Ah, I just compress the individual drums, maybe a faster compressor on the whole kit to put it in place spatially, and crush a room mic or fake room send. I never parallel crush the whole kit for whatever reason. RMS raising? I don’t remember why I don’t. Well, it's honestly just out of naivete on my part most likely...Everybody has their workflows...it's hard to break me out of one - then I try it and immediately it becomes part of the process. The cymbals can get phasey with a Zener in parallel, so sometimes I'll just leave the OH and Room out...but most productions, I don't even do parallel. Yeah the parallel knob cymbals vs the eqed parallel send cymbals. I just forget why I do things a certain ways. I low pass the room crush at 3 to 5 kHz to get rid of the phasey hash. |

Has anyone here ever tried that Sound Radix plugin called "Drum Leveler"? I've been wondering about that thing. Lately, my drums have all been Superior Drummer, so I haven't needed anything as dramatic as Drum Leveler appears to be capable of, but I've been curious. I like the UI. I demo'd it when it came out and couldn't really gel with it, but that was years/workflows ago so I don't really trust that impression much. I use it on individual tracks to even out uneven hits, mostly snare and kick. I love it, I prefer it to compression, to me it sounds more natural. I don't use it on the drumbus though. |

Good old Waves L2 here. I just tickle it a db or so. Too much reduction and it destroys the signal.

A few harder rock and punk things lately I've put on Stillwell Bombardier set 50% parallel low ratio slow attack fast release, into DP's Masterworks Limiter to shave the strays.

I’ve found it most helpful when a drummer hits inconsistently or overall too soft. It has really saved a couple of projects I mixed without having to lean too heavily on samples. I use it on my own bad drumming :-) I use it morefor bringing up weak hits than limiting loud ones though. |

D-COMP sounds like it could work VERY well for your required parameters and workflow.... and what do ya know...... 😉 |

I’m not CLA w/ a L1 on every DAW output to converter to SSL console
Buttttt I do love me some L1.. parallel crushes, insert smashes, “ adding / enhancing “ overtones/ harmonics or sniping off a few dB on snare.
And it’s two sliders ( the GUI not mini burgers )
I have also use two before in parallel ( w FF C2 ) to get a smashed master I blended back in with the main master to achieve solidarity on the low end & excitement in the mids while smashing to achieve a nice RMS.
