Soundcheck - Getting Great Source Tones & Preparing The Recording Session

15 Lessons

MEMBERS ONLY (LOG IN OR GET ACCESS)

Go through all the Action Steps in order. Please know that all of this applies to real drums, as well as programmed drums or added samples. If you're not using samples, think about how all of the concepts in this Action Plan apply to your real drums. After all, samples are real recordings of drums. So things like tuning, attack, sustain, ambience, drum selection, setup etc. always apply, regardless of your recording or programming approach.

About the teacher

Benedikt Hain

Benedikt Hain is an engineer, producer and mixer with a special passion for rock, alternative and heavy music. Working with lots of different artists, labels and corporate clients, he has gained experience with music of all styles, while always keeping that focus on rock and alternative sub-genres like punk, metal or hardcore.

Many people struggle to get this kind of music to sound punchy and modern, while keeping the feel, raw energy and emotional impact of the performance. It often sounds either weak and amateur, or completely fake and artificial. So Benedikt has dedicated his whole career to making professional, high-end recordings and mixes that will make bands happy for the rest of their lives and deliver all the energy, emotion and power of their songs to their listeners.
