Re: [Logic_Cafe] How do you make Apple midi drum loops sound more human?

2010-03-15 by Steve Currington

One trick is to harmoinze the tracks and then once done add just a couple of simple  real instruments that you record yourself over it..  
They can be simple instruments like a triangle or tambourine or shaker or something but adding a real human sound to the midi based ones really brings the music to life.
Almost anyone can ring a triangle on a beat or shake a tambourine or better still simply hit a cymbal on a basic pattern.  You just have to use the original midi track as your "click" track ti play along with
