I then do an audio insert of the drum wav file. Once I have a stereo drum wav track I will then change the tempo to match my song. I then export the drum track to a wav file in my song folder. Then I open my song file and then on a track I do another audio insert and it pastes in the stereo drum track that is at the correct tempo for my song. This file contains all the drum sounds. If you scroll to the end of the drum file you can usually find all the individual hits, snare, kick, cymbals, toms, etc. Then you can select and paste into your original drum track as needed. I have built long fills, placed hits on the ands of the count, and even special endings merging the individual hits as required. Once the song is complete I will then delete the entire drum track file. Hope this helps


Darren Green,

This is an ingenious idea. Please consider reposting in the Tips and Tricks part of the forum so the idea will be easier to find in the future.
