ABSTRACT

So, our drums are finished and we’re ready to move on to our percussion tracks. The typical method for doing percussion overdubs to is save an alternate session and send it off on a hard drive to a professional percussionist, who lays down some amazing and creative tracks. As a result, our first step was to find those sessions and import the percussion tracks into our working edit. This is another spot where you won’t need to follow along in your session (until page 135), but take a look with me into the main project folder, under the subfolder ‘Old Sessions’ for an idea of just how many alternative session files we can generate over the course of a typical song project.
