Unclenny · 17th December 2007

As far as adding EQ.....I'm sure someone will tell you that if it sounds good it is good.

It so happens that I just did a bunch of tracks from an Alesis SR-16 on a tune. I don't bump things up very often but I pushed up the freq's pretty hard on the crash and ride to get 'em to come out a little and it sounded pretty good so I left it.

Slapped two different comp plugs on the snare too.

Pre-recorded drums are the weakest part of my stuff so I figure I might as well do whatever it takes to feel better about them.

Sweep the freq's until it tickles your fancy.
