I am about a year into my home recording experience and I opted to mix my band's newest album. The way I am going about it is a little different because my gear is a bit unorthodox and I have to work with what I have.
The tracks were recorded to a Zoom r-16 and from there, I dumped them into Audacity for editing. I do not have a gate plugin and therefore foolishly decided to edit kick, snare, rack and floor manually. This took weeks!
Now that everything is ready for mixing, I have dumped my tracks into my Tascam dp24sd and started with my compression, reverb and levels. Once I started this step, I realized that we never mic'd up the hi-hat! We mic'd the drums: kick, snare, rack, floor, (R) Overhead and (L) Overhead.
My question is: now that I have already edited out any usable hi-hat from the snare mix, how should I EQ the overhead to make the hi-hat present without making the crash too bright?
