I'll side with beans - good timing will only come with practice - every beginner musician is warned to listen to themselves very critically.

Singers find they actually can't carry the melody they hear in their head, guitarists realise they are way out of tune ("funny, it felt really good when I played"), and drummers are way off beat ("hey d*ckhead, stop dragging").

many a young band has broken up onstage mid-gig due to these basic principles. All involving irreparable abuse, outright hostility and maybe even violence. And yes, it's hilarious when it's not you

we have to accept we aren't the performers we sometimes see in the bathroom mirror :)

I believe there are devices that drummers can use to test their accuracy - I thought I had seen a value of 60% accuracy floated in a drum mag as very good(?) - meaning that took a LOT of effort to achieve . But I'll let some real drummers from here run with that or correct me.

I'd tend to say it's my timing that's off and accept it - the 'air swing method' can usually correct my weaknesses.. or practice, practice, practice.

IF it is the 404 - (which would surprise me) then you have to accept it, and figure some way to match your "perfect" timing to its "imperfect" timing.

good post bishojo....ur point is something thats seldom discussed as producers rather then *traditional* musicians. When i used to learn drums, it was quite suprising how much i thought i was on time when in acutal fact, its sloppier once played back. I remember a method of accuracy practice i used...my teacher had an electronic drum pad that counted your strokes. you would play 16ths to a metranome for 2 bars then switch the moetronome of for another 8, and you had to rely on your natural rytham to stay ontime. at the end of the exercise, the closer u were to 128 strokes (16x8), the more accurate ur rytham was (its way harder then it sounds!). its all relevant wether hiting a snare or hitting a pad!

nice post. very informative. I have yet to come across a machine or software that has "off" quantize. In four bars, there are only 4 places to put a sample at 16 quantize... If there are only these 4 places ever, I don't see how a machine can mess that up. It is the same place EVERY time. Hope that makes sense. It does take a lot of practice.

the asr has a method of qunitize called delta . i dont reeally remember how it works , i think it calculates your timing for you first couple hits , then creates a unique quanitization to keep it strict but not robotic, kind of like a real drummer. the asr is so hard core tho, you dont even need qtz really cause you bang the pads so hard its like really drummin

HEY BEANZ. YOU'VE SUMMED SHIT PERFECTLY.

THAT'S 100% IT.

THE OVERTHINKING... MAAAAN. THAT KILLS ME. YESTERDAY I GOT HOME COMPLETLY STONNY AND AFRAID OF DOING SHIT ON THE SP 'COS I'D PROBABLY RUIN PREVIOUS SHIT. SO, WITHOUT TAKING IT TOO SERIOUS I STARTED THUMPIN THE SP, AND BEFORE I KNEW I HAD FINISHED THE BASS THINGY I WAS TRYING TOO HARD TO DO ALL WEEK.

SINCE I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT DOING ANYTHING SERIOUS THE SHIT CAME UP MAD EASY... BECAUSE I WASN'T OVERTHINKING IT. BEING COMPLETLY WASTED WAS A SHORTCUT TO REALISE THAT...

THANKS.

I realised its because some times samples might hav a small silence before the hit...even a few fractions of a second...so they land slightly after everything else. Make sure everythin pops as soon as u slam the pad ;)


It's a good idea to vary a bit on the amounts of silence before the sounds kick in. Basically a too tightly chopped sequence of samples can sound very computerized. It sounds a lot more natural when you, as Warren Harris says, let things breath a bit. 8)
