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.

maybe a doubler? or maybe try creating new tracks from the original and ajusting the eq's and compression a little differently on each....or just adding more compression or limiting and normalizing in general...or panning and phase adjustion....just some thoughts.
hope that helped.

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.
