What's up, it's my first post here. Wanting to know if anyone has a trick up their sleeve...

Ok this is my first post on this site, but I have been reading all the great info on here for a couple years now...I'm in the midst of recording my band on my Korg D16, yes I know its not the greatest, but I know how to use it very well.

Hi everyone
Just have a few questions

How much gate should be used on drums?
How much compression?
And whats good plugins to make the toms and snare sound half dry and bouncy?
Thank you

Im in the process of mastering some drum tracks and have one quick question:
while mixing the snare and bass drum,is it advisable to have the bass drum set at a lower db level,and let the bass guitar bring the lower freq,s into the mix? :?

Hi

I'm trying to mix some drums that I got from a custom drum track recording service.

I haven't had much experience doing this, and am struggling to get a sound happening.

The drum service sent a stereo mix of the drums as well as the nine individual drum tracks, and for practice, I am trying to match the sound of their mix.

Hi everyone, Id like to hear some opinions on how to mix a heavy metal drum recording. Ive got this guy coming next week to my studio to record some heavy metal drums. I would like to make a very good Bass Drum sound, which is very important in this type of music.

I would be pleased if someone's got any special tip for this session.

Thanks in advance

If the drums have been recorded. And now it's time to mix them down. How do you use the kick mic as the trigger for the kick drum sample?
Or do you have to record with a trigger on the kick drum?

Hey all --

Is there a rule of thumb when mixing kick drums and bass together in a track?

Because since both usually occupy the low frequencies...
Should they both be seperated?

Thanks!

What's the rule of thumb when it comes to getting a "good" setting on your EQ for bass guitar and drums? :w:

I am looking for some advice when mixing drums using the 3 mic method regarding eq, grouping and general mixing techniques. I am challanged with getting the drums to have impact in the mix.

Eg. I want a little more air and I get a raging hi hat. I want to have a stronger kick and things get muddy or the bass looses impact.
