Hey guys,
I've just been offered the job of mixing a local band's demo - it's a home recording so it's probably going to be an uphill struggle, but anyways...
My biggest issue is that the drums were only recorded with two mics - I would guess they were set up like overheads, but I don't know for sure yet. So I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions on how I should handle them and what I can actually do to them. They aren't very metal (though they have their moments), so things like the a clicky bass drum aren't important. Are there any tricks to getting the drums to sit well in the mix? And how about fitting the bass guitar and vocals over it, is it any different to normal?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Steve
