Learn to Fly Guitar Pro
If you are reading this article you are probably investigating online drum tracks versus traditional methods of getting pro drum tracks.
It is a wise pursuit indeed to look in to getting your drum tracks online because there are advantages. Or, more accurately, one huge advantage: you can save very large amounts of money.
Online drum recording = more bang for your buck.
Your savings are firstly based on not having to pay a whole bunch of people. To get professional, custom drum tracks you normally would have to pay 1)someone for rental of the studio space/recording equipment, 2)sound engineers, 3)cartage (transportation of drum equipment to and from studio), and of course, 4) the session drummer.
And of course, when paying for studio time you don’t pay a flat fee, you pay by the hour.
That means you are paying while the drums are set up and mics set up/patched in. You are paying while the engineer and the drummer are dialing in the sounds. You are paying while breaks that are taken during tracking, and after tracking you are paying while the drums are taken down.
This can add up to some costs that are simply not within many budgets. Often an eight-song album can cost, just for drum tracks, upwards of $5000.
Online drum recording, on the other hand, is much more affordable.
You only have to pay one person for your drum tracks, the online session drummer. In most cases there is a flat, per-track fee. That means no worries about having to pay by the hour, nervously watching the dollars fly out of your pocket as the minutes tick by.
You also could save a lot of money in transportation costs. You save gas money not having to drive to and from the studio. Considering that many times studio drummers have to be flown to locales for recording, there are possible huge savings there as well. If you get your drum tracks online, you can choose any drummer you dig without worry about location. This widens your choices considerably beyond the session drummers in your area.
You have choices regarding getting drum tracks over the internet. There are numerous sites for this, but you must choose wisely. Look for more of my articles on the subject of online drum recording for helpful guidance in finding the right online studio drummer for your project.
