What to Look for in Your DAW Before You Touch a Single Plugin

Before you reach for an EQ or compressor there are three things on your screen that can tell you a lot about what's actually going on with your recording, if you know what you're looking at. This is the fifth video in The Drum Recording Primer, a free course built specifically for people who are just getting into recording drums. This lesson moves from your ears to your eyes and covers what healthy levels look like on screen, how to spot clipping before it becomes a problem, and what a properly recorded drum track should look like in your DAW before any processing is applied. No Logic Pro required. No specific gear required. Everything in this course applies whether you're using Reaper, Pro Tools, or anything else. New videos drop every day. 🎓 Want to go deeper?
