Drum Tuning with Plugins

Drums can fall in and out of tune, and sometimes we need to tune them differently depending on the tonality change from song to song. Torque is a plugin from Waves that achieves this easily. Jeff walks us through how to use it, and some things to watch out for.

Key Points:
  • The focus dial allows us to dial in what specific range of frequencies we’d like to tune.
  • The “Torque” knob allows us to change the amount of tuning we are applying.
  • It is easy to take it “too far” with this plugin. Finding those limits before you use the plugin live is a good idea!
