Toms are probably the best use for this kind of compression. Of course this greatly depends on the source.īut you will probably boost the higher frequencies for attack, and that´s when bleed reduction becomes important.Ĭompression is done via tape and preamp as well, driving them hard enough to be just below audible distortion. Sounds more natural and "cuts" a bit better. I prefer not to do that, sometimes doing a small cut only. Many people do a rather large mid-cut on toms for rock and heavy mixes. Doing it another way is a lot more time-consuming, though absolutely worth it. Drumagog, from Wavemachine Labs, is often referred to as the industry standard when it comes to drum replacement. I´m not fond of bleed reduction plugins like DeBleeder, Tominator and whatever else there is. It has a side-chain input and high-pass, low-pass and parametric filters (shared by the two.
It allows the sustain to breathe while keeping the attack short to kill the cymbal bleed entering through the close mics on a drum set (hence the name). Using gates, it will sound like ass, so I use different methods. Here’s a table with the 5 Gate plugins that I think are the best: 5 Best Free Gate VST Plugins. Even with mics and positioning that keeps bleeding low, it still won´t be low enough for my taste (even though i like what it does to a mix). Sounds were recorded & collected during 10 years in different places. Different drums & drum boxes & effects were used to create this instrument. While it can be used anywhere (I implore you to explore), when it comes to mixing drums, I’ve found that multiband processing can be particularly useful. Crash VSTi features 300 crash & cymbal sounds from various studios. Multiband compression, while scary, can be a true secret weapon in mixing.
De-ess Standard + Advanced Only The De-ess audio plug-in and module in iZotope RX attenuates or reduces sibilance, the harsh high-frequency sounds that come from S, F, X, SH, and a soft C. The first hurdle is to do good pre-processing. A multi-band dynamics processor can be used for taming low end imbalances, cymbal harshness, and potentially, bleed. De-bleed can help reduce or eliminate bleed from headphones, click tracks, multiple mics with small amounts of cross bleed, and even some drum bleed issues. I want them to be loud and powerful enough to carry a drum beat, and to be a strong accent when used as one. I think toms are the most difficult thing to integrate in a rock mix.
