Problems with snare

[M.Lehto]

I need advices from you guys.

I got the drumtracks from the sessiondrummer and the problem is, that since the hits are in different velocitys, some of them (weakest) gets lost in the whole mixdown. I'm very bad at this, but I guess I should use compressor for them?

Also other advises about mixing the drums would be great.

Thanks in advance.

You can make a duplicate track of the snare and use a trigger plugin to have a constant volume for the snare. Blend the two tracks 50-50 and you'll bring out the snare without losing too much of the drummer's feel.

Not just yet exactly, but I have noticed that everyone who speaks English as a second ( or even third language ) always says "advices" or in your case "advises".

Just say, "do you have any advice". You dont have to pluralize, or make it like you are asking for more than one advice, which would be advices *which is not an english word*

Just say.. " thanks for the advice ". Or "seeking advice".

I am learning Japanese, with Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji, so I know where you are coming from. Just that I see it so often, the word "advices".

My ramble is now over.. time for study and then sleep.

^also, if you only want one advice and not more advices , you can say "a piece of advice"

btw english is my 2nd language, so 'everyone' is inaccurate
