Focus on achieving a balanced and dynamic sounding drum kit with Lee Fields. Discover methods for setting individual drum levels, and integrate them into a cohesive mix. Learn how to make critical adjustments to enhance the overall sound of the kit. This includes using DCAs and verb settings.
Key Points:
- To establish a balanced drum mix, begin by lowering all faders. This removes any existing drum mix and provides a clean slate to work from.
- Ergonomics play a crucial role in mixing. Comfortable fader positions are important for efficient mixing.
- A novel approach involves setting the overall volume of the drum kit using the toms. Ensure they are not overpowered by louder instruments like the kick and snare.
- Use DCAs or groups to set the toms at a zero level. Then, build the levels of other drums around this baseline.
- Adjust the kick drum's level first. Then blend the snare drum's top and bottom microphones.
- The overhead microphones are crucial for creating the overall picture of the kit. They need delicate adjustments to ensure a cohesive sound.
- Carefully feather drum verbs into the mix. Adjust for each drum individually and then as a collective.
- The verb settings for each drum may vary, requiring individual attention to achieve the desired sound.
