dumass said:yea, i mic my snare from the side too, in this drum track. but the problem is, theres a lot of snare on the overhead track...and obviously, the snare sounds pretty distant on that. so if i lower the overhead track, then i loose cymbals. im gonna go with the eqing, but i dont wanna kill the natural sound of the cymbals too much.
TexRoadkill said:As a general rule it depends on which side of the drum the mics are facing. If you use the drummers position as your + reference then then any mics facing the tops of the drums should be + and any mics facing the bottom (like a kick mic in the drum, bottom tom mics or under snare mic) should be inverted.
masteringhouse said:Try compressing the overhead track in order to lower the volume of the snare hits relative to the cymbals. You should then be able to bring this to where it's needed.
