    The electronic drums conundrum

    UPDATE: I am much more satisfied with the drums/bass after working on them last night. I ended up adding a healthy dose of low end and cut just a smidge on the mids and highs. I sent the tracks to Group1/2 and compressed the crap out of them there, bringing them up underneath the main drums...

    Where do you start your mixes from?

    Drums Bass Guitars Other Rhythm instruments Lead Vox Lead Instruments Other Vox Extra Stuff BUT, I see where people that go to the vox after drums and bass are coming from. I'm going to try this approach tomorrow on a song I am re-mixing anyway and see how it feels.

    Panning

    I concur with the sentiment conveyed by miroslav. I myself like to use the whole stereo field and fewer fx overall than most people. That being said, I found an old stereo 2 track mix of a jam that I am absolutely saving and using it sounds so good. A kick mic, a KSM32 acting as OH/room...

    The electronic drums conundrum

    Yes! And that's why I've kept these tracks for so long. I thought he played so tastefully and I never felt the tracks sounded bad myself. It's very validating to me (thanks!) to hear other folks notice his 'touch', even through a Roland V-drum kit. I was always planning on reworking a number...

    The electronic drums conundrum

    These are Roland V-drums played in 2004. I only have them as a 2-track stereo mix. Hence the quandary. I think his performance is great, but I can't EQ or compress or tweak any individual element of the drums. The guitar track you aren't digging was done through a Sansamp rack unit (the old...

    The electronic drums conundrum

    Hey everyone. My first batch of original music is ready to see the light of day, but I'm having a hard time reconciling one problem.......... the drums are electronic, but the performance is so solid I don't want to replace them. Everything else is done. I sent one song out to master with the...

    First mix from 1 room hideaway

    Consensus tells me I need to add tom mics. The question there is, do I go with my little Senns that clip on the toms and risk a bit of noise or go with 57/58 on the higher toms and my AKG D550 on the lower floor tom? The clips sure are a lot less clutter, but I've heard of noise problems using...

    First mix from 1 room hideaway

    The O/Hs are almost 100% panned, but not quite. More like 95% panned. I'll tighten it up a bit and see if the cymbals become a bit more present. Or, would a small amount of compression on the drum mix be helpful for this? QUESTION: Do you track your drums with panning in place, or leave it...

    FOR TRADE: Steinberg UR824 MOTU 2408mkII TC Helicon Voiceworks

    Hello everyone. I am new here, though I have been lurking and reading the plethora of threads for years now. I have a few pieces of gear I'd like to trade simply because I've found I enjoy my Sountracs Topaz more than working in the box. I guess I'm just more of a touch the knobs kind of...
