![]() There’s also a 4th option which I haven’t explained in detail here. Though please point back to this page when doing so. Feel free to share or re-post this infographic. We’ll dive deeper into these steps after. The same process of recording also applies to most electronic drum pads and drum machines. I recommend using a combination of audio and MIDI as it can give you the most freedom to change and play around with your tracks later. You have a few options available to do this, though you don’t have to choose only one. One of the biggest benefits of electronic drums over acoustic kits is their ability to be quickly and easily recorded with minimal hassle. In this article, I’m going to tell you in simple terms how to record from your electronic drum set to your computer. ![]() For example, I’ve read a guide online stating that you need to buy an external amplifier in order to record your e-drums, claiming that this is what “creates the sounds,” which is completely wrong. There is a lot of junk information out there about how to do this. If I could at least reduce the latency substantially enough from the drum kit to the computer via the straight forward audio connection, I guess I could listen to the backing track on external speakers, listen to the drum kit via it’s headphone connection, and sync both tracks in Audacity once recorded.I’ve recorded electronic drums many times using different techniques for both professional productions and practice sessions. Am I going to need an external device in this loop to meld everything together? If I then complete the “loop” by also connecting the headphone out of the notebook to the Mix In connection of drum module, I get echoing and multiple sound effects, not a single clean sound.īottom line, all I want to do is open Audacity, import a backing track in MP3 format, connect the Roland TD-1KV kit to the notebook, play the drums and add in an accompanying drum track to that MP3 track, and monitor all while I am recording, in real time, with as little latency as possible. If I connect the drum module via headphone out to sound card input on notebook, open Audacity, I do get a response when striking drum pads, but the latency is unacceptable, have tried to alter the latency preferences somewhat, but to no good result. I have connected via USB through Reaper and Addictive Drums 2 to setup MIDI sounds external to Audacity for recording, however, that has opened a slew of issues not relative to this forum. Thanks for the quick response…I completely understand the MIDI/USB vs the Headphone output difference. Have recorded multiple guitar/vocal tracks with no problem via USB connected POD Line 6 HD500X, headphones connected to the POD, Audacity on desktop computer, perfectly with no lag or delay.Īpparently, others have been successful doing this, need some assistance. If I connect headphone to the output of drum module, then, of course, there is no latency, however, then I can’t hear the backing (.mp3) track loaded as track 1 in Audacity to be able to accompany it and record a drum track on track 2. ![]() Have changed some of the latency settings via edit/preferences, but never could get drum pad hits to be without delay of some kind. When connect the headphone out on the drum module to the mic input of the notebook…records the signal appropriately, however, there is so much latency, I can’t listen to the live recording session via the headphone out of the notebook. Audacity 2.1.2, Windows 8.1 notebook, Roland TK-1KV drum kit, when connect USB (MIDI) output to computer, sets up as a TK(1) device in device manager, but Audacity doesn’t recognize as an input (microphone) device, can’t record my V-Drums via USB directly to Audacity. ![]()
