Curious about recording your own drums in Logic Pro but aren't sure where to start? This is it! In this recording drums video course, Logic Pro wiz Stephen O'Connell will walk you through the process start to finish - from planning your session and selecting your mics all the way through editing, gating, processing, and more! Recording drums well is no small task, but this drum recording video course breaks down the topic into easy-to-understand concepts and techniques that are guaranteed to get great results. By the end of this Logic course, you'll be ready to start tracking your own drums on your very next production!

Stephen begins with a course overview, briefly discussing everything that's going to be covered in the course so you'll know what's in store. Then it's on to drum recording methods, where you'll learn about various microphone techniques commonly used to record drums and the minimum amount of equipment you'll need in order to do so. Stephen also shows you how to prepare for a drum recording session, including setting up the various tracks, using group controls, etc.

Next, you'll explore the subject of editing, including comping takes (selecting the best parts from each take), quantizing (moving mistimed hits closer to the beat), and taking advantage of Logic Pro's tools for faster workflow. Once the rhythm's all tidied up, Stephen turns his attention to phase, and you'll discover two quick methods for correcting any issues that may arise.

Throughout the rest of the course, you'll learn about the rest of the process, including using track stacks and VCAs for project management (for staying efficient and organized), gating the drums (to remove bleed and other noises), EQ/compression/saturation (for the three Cs: correction, compression, and color), drum triggering (using Logic Pro's built-in tool for ease), parallel compression and other processing (New York-style compression), creating a drum library (turning your drum recording into one-shot samples), creative use of effects (combining effects and automation for unique sounds), and more!

If you've been wary about recording your own drums at home because you've heard it's difficult, that's true; it's not easy. However, with the steps laid out in this Logic Pro drum recording video course, great-sounding drum tracks are absolutely attainable! What's better is that the skills you learn in this course (compression, EQ, etc.) can be applied when dealing with other instruments, too!
