Easiest way to get drumtrack for cover songs?

[Akkush]

Hi!

I would like to cover a few Morbid Angel songs, and it would be cool if I can play along only with the drums.

I don't have much freetime, don't know much about drums, and lazy to learn a softer the make the drumtrack... so what options left?

Are there any tricks to boost the volume of the drums in a song with a softwear, like Audacity?

Or are there any softwears that have a large online database of drumtracks of songs, so I could simply download them?

Or pay a little money for a nerd to make the tracks for me!

Thanks!

You can EQ certain bits louder but it can sound very unpleasing with a lot of EQ spikes. Drums like guitar take up a lot of space.

Backing track sites aren't very common anymore since the plugins to make your own are readily available and easy enough to use. What songs did you have in mind?

I'd definitely be interested in making those tracks for you if you're willing to pay a symbolic amount. I'm a producer and a nerd (haha) and I do drum tracks for myself and a lot of bands on a daily basis. PM me and we can talk if you're interested

my approach has been to find a good guitar pro file that has the drumtrack mapped out. Then you export the midi file of the drum track and import it into your DAW and use a drum VST of your choice to make it sound half decent.

Mainly songs from Gateways to Annihilation, (He Who sleeps, a possibly easy one) except Secured limitations and To the Victor to the spoils, + Nothing is not.

Takotakumi, you can play those Morbid Angel songs on guitar all the way through? Guitar solos, also?

I used to jam those albums a lot when I started getting into 7 strings so yeah haha I think I can do the solos but to be honest I find it hard to mimic Trey's particular voicing aside from the setup he uses

Ultimate Guitar is probably the largest database of MIDI... if you export them from the Guitar Pro archives. And you can also have the bass and everything else, but the guitar track.

Wow, I had absolutely no idea that Guitar Pro could be used to pull midi drum files. And all this time I've been trying to replicate the entire drum tracks by Midi mapping EZdrummer myself...
