Episode Description

Do your programmed metal drums sound fake and robotic?
The #1 reason is static MIDI velocity and over-quantization.

In this video, I break down the exact drum programming mistake that causes the “machine gun” effect and show you three simple fixes to make programmed drums sound human, dynamic, and record-ready.

This applies to metal, metalcore, death metal, and modern heavy production, whether you’re using programmed drums or editing MIDI.

If you’re a guitarist or producer who hates programming drums, I also offer full mixing and production services, link below.
