I got Slate drums recently and i love it, but i know the snare tone could be better. To me it sounds like there is too much bottomhead/snare wire and i dont know how to fix it, ive tryed other snares but keep going back to the same ones (Snare13a, Tommy snare).
Right now im just eqing it alittle, boosting around 200 and scooping some 1000 from it.
My drum bus has a multicompressor and voxengo elephant limiter set in clip top.
Then my master chain has Ozone4, and Voxengo Elephant
Everytime i try and compress it alittle i end up losing the main attack and it just sits under the mix.
Can anyone help me out, tell me what else i should try?
Heres an example, did it twice with two different snares.
