They may not consider it a bug, but I would. A real drum set would not behave that way in a room. if you put moongel on a drum head, the room doesn’t suddenly become less live. you would still hear the room’s reaction to the drum, there’s just less tail for the room to use. the initial transient would still take time to decay in the room. It shouldn’t take so many steps to make it sound natural.

So inverting phase on the OVH bleed mics shouldn’t give me phase cancellation one way or the other?

 

The kit I’ve made is an amalgam of several kits. I didn’t really like any of the default kits. I’m using some Pearl kicks, Tama  and Gretsch snares and Ludwig toms.

 

Basically what I want to do is control SD3 the same way I’d control live drum takes. Or as close to as I can  get. I’m just trying to get everything in phase. I usually get my OVH’s sounding great  and then add in my close mics. Obviously, these aren’t live drum takes so there will be some tradeoffs, but I’m just trying to get as close as I can.

 

So my OVH channels (on the channel strips) have phase inversion buttons. That’s the button I should be using to get my OVH’s in phase with each  other? Once they’re in phase with each  other, I just bring in my samples and check phase against my OVH’s one at a time? That’s how I would assume it would work, but the OVH’s having bleed phase buttons confuses me. If reversing phase on the bleed tracks doesn’t do anything, why would they add them in?
