Ironklad Audio said:yea, but i would bet that it has more to do with tracking issues than mixing...for example, i have a less than ideal room for tracking drums in - so small that it won't allow for any bass trapping, so i spend a lot of time combating the mud
sounds like you got the vibe on where the root cause lies in the mix.
my brother and i were talking about rooms, and like a 57mic'd cab, its so much in the face of the amp there's not alot of room effect so I wouldn't think thats it. Bass Gtr, you can go direct only and see if thats it?
do you mute each drum track one by one, to see if things clear up all of a sudden? or mute the bass gtr track out and listen to just the drums for a day or two and see if the freq-smearing is gone..
an interesting problem, like doing forensic science in the audio spectrum....
is it 350hz or 425? maybe 180hz??
are your drums well-tuned? I'm not a drummer but I can hear the difference in my sons kit, and new heads make a huge improvement over a flappy worn head.
pfffffffffffffffffttttt...
