[ApolloSpeed]

Now, if I want to fix a section of kick drums,

But.......if you replace and correct the kix why record a full powerd kick?
Take pads or dampen it, no wooden beater. etc.
And mikes make a great diffference! I used 414's but now the CK1's again, less snare and kicks in the heads. (If thats the goal of course)

I'v once recorded the cymbals seperate from the rest, it sucked!!
Not the sound, but is sounded like it was recorded, seperated.
I like to have te insanity of a sweating drummer.

The blanket thing is a tunnel 3feet for the kick with a mike close to the skin an a second in the tunnel.
Is there someone on this forum who records real drums?

Yep, although sometimes I wish for the convenience of samples. Tuning, placement, trying to educate the drummer on the intricate meaning of the word 'tight' is sometimes overbearing.

I battle with the kick bleed all the time. The kick and snare sound good when soloed. When you bring your overheads up, the kick sound like shit. I have the HPF on the OH mics, and a gate on the snare now. I'm gonna try the blanket deal. I tried my AT4050 as a FOK last time, and was blown the fuck away when I soloed it! It was fucked though, when I brought up the kick mic in the drum, and the FOK, it was like a fuckin phase cancellation deal, and the kick disappeared! I wound up ditching the FOK for that project. The blanket though, Youza!

... i'd love to have the chance of mixing a real miced up kit, but at the moment all i have the chance to mix is a dfhs drumkit.

download the drum stems from the "Mixing Challenge" thread

try sliding the tracks and/or inverting to fix the phase issues.

basically the overheads see a negative pressure first and the kick mic (if inside) sees a positive pressure first. one of them should be inverted. also, the kick mic is very close and the overheads are a long ways away, move the tracks if needed.

Once again I say tuck with a limiter. This is something andy suggested that I do with a snare I wanted to get rid of in my OH's. Works great in my situation.

However, he suggested this for the snare. If the kick is loud in the oh to the point it cause problems (even with an hi-pass filter) ,then the tracks are probably fucked up. Back to rec.
I'd be interested in hearing those oh tracks. Just curious.

I am not saying it will work I am saying to just try it. It seems to work on most situations that I have tried it in. Needless to say that has only been twice.
