Anyone ever make a really bad judgement call during tracking and you just want to chug a bottle of Drain-O at mix time or maybe halfway through the overdubs?
I'm attempting to mix a project where we started with the drums and the band wanted a "full sound, no attack" on the bass drum. The drum had a full reso head on it so I couldn't get a mic inside and I didn't put one on the beater side. Now I have this lumpy mess of a kick and I'm trying to make it heard in the mix but it just ain't working. Sounds great with just drums & guitars and ok with drums & bass, but all three + overdubs and vocals?
Ugh.
FWIW, I've tried to trigger a sample and it's damn shaky at best. I might have to go with the buried "implied kick" vibe on this one.
