Bad Acoustic Drum, any pointers?

When recording, the Acoustic drum is the only one that I need a feel of power added. What should I do? A) Should I make better use of my plugins? Which ones? B) Fix the drum C) Something else.

I'm confused by what you mean by "the Acoustic drum". Is this a single drum, the acoustic set all together? If it's a single drum, you may try drum doubling/replacing.



Sound clip could help too. Especially if it's the whole drum set that you're having trouble with. "Need a feel of power added" makes it a bit hard to tell what it sounds like now.

Step #1: Fix the Drum. Unless you plan on using some sort of sound replacing software, as discussed [="http://recording.org/ftopict-52719.html"] here. [/]="http://recording.or…"] here. [/]



You may have heard a saying about certain things that can't be polished... Nothing else matters until you make the drum sound good. Good heads, well-tuned, hit by someone who knows how.



If you're still not sure, more sound replacer info: [[url=http://="http://www.centipea…"] here. [/]="http://www.centipea…"] here. [/]



This isn't the only one, but this was just discussed here 2 days ago - so fresh in my mind.
