Drumagog woes..

[VSpaceBoy]

It's not that the hits are too quiet, it's that the hits are quiet against the bleed. When drummers start fairy-tapping the snare during blastbeats, things like the hi hat are just as loud in the snare mic as the snare is.

Well if you can hear the difference, then you can adjust it in the volume envelope Right? Boost to the snare hits...?

That would take way more time and wouldn't work as well as stripping silence.

How would stripping the slience work if the snare hits are the same db as the hat hits?

Well, you can now at least select the hi hat hits and delete them. You would have the audio sort of already chopped up and ready to go. Yes, it will still take a bit of time, but it can be done, and this is much quicker and more effective than anything else.

Nobody said "easy" anywhere. Sometimes, you spend a LOT of freakin' time on a track just to make up for the poor performance. But it is what you have to do sometimes to make it all work.
