Question.
In the "Which compressor for drum submix thread" you mentioned doing a seperate kick track instead of a seperate compressed track in my "only have 4 track simultaneous recording capability" situation.
Dumb question but would you then leave the kick out of the stereo drum mix ........ i.e. keep it completely seperate????
We did some test runs where I did the kick track and had a prominent kick in the stereo mix also.
It sound good but I am wondering if I leave it out of the stereo track it wont "get in the way" at mixdown.
The drummer's kit (handmade and ssoouuuuwwweeeeeet) has a huge bass drum. Its like 3 feet deep and the RE20 pick up a lot of body so had to use some extreme EQ but sounds sharp and fat.
I'm guessing I will need to reallly scoop the solo kick track and give it even more click as the tracks stack up.
I am using the DBX 286a for the parallel compression on the kick/snare/toms, BTW, and its sounds pretty darn good. I think I learned how to use that compressor accidentally tonight.
Well tonight was setup and tomorrow is the real deal.
