I've taken one semester of music recording (Basic, such as signal flow, consoles and such) but since I can't afford analog equipment I'm messing with
protools. So basically whats going on is I have Pro Tools 8, and the free demo of flstudio. The computer I'm using this on is an acer pc with a 1.8gb core 2
duo processor, 3 gb of ram, windows vista, and a terabyte of external along with about 30gb internal HD. The problem I'm running into is that as I'm trying
to get drum tracks programmed (I don't have a drummer available to work with so I'm doing it myself) I start an aux track and use fl studio Rewire in an
insert, I have my recorded bass and guitar tracks on protools, but when I try to program the drums in FL Studio to bring into PT I experience latency issues
where I get a popup telling me to lower the values in the playback engine, plus I can't seem to keep the drums in real time, and don't know how to bus them
to a different track. I'm fairly new at PT and recording, and all I'm trying to do is get drums easily programmable into PT so I can record them to sync with
my guitar tracks. My friend has recommended me buying drumkit from hell, or some other drumming plugin. I guess I just want to know a cost efficient way to
do this easily. If there's anything you can do to help (or any additional info you may need) please let me know.
Thank you,
Christopher.
Answer Christopher,
The easiest and most efficient route would probably be an Akai MPC, any version. It's a standard among hip-hop producers. You can purchase tons of drum sounds from tons of famous drummers and use them at will. Synching drum tracks is tricky business though. Normally, that's where I would begin.
