The last pass got 60 hits from here overnight. I'll start tagging this thread in the notes on SC.

 

Hey Victor
Look good effort but the problem is we lost our way with the mix and have to fix the mess we created. Trying to do what you did is admirable but the correct way is fix the problem by getting the mix right not fixing a messy mix with extra processing.
Hey subGENERE where is my snare wav.

@spencer26 Here's the raw snare recording. I sent it to your email as well.

To download it click the 3 dots on the top right.

 

Try this on the Snare. Try it with and withou the gate

 

Can you upload a drum mix only..
Send me the toms..

 

Ok, heres a render of just the drums.

I mono'ed out the OH's and hihat mic and panned them center.
I also did some eqing on the snare per @Introninja post

Turned down the OHs a few db and rolled the lopass down to 7k

 

Bring the release on the gate up to 29ms

 

Just saw your post. Drums and toms coming your way @spencer26
That render was before I saw your chain...

 

OK That is not the Eq Limiting and Gate above. I think the toms will be ok.
Take out the overheads and get the cymbals of the tom. If you have a hihat mike pull it back. Lets he that..

My keyboard is dying.

 

With the snare eq and compression I am just trying to get some body in the snare. We can then bring some of the original unprocessed snare back on another fader and just add enough to get the Thawck! back.

 

Ok, I used the chain above on my snare buss. Sent some to another channel pre-fx and brought the thwack back in.
Pulled the Hihat back a lot.
re-eqed the toms to get the cymbals back in and lo-passed it at 6k

 

OK Sounding Great. Put the toms in the middle because it unbalances the track.
Remember we have plenty of left and right with the rhythm guitar and backing vocals.
Get rid of the fucking cymbals somehow. Automate them. Eq them, Sit on them, Wrap them with toilet paper, Call them a cab.
Spencer

 

No wait for the rest of the track before you change the snare..

 

Monoed out the toms. and automated the eq to kill the cymbals even more..

Ok Toms are not center. Cymbals are still not right. Don't cancel the Cab yet. The cymbal at 35 sec is at the right level. You really need to concentrate on the automation. Any time they get in the road of the feel pull them back. I am hearing tings on the bell which will really get in the road later. The ones in the section at 2.48 are still to loud.

 

I accidentally posted the wrong link to the 12th pass, got the right one up now

 

With the Bass we want it to sound like its down an octave. Give it the 48hz boost and find the resonace round 100-120hz.
I presume you have the cymbals fixed so add the bass. We know the rhythm guitars sound great. So lets get the bass right. I think we have left the mess behind.

I, I, captain. Swabbing the decks!
