I always track a kick and snare trigger.
People are fk'n lazy and want to be rock-stars.
That genre is flooded with mediocrity and lazy drummers. Who have a tendency to over play.
I always come prepared.
The GateComp is designed for electric guitar... i.e., the gate is more like an expander than a gate (like the BOSS Noise Suppressor pedal), and the compressor is more like a sustainer (like the BOSS Sustainer pedal). It is VERY good! But, I find it works best on guitar and bass. Of course, that is not to say it couldn't work well on other things in certain situations.lux said:Give the little UAD compressor gate a try it is very tight and punchy

Im well aware its original purpose was for guitar but it works great on kiks and snares and also for smashing room mics.
Out of curiosity, what ratio do you all define as "limiting" anyway?imdrecordings said:Very funny.... ha ha
FYI 12 or 20
It's just a term I've used when using the 1176 over 8:1. Don't know that I've ever applied that term to any other compressor/limiter. Habit.saemskin said:Out of curiosity, what ratio do you all define as "limiting" anyway?imdrecordings said:Very funny.... ha ha

Why?
For consistansy... compression can't really help you, and neither can limiting... because the harder the drummer hits the kick drum the snappier it gets, so no matter how much you compress it the louder hits will still pop threw the mix more... unless you smash it into complete distorted mush with a limiter (and then the kick won't have ANY life left to it).eoj said:Wow! you peeps are crazy.... but yeah of course sound replace or trig that shit. I was trying to keep it as natural as possible. I do use Drumagog at about 50% just for consistency. On another note is the over all consensus that limiting is better than compressing for Kick consistency?
Oh And thanks.... I think.
