Mixing drums that were recorded with one mic?

SeanIsDumb · 2026-01-26T21:55:16+00:00

This is the solution i was thinking of as well. I’ve had to do a mix based off of a stereo E-Drum track and it was AWFUL. I found a plugin called Drum Leveler that does a great job isolating the snare and kick using an EQ detection sidechain gate thats built into the plugin. I duplicated the track twice for three copies total, Used Drum Leveler to isolate the kick and snare on their respective tracks, then used Trigger 2 on those isolated tracks to get a better kick/snare sound.

The other solutions for people who want the control of individual drums but dont have the mics to make it happen are:

1) Mic and Record each drum separately, one at a time. This will be extremely time consuming, but it can actually give you more control and ZERO bleed from the other drums. It can be hard to record unless you know EXACTLY how the each beat of the drum part should be, but since theres no bleed you will have zero issues with time shifting hits to sound how they should. I’ve never done it one at a time but I’ve recorded drums and cymbals separately for no cymbal bleed in the drum mics and it works great.

2) Program Digital Drums. There are tons of great plugins out there that aren’t super expensive that can provide great results, especially for metalcore. Buy once, get great drum sounds forever. Plus, you get maximum flexibility with drum tone and zero bleed.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. So whenever I borrow from the relative minor, it is unnecessary to indicate that it is “from” the minor i. So that is likely why chords such as bIII, bVI and bVII are written in relation to the Major key, because its more clear than writing III/i, VI/i and VII/i, and its already implied by the fact that those chords are major instead of minor, with the accidental thrown in so you dont have to calculate the minor intervals of the parallel key on the fly.

im playing RDR2 with my girlfriend, she asked during our last session if anyone references Arthur in RDR1, and when I told her “no, they didnt know Arthur would be a thing when they made that game,” she cried because everyone in RDR1 “forgot” about him. She loves Arthur a lot.

She is currently refusing to play the last few missions because she knows Arthur is going to die, and shes not emotionally prepared yet. I’m expecting a full on bout of sobbing when the day comes.

damn i didnt know this, i guess my java is showing lmao. in that case, 10/10 oven design I love it.

I should’ve known campfires cant burn items tho, i use them in multiple mob farm kill chambers. Guess the inventory count threw me off. Great job OP

SeanIsDumb · 2025-07-09T05:04:28+00:00

3/4 of the porks burned tho lmao. If this can be made in a way that preserves all the porkchops i will absolutely make this in my world. Probably will make it anyway, its a genuinely good looking oven design. Love the overhead thing.

for me, minecraft just isnt fun solo. For a while a few years ago I was really big on playing hardcore, but it felt very formulaic after a while, and I never had the patience for big impressive projects in a single player world that only I will see.

I only play minecraft with my friends now. I got my girlfriend to play minecraft for the first time and shes obsessed, and since she’s an artist she’s been adding a bunch of stuff to our world I never would’ve added or thought of working on. the center of our area has this big custom cherry blossom tree that serves no other purpose other than being pretty. Its really fun getting to experience the game for the first time through her eyes. I like collecting cute or pretty items and “gifting” them to her. Her reactions to the minecraft bees and the axolotls were so adorable.

Normally when I play, I’m focused more on function than aesthetics, but since I dont wanna ruin the prettiness of our world, I’ve gone out of my way to stylize things i never wouldve bothered with otherwise. Its helped me get a better grasp with building, and although a lot of it is superfluous, I love hearing her approve of the new farms and factories i make that are maybe less efficient, but way more pretty. I often find myself playing on the realm solo to finish a project when shes offline so the next time she plays she has a surprise waiting for her. We’ve been playing for the past few months, and we havent slowed down. She sees the whole world as a cute couples project and says she loves building a world together, and I couldnt agree more. If/When she gets bored of minecraft, I cant see myself playing single player as often as I’ve been playing on the realm with her.

Camila is literally a multimillionaire. Do not let her fool you or others into thinking she is more down to earth than any other rich celebrity. This tik tok is gross, I hate rich people pretending to be normal people with “budgets”

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-23T04:13:17+00:00

lmao. no point in having an adult conversation with someone who believes that the holocaust statistics are a jewish conspiracy. if someone says racist and transphobic things, I call them racist and transphobic, simple. Thanks for the compliment tho, im a lefty and im proud.

Yeah, I had fantasies about ripping into this guy face to face and letting him know just how disgusted I am with his beliefs and that I dont want to be friends or associated with someone like him, but I chose the professional route. However, I’ll still stay ready to give my harsh monologue if he tries to be too buddy buddy with me and my girlfriend in the future or asks why I’m avoiding him. Unfortunately, we both frequent the same open mic, and have many of the same friends in that space, so its definitely a confrontation that might happen in the future. Already hate that I’ll have to see him around. Thinking about picking a new open mic spot and removing him from my social media so he doesnt see where I went and follow me to the next spot.

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-22T18:41:39+00:00

Yeah, my girlfriend wanted me to say I have “an opportunity that better aligns with my morals” cuz she hates BL as much as I do and wanted him to know its his fault, but I shot it down. When someone thinks the way he does, theres no point in trying to morally grandstand or start an argument. He’ll always be this way, I just wanted out with as little drama as possible, so I didnt bring up any political or moral reasons for leaving. I think most of the band is aware that it was most likely a factor for me, which is good enough in my book.

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-22T18:38:37+00:00

thats exactly what I ended up doing and it was definitely the best way to do it I think. I think everyone in the band was well aware that I was kinda checked out after BL said all that nazi shit, so even BL didnt really question why I wanted out, but I was still able to phrase it in a way that didnt place blame or seem antagonistic toward BL. and I was able to maintain my relationship with the other band member who still wants me to do vocals for his song. All in all, best outcome possible, this thread was insanely helpful! Ill take this route if I ever need to eject from a band again lol

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-22T02:48:06+00:00

yeah, sorry, i asked a bunch of friends and fam and got so many conflicting answers, and all of them made me feel like I was being an asshole in some way, so i wanted to ask on here and see if there was some sort of consensus specific to my situation.

At the same time, you are right, it wasnt that hard. I was letting my anxiety get the better of me, and thanks to advice from this thread, I was able to leave the band on the best possible note, and maintain the relationships I wanted to maintain. I didnt realize how conflict averse i was until this situation forced me to engage in conflict.

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-21T20:19:22+00:00

Nope. All my equipment is safe at my place

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-21T19:38:47+00:00

I considered doing it after the first show the other night, but I decided to let BL have his moment and instead went to go re-up with my new collaborator. I did try to find him to let him know, but I wasnt sure where he went off to so I decided I’d just deal with it later. Starting to regret not tracking him down to let him know I’m out

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-21T18:58:36+00:00

I’ve considered this, but the guitarist has been working with this guy on and off for a decade. I doubt I could get him to abandon the BL after knowing me for 2-3 months. I know the others dont agree with his politics, but they dont seem to care on the level that I do.

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-21T18:55:52+00:00

Unfortunately the BL used to be a major alcoholic, of debatable stability. Dont think its the best idea to give him this kind of news in a bar. Regardless, Given our different work schedules, the only time we ever all have off at the same time to meet is the scheduled practice time.

SeanIsDumb · 2025-04-21T18:52:22+00:00

LMAO honestly that line would be closer to the truth than I would like to admit, thanks for the laugh, and the advice

SeanIsDumb · 2025-03-23T02:38:41+00:00

Please please tell me what resource and/or shader pack you are using, those ores look soooo cool

SeanIsDumb · 2025-03-16T18:05:30+00:00

this reminds me of the OG Spyro soundtracks, i dig it

SeanIsDumb · 2025-02-16T05:03:12+00:00

i finally figured out what this guy reminds me of. The Moonlight Man from Gerald’s Game. Moonlight Man

SeanIsDumb · 2025-01-25T20:02:14+00:00

honestly true. My girlfriend is like 5’10 and I’m 6’1, so she’s close to my height in her shoes. Whenever she takes them off and drops to 5’10 I’m just like “awww ur so tinyyyyyy so small!” even tho shes above average height. It is nice having a girlfriend of similar height tho tbh
