Producing Drums like Pendulum or Veranova - Production Bytes Episode 5

[RealBadCompany]

Great tutorial, thanks!! One of the best and most detailed I've seen to date...

[Amoney374]

Thanks now I need help on melodies

[ProductionBytes]

@Amoney374 Music Theory is a subject which you need to understand properly to do well.

It's something i've been considering doing a tutorial on, but i'm completely self taught so i don't want to spread mis-information by accident.

'Acepincter' (another youtube tutorials maker) has a lot of tutorials on it though so i suggest giving him a look in.

@ProductionBytes

I constantly hear about proper gain structure, I notice your kick is hitting pretty high in the master, is the db meter different in fl studio (I use it)? I always make sure my kick is hitting at most -10 db to leave more room for sub, midfreq and everything else but it still feels lifeless especially when I have the volume lower, but yeah, just wondering if its a little different in fl studio and does leaving -6 db headroom for master engineering essential in the specific DAW?

[SourRevenge]

This should have at least 100,00 views-excellent tutorial! :]

[fknclarky]

Is this the guy from Peep Show?

[PJSMusic1]

Just shows that when used properly FL studio can sound awesome.

[NSSkyline]

you should really use ableton for tutorials

[MrJETCITY]

Excellent. Very helpful. Thank you.

[TwistedLogicSyndrome]

Very Nice bro, can u message me the drum samples that you used?

[blackoctopussound]

great tutorial!

[ChrisRimbyLive]

Really, really good. This is the type of tutorial I've been searching for. Subscribed!

[whenuaboynton]

Fantastic tutorial, friend. Very clear and well presented! You got another subscription :)

[N3Z3Official]

I am searching for some more snare and kick samples and wonder... do you have some of them that are for free?

[ProductionBytes]

@N3Z3Official not free, but search around and you'll start to build up a lil library of really good ones, the danny byrd dnb packs and vengences minimal house kits are a good place to start, but not free.

[N3Z3Official]

@ProductionBytes got some real nice already and free some too, so thought you got some.

[N3Z3Official]

For that ring if you like sound but don't like it ringing too long you can use trick with FL peak controller

[neonlightfiasko]

this is one of the best drum processing tutorials i've seen so far, hands down. and i have seen them all (at least it feels like it). close to perfection. it is so good that i dont want others to find it. crazy.

[ProductionBytes]

@neonlightfiasko It's comments like this that will me to carry on making these! thank-you!

[HenryDewarMusic]

Also, would you recommend EZdrummer?

[ProductionBytes]

@HenryDewarMusic Yes definitely, if you just want to get realistic sounding drums,

with no more controls than you would get when recording a normal drumkit, it is ideal.

and it has multi-outputs too (so you can send the kick & snare mic's to different mixer tracks from the rest of the kit for instance).

[HenryDewarMusic]

Can i ask where you get your drum samples from?

[ProductionBytes]

@HenryDewarMusic

my samples are from all over the place generally, Electro house packs are good for Kicks i find,

also Vengeance minimal house is.

snares are harder to find, DnB packs are fine but the drums are normally over processed.

so i collected a lot of real snare samples and EZDrummer samples to layer and make my snares

i went through 20 packs a few months back, and came out with 15 kicks and 30 snares worth keeping i think.

it is a lot of work.

[johnz3r]

Keep making these please

[ProductionBytes]

@johnz3r The reaction to this has been overwhelmingly positive.

so i will definitely be making more!

[whenuaboynton]
