toms resonance

[ManegarM]

how i can get less toms resonance and more hits definition? some tipe of comp and eq?

thanks

 

[ahjteam]

cut lows, boost mids and highs

 

[ManegarM]

in what freqs?

depends on the size of the drum and the tuning. cut from where it sounds bad and boost where it sounds good. seems quite logical, eh?

 

[ManegarM]

true, ok i will try , thanks

It's really a trial and error thing, there is no one way to do it. And it's never the same thing twice

Lotsa fun huh?

tune well the toms first

Less resonance... more attack... sounds like something Dominion would be helpful for

Play with your comp attack time so that the transient gets through and the resonance gets pushed way down. Gating can help too even if you are only gating by 3-10dB.

+1

And also I'd try out some damping rings (right term?).

 

[Aaron Smith]

I tend to like the sound of toms when the bottom head is tuned a half step or so lower than the top head... It kind of creates a downward-pitched "boom" that sounds nice and thick, and it doesn't resonate quite as much as when the pitch stays the same.

Tuning is key

 

[ManegarM]

the tune its fine. i will post a sound sample of the toms better.

thnks

I really like evans E-Rings on toms. For less dampening theres an old trick: cotton balls inside the tom, they reduce the ring without changing the timbre.

Since it's too late for that.
Stillwell Transient Monster. Turn the sustain down

Honestly, I'd just fade that shit out, or use a gate if I'm feeling lazy. Total control of the sustain. I'd EQ or compress a bit like a snare to get more attack.

I've said it before, but Dominion is the tits, and being free everyone neeeeds to get it.
