Hi there everyone,
I'm a complete novice at playing and completely lacking in any knowledge of recording, so go easy on me. I don't know what to call anything and I may give you tons of info you don't need
I have attached a snippet of some drums I just recorded. I'm using CAD mic setup with an independent mic for bass, snare and the high hat and cymbal are sharing one mic. I don't mind the sound of the brass and bass, but I very much dislike the "ringing" of the snare. It's a Pearl steel snare with the steel spring band across the bottom.
Is there a way to make this sound more like a traditional snare? I'm trying to get rid of the echo that sounds after the hit. I have a tom that a previous owner taped a square of a folded paper towel onto the bottom of that seems to get rid of the ringing quite well, but I haven't tried that yet.
I appreciate any suggestions you can provide and thank you in advance.
