this is going to sound kind of vague...but
I just got finished recording a pop punk band and I'm working with the effects and compression right now. I've been trying to compress the drums but it just doesn't seem to give me the results i want at all. The snare drum itself sounds good in my opinion, but when I try to compress it, it still sounds inconsistant and isnt the same volume all the time. I've tried looping it into my RNC, using compression plugins, and both.
I've been listening to some of this band's CD collection and the drums all sound really consistant and really fat.
Also on the kick I'll get it compressed and sounding good and how i want it, but once i play it with the rest of the mix sometimes i get this high end click that i dont want, and other times it doesnt. It's all really frustrating.
what am i doing wrong? what can i do better?
thanks a lot,
T
