hello Charles,
first of all, congratulations for your work.
now my question...
i'd really like to know how to obtain a long 'cranked' sustain in a snare track, let's say the snare sound of 'in my place' by coldplay.
do you think it's possible to create that in the digital domain?
i have some well recorded drums tracks, in a nice big room (the ceiling is more than 18 feet high) BUT no room mics.. only overheads.
in the coldplay recording i can hear that this kind of snare sound is somehow coming from the room , probably compressed and gated. now i don't have the luxury of another recording... how could i fake that sound? is there any trick i could use ?
am i right in saying that the sustain is from the room mics?
thanks!
