My percussion secrets

My secret is simple, try to not use 1 hits. Understand that drummers never hit exactly the same way and alter your one hits in volume and frequencies. Or, figure out which drums you like and search...

Julian Fosk Track critique

In this video I go over Julian's track. It is a wonderful piece and nothing much needs to be adjusted. I also give a general tip on reverb and the loss of "edge" when it's put directly on a lead. View Post

It's very nice to have in a non professional studio (bedroom or DIY. setup) but the main issue remains with the LR differences and no control. I would personally go with REW and mini dsp or REW and...
