Logic Tutorial 05 - Mixing Drums P2

This is the 2nd part of my tutorial series on mixing drums. Today I'm going to cover how to compress, gate and other effects on to drum tracks. The plugin I'm using is called EZDrummer by Toontrrack. You could just as easily use real mics or ultrabeat or a similair one. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, the next one will hopefully be on ultrabeat.

you said something about a quick compression tip? wheres that at? and i noticed every time you do clean rms, and you also turn your threshold up and gain up to where they fill/are on the grid in the graph. can you explain that?

you really dont have to go through that much trouble just to get that sound. if you take 2 ezdrum tracks. on one of them turn the overhead and the room down MOST of the way. on the second leave it wet. record with both tracks enabled. the track with the OH and room turned down gives the attack and the second keeps the decay. so you get a nice even studio drum sound.
