Aug 29, 2007 08:01 am Start layering in the other instruments / vox. They will tell you what to do to the drums.
Aug 29, 2007 08:12 am compress the kick to boost it a bit if it need boosting...
Is each drum on an individual track? How'd you mic and record it?

the drums are mixed out of the computer, its on an roland electric kit dont no which but its £1000 worth so its good, and sounds great recorded,

Aug 29, 2007 02:02 pm I assume they are on one channel beings they are digital, you have the option of compressing the whole kit (just a tad) for a bit of warmth and then use a bit of reverb using a drum plate. Should help them sound as if you watching a drummer play vs. resting your head on the snare while it's being hit. Ya know, set em back a bit.

Aug 29, 2007 02:47 pm Just saw a warmer on another site (guess which one)

Look for Ferox. It's a tape saturater, warmer type thing.
There's other warmers as well. Magneto, PSP Vintage Warmer, Voxengo Warmifier (i think).
There's also Ruby Tube, which models the tube warmth effect (haven't tried it).
