How do you deal with harsh cymbals
I'm working on an EP for a friend of mine and I'm pushing myself to do a good job and I'm getting really happy with the results. I tracked everything right here in my living room just muffling the walls and windows with blankets, nothing fancy. Overall I think the quality of the recordings is good and everything sounds great except for one thing: the top end, the drum cymbals.

reducing harshness, buzzing of acoustic guitar
Hi
Did a live recording recently of a friend playing acoustic guitar in a club. Was able to get a clean feed off the PA into my ZOOMH4N.
Can anyone suggest some best practices when working with acoustic guitar in Audition or similar DAW?
What compression, equalization should I use?
How can I reduce some of the harshness and 'buzzing' sounds the strings make?
Harsh high-end from compression?
I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this or can explain to me why I am noticing this. I am mixing a pop country song. I have compressor plugs all over the place like on individual drums, drum buses, vocals, bass, etc. I also have compression at the main stereo bus and then a limiter also.

harsh hi hats
I use reason sample drums and I have noticed that my hihats are really clanky and it sounds like the drummer is hitting them as hard as they can.
I want more of a hissing sound.

Harsh overhead tracks
Hi all
Seems like I get myself in the same problem over and over again lately. How do I get the drum OH's to have some life without them sounding like an 1/8" drill bit in the ear drums. This is how I've been recording them lately

muddy, dull, and harsh
is the sound i seem to keep getting over and over while tracking dist. rhythm guitars. i have come to the conclusion its because I'm Micing the cab w/ 57's even though i have a decent pre (vmp2ke) and am isolating the sound w/ packing blankets. the tone I'm looking for is clear, tight distortion. some mics work better than others for different instruments/tones.

Eliminating harsh frequencies during mastering
Hey all..
I'm down to the mastering portion of my latest project (9 song rawk album, lotsa OD'd Les Pauls thru Marshalls, you get the idea).
In the past I have only used my T-Racks mastering software to bump up the overall volume, make things sound a little bit bigger etc..
