There has to be a way...

I use Nasty VCS in this case, dunno but it notches out the annoying fizzyness with a little tweaking pretty good.
Also nice to notch some more snare after the highpass Eq. And to add a little shine with the "air" poti.

But yeah, nothing more than damage control.

notch EQ is your BEST friend.

dupe the OH tracks and LP/HP and compress them 1176 style and from there send them full on to a room type reverb, get a real nice authentic room sound going, BIG room..... like abbey road big. .. put an EQ after reverb with a sweet sounding high end to bring some highs up on this pseudo ROOM track.... THEN crush the result with something like The Rocket by Stillwell...... see how much high-shelf you can get away with by pushing it into the EQ....
NOW.... blend that in with your OH tracks that are nice and notched....

it'll help mask and glue very sterile or bad sounding OH tracks...

you may be able to even get away with a litle high shelf on the OH track after blending the two...

^ oh boy!!! that was awesome...

i wish you would have told me that before. i kind of had to turn in this project a couple of days ago. But im gonna keep that in mind for future crapy recorded cymbals.

I really hope more people read your advice. It was really helpful man. Thanx

if you live near a guitar center you can do it joey style, go buy some good cymbals with a "performance guarantee" warranty, track the session, then return them =]

edit: after taking samples of them as well, ofcourse.
