How would I process this take in a studio?
https://soundcloud.com/jimmy-rage/how-should-i-process-these-drums-quantisation-velocity-etc
I'm specifically looking for advice in terms of things like quantisation or any other processing I should be doing in terms of timing, velocities and the feel of the track. I'm not too worried about the sound since it was recorded using an e-kit and I can change the kit completely in Superior Drummer 3.
I took the advice of some of the guys here and have been recording multiple takes in my studio for songs that I aim to put on a demo album.
But I am no Derek Roddy, and while I haven't tried playing guitar over the track to see how everything lines ups, there are definitely some sore spots I noted.
I would like to keep things sounding as organic as this though: no hard quantisation or excessive editing. I am particularly open to the idea of recording additional takes and comping things together.
It should be noted that I played to a click, but I played ahead of the click, which was at 210bpm. Are there any problems I should anticipate on account of not being locked into the grid like a pro would be? I think I could definitely lay down guitars over this take, but I wouldn't want to gloss over the errors... It's important that I fix them before I get down to tracking guitars.
Any help would be appreciated.
