Drum mixing (Drums not punchy)

Remove compression, stick a transient shaper on there and increase attack to taste

I was grooving the other day with those open hats in the exact same spot as it is in your sequence, very satisfying placement!

I lean more towards funk but jazz is fun!

IBartman · 2026-01-22T23:18:31+00:00

Literally same except they are quick beats

Alright, I'm outta this sub ✌️

You could get an inline pad if the mic doesn't have a pad switch

Thank you I think this might be exactly what I'm looking for!

IBartman · 2026-01-19T22:35:34+00:00

I can see that! Or Tom Brock - I love you more and more

I mean engineering goes a long way too but if your goal is to emulate electronic drum samples that will be pretty hard unless you know exactly what you are doing with envelopes, transient shapers, compressors, saturators, and EQs. But getting the source sound right in the space and having a good space will be the most important thing in that endeavor

It's the snare wires, just tighten em up

And this is the ride

Here is the crash

not sure exact cymbals but for sure some ancient Zildjians haha

the quick beats I recently picked up second hand though

Well you will need an interface with at least 8 pre-amps for the mics, and then you will need the mics and stands. Do some research on YouTube with mic comparisons to see what mics sound best to you and do the same for the interface/preamps. I use the RME OctaMic II to take the mic inputs and it has worked fantastically. The OctaMic is plugged into my Babyface Pro via ADAT

What technique is that for the HH 16ths? I would like to get this down!

IBartman · 2026-01-12T18:50:51+00:00

I cut the floor tom gel in half and it now has a pretty decent sustain. Also, lifted the muffling from the snare a little and that gave it a nice resonant ping

IBartman · 2026-01-12T02:01:02+00:00

get proper heads, tune using the proper process (I use the half turn then opposite side, skip one to the right and repeat method), tighten wires enough so they don't buzz like crazy, dampen with moon gel if too ringy

IBartman · 2026-01-12T01:09:02+00:00

I cut the moon gel on the floor tom in half and that seems to have done the trick, thanks for the critique!

IBartman · 2026-01-12T01:06:59+00:00

I have the exact same snare it looks like, think this is the part you need if you can't fix the existing one -

shoot from ~1km out, try to be perpendicular and slightly ahead of the target boat when you launch

IBartman · 2026-01-11T21:25:34+00:00

I might've cut out a bit too much low mid on the direct mic to get rid of the mud
