LSD LOL

[aceoft]

To some of the commentors below: If you think ~$100 is too much for a professionally produced drum track, you haven't entered the world of professional recording yet.

I've used the loops produced by the same company for many of my songs, and if I end up producing an album that is destined for a wider audience, I'll definitely be making the investment in LSD. $1300 for a *consistent*, expert-engineered, full album's worth of drums?

Price it at a studio (and a tight drummer) and see.

Then you have the issue of recording quality, that is, production chops, not just miking a guitar or vocals but, DRUMS baby.

That's a lot harder than you think.

Unlike most hobbyists, I have the production chops because I've done it for a living forever, but I seriously doubt that average Joes like yourself are anywhere near up to the task of getting professional broadcast quality recordings of live drum kits like I was hearing on the LSD demo video.

Not to slam you here man, but seriously!

Listen bro, I live in Dallas, Texas and have been a professional 'one man band' composer for almost 20 years now.

I'm fortunate enough to have started on drums then learning guitars, vocals and keys.

Let me tell ya brother, there are PLENTY of "pro drummers" in this town BUT, getting one that is sharp as a tack and that will actually play what you want (or what the song needs) let alone SHOW UP is a monumental task!

Hey MetalHeart8787,

? exactly which awesome musician town is it that you live in where you can just call up a professional level drummer friend to knock out perfect recordings of real drum tracks whenever you need them ?

I want to live there too!

Oh, that's right, if he/she ain't available you can always just slap one together using a drum machine or loops and it'll sound just like a real life pro drummer ;-)

Yeah, right!

[Guitarfreak2312]

lol i thought the same thing

[alexlp2k8]

Or you can make the drums on the computer using tons of programs like FLStudio, iDrum, GarageBand, Mixcraft. ETC...

No money...

[apujols2194]

pretty cool idea, but one should fine a way to do it themselves....

[tkenni1]

yes. I agree, only b/c i am a drummer. But realistically speaking, in the music industry, this will appeal to your one man shows.

[MetalHeart8787]

OR you could be smart about it.

Like get a friend who plays DRUMS!!

Join a Band. If your good enough to enter a studio all you need to do is find others who want to play the same kind of music.

Metal - Jazz or country

These are professional drum tracks recorded by a pro drummer. Here's an estimate of what it would cost in a good commercial studio...

- Studio time with engineer = $250-$450 (4 hour block of time)

- Pro drummer for 4 hours = $200-$400

- Most pro studios will charge backup or tape charges (depending on what format you use)

Your total cost would probably be at least $500 to have it done right, so $100 bucks sounds pretty good to me.
