im getting the worst bleed from my snare, and tom mics... i have thought of getting a pad on each of these mics but i dont know if thats necessary... any suggestions on minimizing bleed or tutorial on compressing/eq'ing it out perhaps?
any info is greatly appreciated. |
Compressing will only make the bleed louder..
Eq' may sound fake. But use low and high-pass filters to cut the unnecessary freqs.
Take your time and work on placements.. A pad just reduces the volume by -10db..
On snare? use tight cardioid patterns to avoid hihat bleed. And the rest, you just have to live with bleed. Sometimes it makes your drumkit sound like one big instrument..
If you want totally silence on the toms. sample the tom before tracking. then put it back when done, it may sound fake. but it's total silence between the hits.
