every snare i record goes through the same thing, because im cool like that
SSL E-Channel
TOP SNARE
threshold : -20 db
attack (leave fast attack off)
release : .100
ratio : 3 or 4
+9db at 8 no bell
+9db at 200 no bell
use expander to cut a little ambience if you need to, gate if its a live kit
BOTTOM SNARE
turn this one up 6 decibels LOUDER than the top snare
threshold: 0
attack (fast attack on!)
release: .100
ratio: 8:1
+3 at 8 no bell (bell if you want a rock sound)
+6 at 200 no bell
then just use Q1 mono on each track to cut the particular head's "ring
tone", a Q of 50 or 100 will do it, -18db of cut wherever the ring is
(there might be many, find the one that sticks out in the track while its
left flat eq, find it, and cut it)
i usually use RVERB for drum verb, but i've been toying with plate 140
from UAD to save my cpu's ass
the RVERB gives the snare body in the mix, because it produces a wide tail
the UAD can do the same, and it will be wider, but you'll need to know how
to compress the reverb so it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb
this is just what i do to my actual snare tracks, much of the snare sound
comes from the room mic's, and the agressive compression applied to them
p.s.
a trick for kick drums that dont pack enough low end punch
waves transx multi mono
load that on a kick track, load the preset "bass amp"
change the first gain to 6, the second to -6, the third to -6, and leave the 4th alone
dont adjust volume or total make up gain or you'll lose your power
pump that sucker into your master bus compressor for thump
