Is there any way to effectively double a snare track and make one of them sound like its being picked up by a "room mic"? I don't have a very good room to record in, so I don't use room mics on drums. But I was wondering if theres a way to make a realistic ambient sound with reverb and EQ, etc. without it just sounding like, well, a snare with reverb. I don't know if I'm effectively conveying what I'm going for, but I pretty much want to try to "fake" an ambient mike sound on the snare. Most reverb settings I try sound too "wet". Not wet as in too much effect vs. original signal, but wet as in the actual reverb not sounding open and dry.
Maybe I just have to set the reverb a certain way? I was thinking of doubling the snare track, cutting off some lows to simulate the "removal" of the proximity effect, and then adding a really dry reverb, and then dropping that track down to more of a "background" level. I dont know. Maybe somebody already has a tried and true method for this kind of thing.
Maybe I'm just looking for a really good reverb unit that I dont have.
