Using the "Follow" option is great for making sure it is matching the groove off your other instruments. I like matching the bass and drums together so it sits in the pocket.
5:11 I love how the Half Time drum part instantly worked! I call that a Miracle. Thank you for the video. Thank you for the drum 🥁 part 😉. #godvious #miracles
Do you have videos on voice to midi? Always have bass lines in my head, I wanna lay down with vocals and turn those vocals into midi notes, then scroll through the best bass that fits.
You know what would be cool? A video on how to take a session drummer region and swap out the drums with DMD. How to load the DMD with samples to replace “garage” and “Brooklyn” etc.
@@dreamofswapn I wish it were that easy. I’m taking about taking one shots or a sample and using DMD to replace the snare, kick etc. maybe I’m doing it incorrectly
at 2:12 you confuse creating a loop with using the cycle command. right?. also, at 9:15, "mine shows up automatically" - how did you get your preferences/settings whatever to do that? I want my note names to always be turned on, too -- ty
Only thing I don't really care for about the new Session Drummers is the lack of control over the high-hats and cymbals. Would really rather have more pattern control, same as they did for the kick and snare.
The thing with the drummer in Logic is that you would never want all the elements-kick, hats, snares, claps, etc.-on a single channel, as shown in the presets. This is because you’ll want to make sound changes to each of these elements individually. Instead, once you’re happy with a pattern, duplicate the instrument as many times as needed. That way, you can assign the kick to one channel, the hats to another, and so on. This approach is essential because you’ll want to EQ the kick to shape its tone with your bass, stereo spread the snare or claps, or apply micro-phase adjustments to the hats. If you leave everything on one channel, any processing you apply will affect all the elements together, which isn’t ideal.
@@bearcub4kids Thats a good shout, you can certainly do that then it assigns every element with the kit to its own sub channel that you can then process individually , just bare in mind that and send or returns effect all.
@@paulhelsby You can route the signal however you want. You can send the multi outputs to n aux buss. You can send just the kick to an aux bus. It's not limited as you are suggesting at all.
@ no, you’re quite right. However the sub stack folder comes some what null and void really it’s clear, easier to operate by simply having each element on its own separate channel. I get it if your trying to replicate a symphonic orchestra, but not the pop track where you want to have drums on
@@paulhelsby I'm not sure you are understanding. You can have each track on it's own channel and effect it separate from the other drum sounds. I do it every day.
I keep trying to mess with the velocity on my hi hats & the hi hats sound exactly the same unfortunately. It’s as if the velocity is broken or something is there any way I can fix this?
I'm using the Drum Kit/SoCAl+ which I can customize, with different snare and kick etc, but I cannot make that kit have individual tracks, like a top and bottom snare, overheads and room tracks, etc. I can only export the kit as one stereo track. is there a way to each individual tracks to export each instrument of the kit?
Your follow comment, you changed the pattern, not what was followed. If you clicked on the lower track option, then you can pick what track the drums will follow, logic will reanalyze the timing.
The new Logic drummer is no where near as flexible as the old version. They screwed it up, big time. You had so much more control with the XY pad than you now have with the regenerate option. It’s pretty much a spin of the wheel, and let’s see what we come up with. Not sure what they were thinking.
Nice video but Logic Pro’s drummers are some of the worst drums out there. As a drummer of 40 years I can say the way the drums are modelled is really lame. The drum fills sound like they come from teaching books of the 1960s. Nobody does fills or adds grace notes like that, not today anyway. If you want your drums to sound good then choose another plug-in or add effects to the drums in loops which sound and play 10x better. Sorry to be so negative. I will say they are good for building songs and practicing along with. Or convert the session drummer to midi and play around with the beat placement or swap out sounds. But don’t use them in a final song as they are.

Love how relaxed and at ease you sound here. Thank you for a very helpful video
I love the way you used the sample as a base to add drum parts to! I never thought of that approach. 😇
Thanks! I love your videos. The Logic Session Drummer is an amazing tool.
Wow! You've fired up my inspiration! Thanks!
Cool stuff! I knew about some of this and learned a bunch more.
Thank you for being awesome!!!

Book is a terrific reference to have on hand, even for seasoned Logic users! $30 usd is a steal, y’all. Js

Change session player to midi track..then u can replace all drum kits with custom ones…
DMD is almost useless as it uses so much CPU. Even on my M2 machine, more than one instance of it nearly bricks any project I put it in.

Hey Seids! Can I have a reference drum track (70s funk for example) and get the "midi groove" out of it to use with any virtual drum software? Thanks!

You can move into midi and edit.

Why not use the multichannel kits the ones with the "+" next to them?

What software do you use to record the screen?
The sure Mic you are speaking into has no XLR attached??? Are you using an overhead mic out of frame or something?
Oh wait, I think I see the usb NM 😂
Whats your name on apple music?

Use the muli-output drum kit.

I had no idea arrangement markers affected drummer tracks.
Maybe logic remote, if you didn’t do already
The previous versions were better imo, now whatever I do and listen to from it, it just doesn’t get groove right
