Is this something that is commonplace in pop/rock production these days? I like working with programmed drums while writing, but the end result is leaves a bit to be desired 
Of course we want real drums for the groove... does it destroy the groove of real drums to have them recorded while referencing an existing track?
What about the other tracks in the song... bass, guitar, vocals... would they have to be re-tracked to fit back in the pocket with the new drums?
Thanks a lot for your thoughts. |
why not just have the drummer learn the programmed track and have him play it?
