Drum Bus Mixing issue Help from skilled guys ! ;)
« on: May 17, 2016, 07:47:46 pm »
Hi Guys ! So here is the deal :

- I Have a Snare drum with 3 layers that i group and compress together ,
   then i  send this Main Snare in a Drum Bus with a kick drum , both a re-compressed with The Glue , the kick is reduced by 5db
 but the snare is not hitting the drum bus compressor , but is hitting 12 db reduction on the master limiter , which is an L2. I want kick & snare to hit equaly drum bus compressors and master limiter . i try to eq , saturate the snare and the different layers in every way i knew to make it happen but i couldn't get this result ...

Why the snare doesn't hit the drum bus compressor , but has 12 db reduction on the L2 ? i know it's a transient issue because bottom tone of my snare is very high like 700hz, but when shape transients heavily i have the same issue .. i want to find a way to make the bus compressor reduce the same amount on kick and snare anyway , so if you know how to do this please tell me , thank you very much et sorry for my bad english i'm french !  :)

can't you just turn the kick down & bring the threshold down on the drum bus compressor? it might not sound good because i don't know what your kick & snare sound like but that's how you'd get the compressor to squash them equally. then you'd adjust the master limiter or the gain on the drum bus compressor to get 12db reduction again
