Reagate....
Thanks Greg. I understand that this comes with Reaper. Do you have experience using it with drum recordings? Any recommendation on parts of the drum kit to apply the gating technique to?

Do you have any recommendations on EQ and compressors for drums? D
Yup. Use what's necessary. Don't use what isn't necessary. That's about all I can tell you. Every player, room, drum, head, and mic is different. You're gonna have to experiment and find what works for you. Recording real drums is hard. You're not gonna nail it right away. It's gonna take time, tweaking, and lots of patience.
Start with the basics: Set up the mics properly, tune the drums well, and play well. Without those three things being in order, nothing else matters.
Thanks for the pointers. Can you recommend specific EQs or compressors to use in a DAW? I am struggling to get a decent set of plugins, but it seems like the ones built into Reaper are pretty solid.

ReaEQ.
I like Density MKII and the Antress Modern stuff.
