Regular tone threaders know I like typical clean verse heavy chorus grunge... I've noticed something when attempting to use EZDrummer (cheers miner).
I'm generally using quite high velocity snare hits cos the sound the best, so when programming I generally start with everything pretty high velocity and then bring some hits down to add a bit of realism..
Now, when applying this to one of my previous songs I've noticed that the drums sound great in the verse but go quiet in the chorus.. Would this be cos my previous mix had the chorus guitars mixed too loud and I'd used louder drums for the chorus to compensate so I should start by remixing my guitars... Or should I be using lower velocity drums for my verse.. I find lower velocity drums sound a bit shit though. Now I'm using EZDrummer I'm in a position where my drums are at a similar volume through the song, which is probably a good thing so I'm thinking that I should remix the guitars along with the drums.
