Garkis Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hey all, So here's my issue. I've got 6 song that I've recorded MIDI drums on, the timing of the drums are a bit off in some places and a lot of in others. Firstly, what would be the best way to get these tracks in time with the rest of the audio? Secondly, is there a better way of recording Midi drums? Any help would be great.

weeddigger Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 How are you recording MIDI drums now? Caps lock keyboard? Drawing in Piano roll? MIDI controller? Hyper Editor? I use to do my drums strictly thru the Ultrabeat step sequencer, and I got into editing those sequences with the piano roll, but... Yeah... The Hyper Editor is the way to go. I just realized how amazing this thing is. Would be awesome if the UB step sequencer could operate like the Hyper Editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garkis Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks for responding. Yeh I'm using a controller but it hard to keep in time as I'm used to using a proper kit. What do you do with Hyper Editor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeddigger Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The Hyper Editor is a step sequencer/midi editor. For me, It's easy to use. It allows me to cycle the region, while penciling notes in and out. Let's me take my time on working on a beat. After I have something down, I can move particular notes forward or back using a delay option. You can change the width of the notes hit. The grid can be changed per note/track. Makes it easy for snare rolls. Then you don't even have to use it for drums, you can use it for a whole bunch of other stuff, I just haven't really gotten that deep yet.

Garkis Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Cool. So I just need to work out how to get the existing drum track into the Hyper Editor? Maybe it would be best to redo the drums again? Not sure what to do as I'm on a bit of a tight time line!. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykirk Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 It might just a be a quantize deal. Double click on your midi bar which has the drum info in and quantize. Then if there still is a problem, go through a check that your notes are lining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garkis Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yeh I done that and it's then out of time with the rest of the song, or some parts are in time and others are not. Do all the notes have to be the same length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykirk Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 No, it depends on how long you want them. Sorry i cant be more help mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeddigger Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I recommend still looking up the Hyper Editor in the manual, and messing around with it. You might find it worth your while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Try the Matrix editor too. It contains ways to move and quantize your parts. You can also create the Hyper drum set and change a few things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
