Seems to me that the dynamic range of drums in digital recording is the primary cause of low average loudness for my (rock) music, as opposed to tape where you can just push it and it flattens everything to a degree.
I like to keep dynamics to the music, but sometimes drum transients are just not realistic sounding on close mikes.
I can only think of three ways to deal with this, does anyone have any others?
1. Limit individual tracks - kick, snare, overheads, etc. to eliminate really high peaks.
2. Limit the drum group as a whole.
3. Just leave it and let mastering guy deal with it with his master limiter.
Many thanks for your thoughts.
