Hey guys, was just wondering how many of you print your triggered/ sample replaced/eq'd/compressed drum tracks before continuing with tracking the rest of the instruments?
I have read a few posts where people say they do this but it left me confused. At first I thought it meant you get the drum sound you are happy with, then print the entire thing as a stereo .wav so you can remove the old seperate tracks and plugins to save CPU for the rest of tracking. Then you continue on with set drums that remain unable to be changed throughout the rest of the recording. Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm sure this musn't be the case?
Lately I realised you must print each track individually, for example the snare sound with samples, eq's and plugins... then delete the inital recorded snare and so on with all the other drums... This way you can go on without having any plugins on the tracks, but can still re sample the snare, toms and kick at a later date if you need to.
Can someone please help me clear this up? I feel like I could be missing a good technique for drum recording...
Thanks
