For this George Lynch mix I did for his SOULS OF WE project, I used the new Deluxe Kick that comes with TRIGGER mixed with Kick 15 for the upper smack, and then then attenuated a low shelf 2db and added 4k about 3 db with my console's eq. Then I compressed with a Dragon with the slowest attack and release at 9 o'clock, just doing 1 to 2 db of Gain reduction.
As for room mics, turn em down! The raw NRG room is also gonna give you less ambience then the SSD room. |
Steven,
Pardon the ignorance of this question, but is it realistic to use just SSD smaples for drum tracks? I don't have room to record a full kit, and I do my demos with SSD or Superior Drummer. Is it amateurish or less than professional to use only drum samples in a mix, in this case from SSD?
I'm an avid musician, but I lack in drum recording and mixing. I just want my tracks to sound real, true, and as high quality as I can get.
Thanks,
JROD
