after following the 'hi-hats too loud in the OHs' thread for the last few days, i thought it would be nice to finally answer a question i've had for awhile.
i really have a hard time mixing my hats (from my OHs) so they sit well in the drum mix - and mix as a whole.
generally speaking - how do most people EQ hats when they are coming from the OHs? i'm specifically interested in hearing about the upper frequencies.
i know most the meat/clang is down around 300hz - but what about the upper freq's? which ones are generally regarded as taboo and should really be cut/rolled off to avoid 'ear strain'? is there a good balance, EQ-wise, when both the hat and cymbals are solely coming from the OHs?
thanks in advance.
