Finishing and Polishing Full Drums
Ok so I've got a full track in synth drums, have tweaked each individual drum with PX64, gotten them how I like them, and routed them all to a drum bus.
Now what's the next step for polishing the overall kit to give it as good and realistic a sound as possible?
In the CakeTV video, Seth recommends applying some bus compression. But is this a regular application? What exactly is the purpose of bus compression for a drum kit?
Or should I apply some light reverb to make the kit sound more unified?
What about the new Pro Channel?
Any advice from experienced hands would be much appreciated :) Thanks.
BTW, for reference of the type of sound I am going for, see such bands as Chimaira, DevilDriver, Pantera, etc.
