so i recorded already...

i didnt realize it at the time, but now i am. the snare clips audibly every so often (when those huge hits come). And it's on the snare track itself, aka - must have been the mic clipping. so the clip is RECORDED. is there ANYTHING I can do to get rid of these??

i hope...its kinda annoying.


the pic blow is a really close close up of the actual clip. If I take that part out, I can't hear the actually little clip..so the rest of the snare hit would be fine I take it. So any ideas?

If you've got an overhead track as well, you could put envelopes on both, boosting the Ohead slightly and cutting the snare track at the dodgy bits
 
you could also copy a good snare hit and carefully paste it over the clipped ones.
 
Drumagog....

Using drumagog is like driving an automatic whereas replacing them by hand is like driving manual. I second drumagog! :D
 
is there a such thing as a free triggering FX? haha...ha
 
Not that I know of.

Drumagog is not free, and it's not cheap but it's bloody effective
 
It's only $150 for the basic version. It will pay for itself the first time you use it to pull your ass out of a fire. You can also use it to change good but inappropriate sounding drums. Say the drummer has a great sounding piccolo snare. It sounds great on all the songs, except the ballad. You use Drumagog to replace it.
 
Get Drumagog, because once I spent 8 hours manually entering a kick drum when it clipped (in an external EQ ran before the compressor). You have no idea how badly I wanted to die.

If you consider the amount of time it will save you, it pays for itself in one or two uses. I expect to make 25 bucks an hour for recording and mixing... so that cost me about 200 bucks in lost time because I didn't charge the band--it would have been unethical. (Plus I didn't tell them, it was my error on unfamiliar equipment.)

So I used a sample of Dave Grohl's kick drum from Nevermind. :) There are some great isolated drum hits during the fill to the song "In Bloom".
