Anyway: I'm mixing a track, and I'm a bit stuck with the drum sound.
I need to keep the overheads pretty loud in order to get a proper spatial image and I like how the kit sounds this way, it really works for the song... only problem is the cymbals, that are, well, way too loud (and they're also a bit bright).
If I push the OHs down, I get a proper cymbal level but I obviously begin losing depth as the close mics become more predominant. Everything sounds less lively as well, especially the snare.
I found a mono room track but it is not really useable.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this? |
Yeah....
sounds like a OH's mic position problem..
try to move as the fellow slut before me posted...
but try 2 or 3 positions... and make takes...
then decide what fits best
There is no One recipe for any given situation
too many variables.... Room, Mics , pres... but
over all is the KIt itself and the player...
