Tracking drums over a network

Marcus Bell · Jul 21, 2026 · 5 min read

Recording a drummer in another city used to mean flights. Now it's a good interface and a patient drummer.

Precision matters

Use a hardwired connection, not wifi, and close every other tab. Latency loves a quiet network.

Monitor low

Send the drummer a click and their own kit back, low-latency. Everyone else can hear the full mix.
