Hey guys i'm doing a mix for a band and can't really decide which snares I like and which sounds better. All of them sound good in the mix its just a matter of which one to use. Any feedback would be awesome thanks! also i tracked these drums on an electronic kit running via midi with live cymbals.
EDIT* heres the snare tests with guitars. (guitars are reamped but its rough because it was the reamp test right before a couple preamp tubes went bad, i didnt get a good mic placement, and the tubes are not arriving for a week so I thought id post it anyways.)
SD snare only with guitars
