am I using SSL channel correctly on Snare??

[ApolloSpeed]

Here is a clip of my settings when I'm using 100% natural Snare.....no samples. Am I doing right here??:zombie:

i would crank up 200hz like crazy and probably go with a higher ratio on the comp. although of coarse i can't hear the snare you are working with.

 

[KeithRT99]

does it sound good?

 

[LSD-Studio]

depends on the source...
although I often prefer Bell instead of shelf on the higher bands....doesn't boost hihat bleed as much

 

[sincethefailing]

do what joeymusicguy does...

8k - 9db boost
200hz - 9db boost

threshold 20
ratio 4:1
release - 0
Fast attack OFF

sounds pretty rockin' dude. maybe add a bit of 200hz, but that's just me.

Sounds good to me, but I'm a mega newb!

Do you guys refer to any EQ guides when mixing? Or is everything trial and error until you find your niche? I know of the EQ guide on here, I'm just wondering if there is anything better out there.

Eq guides can only be a rough outline of where everything sits in the spectrum of sound we hear. Everything in the signal chain will shift this around a bit. I rely on my ears before a graphic representation of an eq curve or an eq guide based on someone else's raw tracks.
