We're not talking about professional tracking here. I'm sure if it were, a lot of snare in the OH would be fine. Each drum had an sm57 (close) pointing down on it and there is a single condenser as the OH behind the drummer to his left a bit; facing down about 30 degrees.

Hi all- Trying to get a good snare sound out of the drum tracks and I just can't seem to get the snare where I want it. If I could simply EQ the snare by itself, it would be fine. However, there is too much snare in the overhead and I can't seem to get the "in your face" snap I want on the...

hahaha... The problem is that they invite the worst for the beginning of the season. They just make noises with their mouths. I don't think it can be called singing. Apparently it's good for ratings. Don't get me wrong; I like to hear a singer with good pitch, but I can also really dig a...

I suppose there is a noticeable benefit for bands with vocalists that can meet or beat their recording in a live/intimate live setting. This is where the money is made. Most people don't buy "records" any more.

One thing that sucks is when the vocalist seems to be impeccable (because of the pitch correction), only to find out at the live show that they really stink.

I think it stinks for vocalists who try hard to have good pitch. People who are aware of pitch correction usually assume it's being used. I don't use it. I suppose I would if the song calls for it.

Thanks, TripleM. The gtrs are a bit thin and need some added low end. It's tough to get them fat without stepping on the bass.

I have similar controls in my midi drum application. I'll play with that a bit. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback, Elton123. I agree about the vocals. I have a version where I've pushed up the vox a bit. Any suggestions for breathing extra life into the midi drums?

Thanks, jitteringjim and CoolCat, for taking the time to give a listen.

No critics, huh? Cut a newbie some slack! :)
