I'm lost with drum sounds at the moment..
I kind of feel like the whole track is in the wrong frequency spaces, like the bass freqs aren't low enough and there's an ugly resonance to the snare and overheads.
I'm in a bedroom, not a big one and it's essentially a perfect square. The walls are very reflective and I feel that's where the ugly upper-mid sharpness is coming from. Absolutely a terrible recording environment, I know.
Mono overhead, MXL v67 and dynamic mics on close.
I know bodgy sound is inevitable with these problems, so I'm really asking what I should be doing in terms of EQ to tame the upper mid hurt? I either feel I'm taking too much away from the snare and overheads and the sound becomes thin, or I end up getting too much ugly lower mid and upper mid resonance from the snare. I can deal with the overheads being a bit temperamental.
Basically, I wanna know if I'm going in the right direction in terms of trying to polish these turds, or if these tracks are even worth working with.
