!st, I am a newbie and i think the techs are tired of my questions so they sent me to the forums. I hope i don't wear out my welcome toooo soon with y'all because I've learned much reading the threads i've visited thus far.
I have read a previous thread on users frustrations with real drums, a frustration i have been experiencing in my own limited knowledge way. But, as a drummer by trade (and steel drum player by trying to keep up with all my band mates who go single act) one of my express purposes of getting band in the box was to be able to record my self as "the real drummer". I was not discouraged in this goal by the salespeople who sold me band in the box and as I have read more and more of the manual, and read some of forum an sews, it seems to be a feasible goal. My idea is to tweek the arrangement as much as possible, then record me playing with all drums separately miked into a mixer and send one line to Real band where the arrangement lies to a open track and sort of EQ my drums from here on separate runs of the song via the drum amplifier untill i get mix I like and get rid of the other mixes...Question...Is this valid approach? To qualify myself..I am a good drummer and know I could lay down a track better (for this here and now arrangement)then the limited couple of bars that terry Clarke is allowed(is he related to the famous drummer Kenny Clarke aka Klook, who played with Bird before Max and now of kenny Clarke Francy Boland big band fame?)
