3/1/2023 0 Comments Crush the industry drum cober![]() ![]() I actually like the sound of the room quite a LOT. The room is acoustically treated on the wall the drums are facing. I'll drop the cardiods on them again to see what happens. ![]() I've noticed that these overhead mics pick up a LOT of toms with the Omni capsules installed on them. ![]() I really want to avoid samples at all cost. I could probably use a good tuning on the rack toms since I've played it endlessly over the past three months since I bought it. I'm pretty lucky that I've got a badass drum kit (Tama Starclassic Bubinga Birch Performer) as it is, which really helps. The snare is the only thing that I really did a LOT to. I added a bunch of HF to the kick and scopped out a bit of mids to make it snap more. See how it sounds.So far I've been pretty lucky to not need to really EQ anything. Compress the kick and snare for sure, and depending on the song, try mixing in the toms, and maybe even a bit of the overheads. So try that out, and give it some parallel compression. And again, make sure the kick is hardly heard in the overheads. Don't be afraid to boost more though, if you're working with a bad kick, or want a very very modern sound, that 5k boost can easily hit 12db or more. To get closer to the original I'd suggest -4db at 300, and +5db at 5khz. Boost it around 80-100hz (wherever the kick frequency is), cut it around 200-300, to remove some boxiness, and boost around 5k to get that click or smacking sound. Don't be afraid to EQ too far on a kick drum, the afterproduct shouldn't sound much like the original anyways. Just EQ the f**k out of it, and compress if needed. There is no way to record a kick to sound as intense as it does in modern music, and no, you don't need to trigger or sample it. Lastly, you've got a good start for your kick. But if it does, the recording sounds like it's tuned tight as hell. It's pretty different tonally from the original though, I don't know if that matters to you. Maybe a bit of parallel compression could thicken it, but it's really nice as is. And then again around 4-5khz, wherever the smack of your toms lies. Just give each tom track a boost around it's fundamental. Your toms do sound a bit open, but A/B listening to the original, they're pretty open there as well. Also maybe add some additional presence to the overheads, high shelf boosting around 5k just a tad. I like to hi-pass even higher to really dry up the toms/snare, but I'm judging against the original recording, and it's pretty open. Just make sure to cover the kick noise and drown the toms/snare a bit. At least on the drums, your cymbals sound great. You've got too much overhead sound going on. But you'll need to EQ it pretty extremely. Someone will probably hate me for this, but you can definitely tighten that up without samples. ![]()
