How to Use Beat Detective

this video should help you learn how to use beat detective (in pro tools) to fix minor rythm problems in your recordings... although make sure the take is descent or beat detective may just make you sound worse.
(also note this example is on bass guitar, but this program works best with drums)

I have a question maybe someone can help :D

If you want to mix live drums with programmed midi, do you think it's best to record the drums first then add the midi or the other way around- i.e play along to the programmed midi? Thanks...

@Ashsdrumming I would prefer playing with drums along with the MIDI, but a big part of that decision is just personal preference of the drummer and engineer.

how do you make the purple line to separate all the traks??/cause when a select my drums as a group it only alines the first track

[sethisrad]

I don't know why it's doing that for you, if you are selecting all the tracks at the same time it should work, wish i could help =/

Lots of prior knowledge taken for granted here. I think this video is only useful if you know how to do it already and know what he is talking about. When I've learned how to use BD no doubt it will make sense.

Nevertheless it has encouraged me to dig deeper into BD and study other videos here on Youtube.

@SansonNavajas Oh yup, thats what I have (the music production toolkit,) so there's your problem @abelinpilin

@johnthesoundman

Or the music production toolkit. It unlocks more tracks, gives you multitrack beat detective and drum replacement and a bunch of plugs, notably a convolution reverb.

@abelinpilin only pro tools hd can beat detective more then one track at the same time

[sethisrad]

yeah, it's a great tool!
