giubis, I always try to get as much bleed from my snare into my OHs as possible. Like I mentioned, a good portion of my snare tone comes from the overheads.
Thanks Allan, I believe it's an Evans G1... or maybe it was a G2. I really like that head on my Porkpie snare (it's the Big Black Brass model, ie, Black Beauty knock-off)
Yeah, like Sig said; lots of careful slip editing in Reaper. I never have problems with phase on my kicks because I'm waaaaaaay anal about my quantizing, and I edit/trim my kick samples the same way as I quantize, so they always line up perfectly.... or did you mean something else?
