- Get asked about this loads, so here’s a quick talk-through of how I do it!
As always with music technology, there are many other ways of achieving this same thing. But this is a great, simple system that allows me to quickly produce videos of (in my opinion) decent quality for my channel.

Some other things I get asked about a lot which I should have said in this vid...
Yes, the "iRig Recorder" app on iPhone allows you to record video and audio simultaneously.
Yes, iRig is compatible with Android as well as desktop (but I've never used it with them).
No, the iRig doesn't come with the audio cables you need to connect your drums to it.
No, once you've recorded your cover with the backing track using the method I describe here, you can't then easily separate the drums and the music.
Straightforward, super helpful! Thank you
Thanks for the explanation!
IRig is great! My little one uses the basic one. iPod or iPhone connected to the drum module to play music. IRig connected to iPad and drum module. It took me a bit to get my head around it and I worked in radio production and studios 😂 It was the drum kit that was throwing me 😆
Great explanation !!!!👍🏼🥁
iRig is great! I've got the basic barrel type one and use it with my android phone with no additional app. No fuss, no bother. As Mike has said, get your kit volumes at the right level to start with and have fun!
i use irig 2 these are great to record youself wether for covers or just to check out your playing, i agree get your sound mix right before starting👍 what i use for the music through my td-11 module is a memory stick plugged in the top of the module with the music/songs on, works exactly as connecting to a laptop would, cool vid though mike
Makes sense. I can kinda play my first full song. Once I get it down I want to record myself for memory purposes. And there's also the fact I kinda feel like a badass being able to play a song lol
Informative clip, thanks Mike. One topic not covered in regards to the backing track, do you use an application/program to isolate the drum track out? If so what do you recommend(or anyone else if they wish) for iOS. Thanks in advance
I tend to use drumless backing tracks - czcams.com/video/P7pHj_7jz8o/video.htmlfeature=shared
Great video mate...I was doing this in the past and then for some reason I cannot get my drums to record clearly now (muffled and can barely hear the hats). It is eating me up as to why, I have replaced the interface, the guitar lead I was using and even the connection I use to connect to my android phone. Any ideas?
On the topic of vids that are not purely related to drumming, could you share some thoughts about preparing for a gig, other activities (like sports, stretching etc.) that help with drumming or should be avoided. Like doing a marathon right before a gig. And as always, love your vids! :)
Good suggestion!
spot on and straight to the point
I am using the exact same iRig pro duo I/O on my Alesis crimson 2 SE. I used the iRig recorder app (the free version)for an hour or so, then I a message came up on the screen saying something like “audio connection changed”. This has now stopped me from recording drums as it pops up every time. Have you had this issue, if so what was the solution? Thanks
Hi Mike! Excellent topic to cover. Any chance you can do a simple setup with an acoustic kit? 😊
Acoustic kit can be recorded using a full set of microphones, into an audio interface and into a DAW on a computer, like these vids...

And indeed just a smartphone can be used, like these...

And indeed other methods too - more vids to come on that subject soon.
Thanks Mike! Was looking for more like what minimal affordable equipment I would get to make it as simple as an electric kit. I guess it’s not as simple. I got rid of my initial electric kit as I thought the acoustics kit would be better, but I didn’t consider I would ever have the need to record. Your electric kit recording set up is fantastic!
This video saved my life, thanks a million Mike 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
🤛Let's go Allie
hi there love the video I have the td07dmk kit there's no mono port how do I use irig thanks in advance 🙏
Not used that module but think it just has a single stereo headphone/output socket. Should still work, just make sure you use a stereo cable otherwise you'll only hear one side of your kit! Or record to your computer using the USB output. Like I say, have not used that so can't personally guarantee it'll work as expected! Thanks for watching.
A timely post, and very helpful for an e-kit. However, I play an acoustic kit, and are wanting to start recording, just for personal use, for interest, and to track my progress (rather than keep using my phone recorder). I have zero knowledge or experience on this subject, and have been tossing up whether to use the 'recorder man' method, which involves just left and right overheads, and a kick mic. Of course, the other option, is close mics, and overheads. As a professional, have you any advice? Apologies for the long rant. Cheers
So yes - acoustic kit can be recorded using a full set of microphones, into an audio interface and into a DAW on a computer, like these vids...

As, you say, simpler methods can also be used. And indeed just a smartphone can be used, like these...

I'm using an iRig 2 without the app on my android. It's super simple but effective, you just need to get the right cables which could be three or four or even more depending on where you're sourcing the music from.
Thanks for watching. I find if I just use the camera app on iPhone (not the iRig Recorder app) it works but the sync between audio and video isn’t as good. Cheers!
@@MikeBarnesDrumsThanks for the video and for addressing the synch.
Thanks for this video. I bought irig usb. Is possible to record drums in stereo ? What’s the difference between record with irig and record directly between the module and the pc ? Thanks a bunch
Thanks for watching. Possible to record in stereo with iRig duo
How do you listen to both the drums from the sound module and the backing track playing while recording?
The backing track is running into the drum sound module via the "MIX IN" socket. So I'm just monitoring directly from the drum sound module, therefore hearing the drums and backing track at the same time. The iRig is capturing the whole thing. Very simple system! Thanks for watching.
Thanks alot! @@MikeBarnesDrums
Amigo buen trabajo, yo no tengo Ipad, solo tablet, podra funcionar así tambien?
I think so!
Do you use the free iRig recorder app (LE) or the paid version? I’m trying to use an iRig 2 device with the free app but the sound of my drums is awful.
Used the free for a while now the regular app. Both sounded good!
@@MikeBarnesDrumsthanks Mike. I might invest in the iRig you have instead then
Could you use the Irig 2 or the basic Irig also? Dual one is a bit expensive for me at the moment 😢
Hi Jo, you could use the basic iRig as far as I'm aware - but you then of course would only have one channel to record into. So you could record mono drum kit and backing track if you use the method described here. But not kit and microphone together, and not your drum kit in stereo. Cheers!
Thanks Mike 👍
After recording, I exported the track and when trying to to listen/watch from outside the app the audio is slowed by a lot. Any advice to fix this?
Is the audio truly slowed or just slightly out of sync? I know some users, depending on device used to record etc, have to slightly adjust the position of the audio to achieve a good sync with the video in post. Quickly done in iMovie or similar. If the audio is actually slowed down in some way, still fixable I think but a bit more involved. Thanks for watching.
Will the iRIG record the backtrack if I just use the Bluetooth on my td17?
As in you're Bluetoothing the backing track to the module? The iRig will record all sound the drum module is producing, so I think it would! But have never done that myself.
@@MikeBarnesDrums it arrives soon so we will find out! Thanks for the reply!
Are you recording video on the same phone or separate phone?
Same phone
Hellou, im using Irig 2 and Milenium mps1000 drums and i did all what you did, bit somehow its not working, it keeps external sound recording. Know anything about it? Tnx
Not wired up correctly? And are you using the iRig recorder app or just the camera on your phone?
@@MikeBarnesDrums i think it’s all corect, but im using phone camera, is that wrong? Tnx
@@roidboy5516 Use iRig Recorder!
@@MikeBarnesDrums tnx for your time and tips. I’ve done everything and made a recording with the iRig Recorder, but it still doesn’t work, still recording just external sound, dont know whats wrong.
Pleaseee how on earth do you record when you’re using a VST like Steven Slate Drums 5.5? 😩
Plug your kit into into your computer via USB (or whatever input your computer has). Open your DAW (Logic etc), pull up Steven Slate Drums (assuming you've installed it), record the audio in that whilst filming yourself. Sync audio and video afterwards in iMovie/Final Cut etc. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. Nice hooping btw 👏🏻
@@MikeBarnesDrums Thanks for the help and appreciate you liking my hooping! For some reason I’m not able to re-map the sounds of my e-kit in SSD 5.5. So frustrating but hope I figure it out soon enough
@@TheHoopLaedy Is there not a template for the electronic kit you're using in SSD? If not you'll have to map each kit piece manually. The process is usually something like pressing "learn" for each sound then hitting the kit piece on your kit you want to produce that sound. Good luck 🤜🏻
@@MikeBarnesDrums Yeah I did that for each drum and cymbal and the sounds did not change. Which was the frustrating part 😩😭
android ok????
An alternate (and free) option is to use Audacity to record yourself.
Yes, as I say at 1:02 there are many other ways to do it, and that would definitely be one. As I say in the vid, this video was a response to people asking how I do it. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
