Why can't I learn my lesson already? |
I am currently mixing a song of mine. I am into my 5th week, 7-8 hour days, 6 days a week. Just getting the low end kick to work with the bass and the whole rhythm section sounding right took me 3 weeks.
I guess the problem you encounter is different from mine. I have a sound in mind that I want, but don't have the skills to get it fast.
You sound to me like you don't know what you want in terms of sound (of the drums), that's why you approach it from the angle of improving the "sonic quality" instead of how the drum works in the context of the song, or it's "sonic style".
I find I can quickly enough get good sounding drums when I solo the drums, but to get a drum sound that works with the song, and supports it, well that takes me a long time
