SONAR has evolved into a comprehensive drum production tool for today's producers and engineers.

In this video tutorial, Cakewalk's Dan Gonzalez shows you how to record, edit, and mix drum tracks that can truly power your projects.

This Advanced Workshop series covers all aspects of drum production: miking the drum kit, organizing your tracks during pre-production, editing and enhancing, creating drum samples, reinforcing drum hits, and mixing the entire session for the optimal listening experience.

Special thanks to the band Undersea who recorded the drum tracks for this video at Mortal Music in Charlestown MA.


Now that Drum Replacer is done analyzing the clip, we can use the filter to find which hits we're going to replace. We'll mute the first kick track, and play it from the beginning.

Then, we'll drop the threshold so that all the hits come through and will be replaced. It sounds right, but we want to use our own sample. To do that, simply find your samples in the media browser, and click and drag it right into the interface. It will replace with that sample.

To increase volume, we'll bump up the gain just enough. To increase thickness, using a Pul-tec Style EQ, we'll add 60Hz to the entire signal.
