What did i miss in this mix?

[dumass]

yea, but i use 3-5k for a slap sound in the kick

any suggestions on how to get rid of bleed from the cymbals on the bass drum track?

where are you placing your kick mic?

an akg d112 inside the kick, several inches from the beater will give you very little bleed.

thats wat i been doing...front skin off, and an akg d112 inside the kick

Then your drummer must be really bashing those cymbals!

You could try gating the kick, then....

 

[dumass]

would i be loosing punch and slap then?

several inches from the beater will give you very little bleed.

will also give you less low end.


Put a nice thick blanket over the kick drum.

 

[dumass]

you mean jus put a thick blanket over it and cover the open end?

Not necessarily - depends how you place it.... (there are about 1.3 million variations!!!)
