Help me with editing cymbals/overheads.

[Ice Man]

Hey, all. All right, well I've gotten into drum slicing and editing for timing, but given that re-recording a whole take that has mis-hit cymbals matching the mis-hit drums is not an option, how would I go about editing them for time? Would I splice in new samples? And if so, would I duck out the overheads for the bad hit and the new hit, or what? Thanks for any insight!

Regards,
Dan

Well, that would be great, but that's not the point. I want to learn the editing process, not side-skirt around it and remain ignorant to it. I'd like to have the knowledge in case things come up in the future, y'know?

Totally... sounds like you have the right idea... as far as putting them in and ducking out the old...

I've always wondered about that since the cymbals resonate alot. wouldn't the tails be kinda twisted? also, never got this with OH and replacing the last toms on a roll. enlighten me
