Need some suggestions for fixing a harsh mix. Lately, I have both a limiter and compressor in the master/main window. Doubled instruments panned around 60-85 % R and L. pretty raw tracks.
If I wanted it wider, with more space, what could be done? To keep the drum track audible I have compressed it heavily. Otherwise, the drums disappear. My other choice is to lower everything else. Lowering isnt going to get me to what I want. To me I hear that the drum samples need to be 'pushed' up somewhere in the mix. Where? Im not sure. Louder drums seem better.
I threw some doodles up into Reaper. Should drums go 'splat' against the limiter wall?
less compressed for comparison.
