Hey guys,
That drum sample thread got me thinking and to be honest I can't think of a lot of work I've done over the past few years where it's been a situation where I've reinforced drums. I can obviously see the benefits of stacking sounds to create depth and punch and I have Trigger but my biggest issue with it has always been phase. In the editor I find it's at it's worst, on an aux I still experience the same thing. Are you guys going through stuff by hand and fixing it after the fact or is there a method of reinforcing drums that I'm just overlooking?
Hope everyone is well over here, thanks John for keeping the place!

I still use good old sound replacer (audio suite) to print a track and then treat It like any other mic.

2 by 4 braces and duct tape, mostly.

Lots of small amounts of compression, some of it parallel. The small distortions from compression and from the small delay of the bussing make it sound a lot more full that way.
If needed, the kick and/or toms get RBass on them.

Try blending in a parallel channel that is slammed ABI with an 1176. Man, talk about reinforcing...

Well, I was referring to ITB UAD1176 that you can crush until it sounds like a bag of razorblades...I'm not sure the FC526 can sound that bad to be honest. I need to try! |

BTW, jsteiger...just using the 526 on bass yesterday...slowest attack and release...unfreakingbelievable. |

I think you mean an FC526. Cough, cough..... I think you misspelled API2500... The topology is very different. VCA vs FET. Discrete opamps and transformers are a commonality though. |

I split my kick and snare with dbx 160s and my toms and oh's get parralel compression from the 1176. Often it all gets a light buss compression (sometimes in parallel) afterwards.
A neat little trick my mentor taught me was while tracking tune the kick to the 12th harmonic low e (or whatever your tuned to) of the bass. It gives it all a natural glue.

Room mics left fairly clean - just some slow attack, fast release compression doing a few dB. Sometimes none. Overheads about the same. Close mics have judicious automation and limiting.
I'm more of a tuning, mic choice and mic positioning guy. I think my days of 57's on toms are over, made a huge different to just ditch them.

Crush the hell out of room mics.

butt mic smashed up. or 1932 band-limited condenser mic out front, does it's own smooth compression fat midrange thing.
