Hey All,
I was doing a recording for a metal band, which we made as a scratch track for a demo. We recorded the entire drum kit as a single track instead of routing everything separately. In the overall mix the kick is lacking. We're going to be re-recording everything (the performances are a little sloppy and these are just early tracks,) however, I was wondering if there's a good way to bring the kick out a bit with EQ.
I'm thinking that adjusting EQ on the drum tracks (to bring out the click) as well as the other tracks (to create some room) would help, but I'm looking for some typical frequencies that might be a good starting point. Remember, the drums are one track right now so anything that I do to the kick will also be applied to toms, snare, and cymbals.
Think of it as a challenge to make the best out of a bad situation. Thanks a lot everyone!
