So I have recorded a drumtrack and bass track for a song that I am working on. Drums were done with an e-kit into Logic Pro X using Superior Drummer and the EZX Vintage add on kit. I swapped out the hats via XDrum with hats from the Avatar collection.
I feel like I have them close to where I want them by blending the ambient/overhead track with the close mic track on the hats themselves. I am trying to get from this sound to something that is a little brighter….but every time I EQ the higher frequencies, more presence is added to the stick attack on the hats making them sound brash and synthetic. Any suggestions to give me a brighter sound without re-introducing a brashness to the hats would be VERY welcome.
