If there is one thing i have noticed from Andy's mixes and some other big names out there, is that they have the kick and snare done really well.. upfront, instead of the kick and drum stting in the mix completely.
It's almost if they are seperated from the mix, how do you do this?
I always end up with drums drowning in the mix a bit.. with the OH's and toms, i find this to be perfectly okay.. but i would like to try and get them more in your face as well.
What i do now is sample the kick and snare, EQ and compression offcourse, then i send it to a seperate drumgroup track where a nice reverb and compression is waiting for the kick and the snare.
Reverb is there for more wideness of the snare mostly, but it certainly does not push the drums in front of the mix.
Gimme secrets!!
