I have been conscripted to "salvage" a project that was poorly recorded, edited , and mixed.
It's fun.
I am retracking all the drums....what I have found is...if the overheads are moved back in time, they sync up up nicely with the snare and tom hits.
The producer wants the toms close miced....what for?...if the drummer knows how to lay back on the brass the overheads should get the job done.
So....the strike tone on the tom mics works but sounds kind of brittle.
My solution is to low pass the toms at roughly 200 Hz and let the overheads take care of the rest.
I high pass the overheads at roughly 200 Hz.
Still snooping around to see if I can improve things, but....again....it's fun.
Hope you don't think I am going covid crazy.
cheers
