I have been using their drum leveler plug lately as well, as I received files to mix from another studio and the snare barely existed in the overheads. That, too, is an amazing plug.

I have been starting with snare and trying that first. Sometimes I do as Sound Radix suggests and go from snare to overheads and overheads to the rest. It varies from song to song as I simply try different things and am still experimenting with the plug. I also have a lower ceiling in my drum area and the place is killed dead to deal with it. It made a huge difference for me when I started using it. I do have two of my room mics about 8' in front of my kit on a Bluiem line bar and I AutoAlign the two of them to each other. That really makes a huge difference in my overall kit's focus. Randy Try using the kick as your reference it might surprise you it might not but it might! Kick bleeds into everything and is the least directional of anything in the kit! I learned to use the kick as the reference at Meyersoubds SIMM school on where to align a PA to way Romany years ago! |

Will do. I think I have already, but I am not certain of it.

I've tried most ways and get the best result by aligning one OH to the snare and then aligning the rest of the kit to that OH (even th other OH).
It just clears things up and gives me a way better starting point. Easier to tailor sounds when you're not fighting phase smear.
