The Anti-Lambo
Hey there. I'm playing drums and bass and guitar on here. This is the first mix I've ever done using outboard compression in the mix phase. I enjoyed it and learned a lot. I know you don't really need anything that's not ITB these days but for me this was a great learning experience. Recommend if you have the capability. I also learned a lot about how I might set my drums for next time.
Drums have a bunch of mics. Bass is DI. Guitar is recorded with a pair of SDCs about 9 feet from the amp.
The outboard compression is all on the drums. One outboard compressor on the bass drum and another on an AUX track that has snare and toms. Both are parallel in a sense because the bass drum bus has a mix setting in Logic. I think I put it at 71% compressed signal. Something like that.
I actually recorded this tune a long time ago and posted it but I re-worked the format and it's better now.
I've listened to the mix on my home stereo and car stereo. Sounds decent to me but not finished. I haven't done any automation yet. There may be a few opportunities. All comments welcome. Thanks!
