DRUM SOUNDS:
INSTRUCTIONS-
Burn these audio tracks onto a CD or import them to your iPod. Route your audio player into 2 channels on your console. Some tracks are mono, others use both the left and right channels.
Use the EQ on your channel strip to shape the sound. Insert compressors or gates and learn how to use those pieces of gear. Add some FX or delay to the audio and play with the settings to hear what each parameter changes.
TO SAVE THE FILES: right-click (ctrl-click on a mac) and choose “Save Link As.” If you click on the link and it plays on a blank page, just go to File -> Save.
Enjoy!
