How To: Tune Your Drums (Part 1)

[BTRCRAFT]

E & F♯ are in the key of G Major

[homeboystevea]

Is there a way to do this with recorded live snare drum /

[imamusicmogul]

@homeboystevea You can just place the tuner plug-in on the track and press play.. It should give you a note reading... You can try the tuner on any instrument, as long as it isn't chords...

[Flipjunkie1]

You can add sampled drums into ultrabeat as well .Go to drum kits then select drag and drop samples then drag your samples into ultra beat and then i'm assuming you can tune them which i haven't tried yet but i'm going too . As long as they are wav. files i believe it should work .

thanks as always for the tips... this is something i never thought of doing in the past, other than with an 808 type of bassline

[iaminbetweendays]

Thanks...didn't know you could tune drums like that.

Hey, being nit picky here but when you started retuning the kick a second time you went E E# F F# G. It should have actually gone E F F# G, there is no note in between E and F which is why your tuner registered G#. Not sure why Ultrabeat would do that but anyway. Love the videos btw, really useful information.

@DanielJJBGriffin Exactly what I was gonna say but anyway thanks music mogul. good info man

[videosongman]

Awesome tip: I am definitely guilty of overlooking this aspect for drums, so great reminder. Too me it will makes a huge difference when you start adding other tracks to create a "Cohesive Mix."

Thanks again! =)

should put a limiter on the master ur clipping!

[Vodje01]

@Imakeilltrax in the plus isnt clipping.. everybody always wants to use a limiter but it can take something away from your track

[Imakeilltrax]

@Vodje01 it digitally distorts your track,if u want it loud use a limiter get it loud with out distortion!
