ahead - where do you picture each drum piece in relation to centre? Overheads: You should either have a left track and a right track or a stereo track with panning in place - either is acceptable but in the case of a left and a right track, be sure to pan them (just as a side note, when mixing other people's recordings, this is usually how you'd work out whether they mic'ed for audience or drummer perspective)įor the drums, these are approximates as I would say there's no absolute - whatever sounds best is right and a mix might call for specific adjusted values for things to fit. for drummers perspective:įloor Tom 1: 30-45 Right (I'd say 30 if you have a second floor tom otherwise 45) You generally get audience perspective or drummer perspective - I personally prefer drummer perspective but there's arguments each way. Leads: Solo's you'd want Centre, harmonies I would have a track panned hard left and a double panned hard right (again, two takes for width) and on other leads it's up to you if you want some leads centred or some doubled and hard panned)ĭrums: These are a real doozy. For meaty parts (you'll hear it at times in Metal - I know Machinehead does it often and sometimes bands like Periphery, you can quad track parts - here you'd have two on the left and two on the right of each rhythm part - this adds some meat but affects clarity a bit) Rhythm Guitars: Ideally you want one track panned hard left and one panned hard right for all rhythm parts (you need two different takes, can't copy/paste, as it's the slight differences in timing and how you hit the notes that give you a nice stereo image - copy pasting will result in tracks sounding mono i.e. Ok sweet so from a high level, there's some key things to bear in mind:īass Guitar: Centre (depending on genre it can be nice to have gritty overdrive tone and DI tone tracks)
