PBLOXAM You're UP!
LOL
hey, thanks for listening....
i'll tell you, in MY monitors, there's tons of depth to the drums..
they don't stand out and hit you over the head like typical modern 2007 recordings....
i was going for something with more dynamics, something that was more engaging to the ear...
but, i've missed the mark before, it's possible i've done that here as well.....
there's very little compression on any of the drums.... i might have mixed them down to a stereo pair, and put a multiband across the sub mix, i can't remember now.
it'd be worth the experiment, to go back and mix them hotter, and without any compression, just to see how they sit.
i didn't get to record the drums, they were done at another studio, so the individual tracks i don't have any control over...
i did place an ambient reverb over the whole kit....
it sounded too fake, with only reverb on the snare....
made it sound like the drum set was in one room, and the snare was in another!
LOL
but, drums are key in this song, i gotta try to get em dialed in!
thanks for the suggestions!
