Awesome stuff, thanks for posting it

OctoberRust · January 17th, 2012, 04:31 AM

Thanks! Please post again when you have done another one!

glwstck · January 17th, 2012, 04:49 AM

Thanks for the video! Helped a lot!

pifos_2 · January 17th, 2012, 05:46 AM

thanks guys, this is encouraging. i will do another one this weekend.

Lasse Lammert · January 17th, 2012, 06:20 AM

thanks

abt · January 17th, 2012, 07:19 PM

Cool vid! Thanks for sharing. Do you recommended this humanizing process before or after tracking other instruments? I usually do this last.

pifos_2 · January 17th, 2012, 07:34 PM

it depends on the vibe of the music of course. for metal/heavy rock, it shouldn't make such a big difference. for lighter stuff, before might be a good idea.

osum · January 25th, 2012, 07:40 AM

Just saw you made another video! Great stuff, thanks a lot!

Melb_shredder · January 25th, 2012, 07:54 AM

Great job dude! I want to do a similar thing for Recording DI's and Reamping for bands and peope who just don't get it :P

CharlesMonroe1989 · January 25th, 2012, 09:22 AM

Really nice tutorial

For a extended Version i would assume to tell sth about:

- How to turn a real - for example Snare - track into midi for mixing samples with the real drums
- How to edit more complex drumpatterns (like rolls or very fast Bassdrum patterns)

pifos_2 · January 26th, 2012, 05:08 AM

thanks guys!

I did a second tutorial about my way of mixing those particular drums : http://youtu.be/3lkOCl6SfC4?hd=1

Mago · January 26th, 2012, 05:26 AM

Awesome man, thanks!
Haven't had the time yet to look into midi in PT, so this is a nice starting help for me!
2nd video is also pretty nice

CharlesMonroe1989 · January 26th, 2012, 07:44 AM

Wow the second is really nice! But its hard to get a similar sound without having these plugins for 500$...

Ratel · February 2nd, 2012, 03:09 PM

great tutorials so far! it would be awesome if you do some vocal production & mixing tutorials in the future

thanks, well i am thinking about vocal production.

mixing would be cool but it's so "situation-dependent" that i dunno...
