Recording drums in my home studio - journal thread
It's my first post on the forum so - Hello!
I'm starting this thread to show my journey with learning how to record and mix drums in my home studio (and some bit of music productions too), so any advice and tips are more than welcome!

How To Make Midi Drums Sound Real
I've been challenged in the last 19 months to create music VERY fast for video projects. I created a video showing the process I've been using to get better drums sounds using stock logic drum tones. I prefer recording drums with a real drummer however this has been a fantastic challenge in its own right.
P.S. If it is annoying for me to post videos in the forum I have no problem removing them:) These are the things in music that are exciting for me so I thought I would share it.

Recording drums to sound big in a small room for hard rock/metal projects
Lonely Road: featuring real drums (1st for me)
Mix-wise, what I imagined as I created this was the kind of mix you'd hear if a band had setup in a studio for a life performance. That's what was in my head as I mixed this - a very visual mix.
