8 Tips to Create Great Sounding MIDI Drums

Published: Mon, 02/28/22

If you produce your own songs, you probably do most of the work in your home studio.

All you need is a computer, a 2-channel interface, a microphone, and headphones and you’re ready to lay down any instrument.

Almost any that is... live drums are the big exception. Drums can annoy your neighbors pretty fast and generally require more microphones and a bigger interface to record.

MIDI drums are a solution, but for many musicians, they just don’t quite sound like the real thing.

With the following 8 techniques, you can make your MIDI drums sound just as tight and punchy as a real drum kit.
