Please don’t be too hard on me I am a home hobby enthusiast and not a drummer. I fully understand the concept of recording drums using room and OH mics.
But IM having a hard time getting how we apply mixing the drums when everything is heard from the room and OH mics.
I have all these channels in EZ drummer for each drum part and I can route all those channels to separated channels in Sonar Producer.
Now that I have done that lets say that I turn down the snare drum all the way, I can still hear it from the room OH mics. So the volume doesn’t really go down.
If I turn down the room OH mics I lose the room ambience and it sounds like I got it at wall mart.
Another example I have read allot over the years about recording and mixing drums and one concept is to place the hi tome to the right of stereo center, the mid tom
about in stereo center, and the low tom in left of center. Well how is that done when all the parts are heard from the 2 mics that are recording the whole kit
So…. I might sound stupid can one of you that is well experienced at this give me some insight on this?
And how would you setup your channel faders, pan and volume for each drum part in EZ drummer and your sequencer mixer?
I do have an understanding of how drums are played so I have done some pretty good patterns for projects in the past in Sonar in piano roll view and I wrote
a drum map for EZ drummer that I am using.
I thank you for anyone that listens to this
