hey
I might be the dumbest guy not to have figured it out before, but I figured out how to get less ambience in the drum mics. I didn't wanna get rid of it, but wanted a bit less bleeding between the mics.
I took a compressor and instead of compressin with 3:1 ratio or whatever else, I set it at 0,6:1 with the treshold just higher than the ambience. This way, suppose you're working on the snare mic, just the snare hit will be expanded, so louder. You set the attack at 0,5 and a long release, like 300, so you don't loose anything in the snare. This way you can push the volume to a lower level, which will lower the bleeding volume but keep the snare as loud as it was.
You keep the ambiance, but edit the snare more precisely
I then added another compressor with a fast attack (maibe 10) and fast release (80 or something) with the treshold setted to where the snare it happens, and a big ratio like 20:1 (well known technique I think).
Then I got an exciter in the chain, messing around till I get a satisfying sound.
I did that to kick, snare and toms. worked real good and wanted to share it with people around here.
