Snare Ghost Notes?

[HDWR]

Hey guys! Got a question. When I have ghost notes on the snare it's not working out very well with the comp etc. The ghost notes pop out too much. I've tried quite a few different settings but none seem to work.

What do you normally do? Split the snare track out and only have the ghost notes their own track for a different treatment?

Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated!

This is what I did some time ago with a rim click in the snare track. I only hope you don't have tom much cutting to do to seperate both tracks...

I would keep ghost notes on their own track. Not only can you control the eq/comp differently, but you might actually want to change the volume of the top vs bottom mics depending on the sound you want for the ghost notes.

Usually I program them into the drum track. Then Ill take all the snare hits, put them into their own piano roll track, then erase( by area selector) the snares I dont need. Then insert a snare sample at an appropriate velocity,
and viola! Eq, pan, volumize as needed. Velocities make a big difference if you use multisample I guess.

Thanks for the answers. Having the ghosts on the snare track was just not working at all. I def do want the ghosts to be eq'd differently. They need more resonant head for a fuller sound compared to all that crack on rim shit!

Try just setting the gate so that the closemic doesnt pick up ghost notes, only the OHs do.

That's great advice. Thanks.
