Cactus Music
As always the playing is over the top! Ya, that snare?? It comes across maybe just a tad to tight, as in tuned up tight, which I actually like most of the time but somehow it's just not sitting there right, not in your face, it's in the back. But I'm just using computer speakers in my office which suck but they do tell the truth to a point cause I listen to them a lot just MP3 stuff.
hey cactus!
the snare is what it is, the drummer chose that drum and head and tuning based on his choice,
so i'll have to work with it......
so,
eq on snare, check!!
compression, check.
possibly some room treatment....
just last night,
i applied the finishing touches to the snare,
compression and eq, as well as level.
i had tried running all the drums thru parallel compression,
and even tho i could hear the effect well,
and dial it in at any level via sends,
it just felt....... clownphucked.
so i got rid of that buss,
all the sends,
and instantly it was better, albeit a bit plain.
i'm still on the fence with just how much room reverb to put on it,
the original track is bone dry.
it almost sounds better with a delay on it, instead of verb.
