This FREE Drum MIXING TECHNIQUE is just AMAZING

This is awesome...thanks alot

juste un commentaire si quelque chose est atif sur channel Stripe ...l'inversion de polarité ne fonctionne pas . alors il faut s'assurer que channel stripe n'est pas actif.

I am watching this for the second time

do you have any videos on doing this with a vst with cubase. I record vdrums thru addictive drums 2 and i need change it from midi notes to audio for all the tracks then somehow put all 4 toms in one track. or is that was group does? thanks for any answers

Great tip! When EQ'ing and processing the snare further, you would then do that on the 'SN Gated' group to retain phase cancellation etc?

thats a Manny trick. gotta give credit where its due.

absolutely cool idea!, Never ever thought about it!

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

How can ı this tecnique on Logix ?

Hi intrested in mixing an album with you guys. Can you send me info please

Great technique guys! And a cool addition Chris. Thank you. Cheers Dave

Awesome!!!! Game changer💯

Sir can you mix my track ??

What ???? Wonderful trick. And very useful for other tasks. Thank you so much. Other videos are great too, high end stuff on this channel. It can be general stuff but also very detailed stuff. Very well balanced informations here. Thank you again Chris 👍

This is goldmine knowledge.

Is that a Mojave mic?

BADASS!

This is way outside the box thinking!!
Just amazing!! Thanks for making this video. I love that you focus on Cubase and free plugins. Most of the tips you pass on can be tried right away!!
Your channel is by far the most useful one out there. You don't waste a bunch of time doing gear shootouts, or talking best preamps or mics. It's all about technique, work flow and efficiency in cubase. This technique was really crazy to see!!! Thanks yet again Chris!!!

priceless!

Nice! Can this technique be use for removing noise from a vocal track? (I have USB data noise issue I'm currently frustrated with) Thanks!

Really amazing.

Great video!

I really appreciate.
Thanks in Advance for this This Trick,
the Mixing Snare is my enemy, So now it's Become my Friend.

Thanks for the lesson Chris. Can you use this technique on any tracks with bleed?

Thank you!

Merci! Cette technique va m'aider bcp pour mixer mon drum pour mes drums covers

Can i do it with basedrum and hihat, crash to?

Hi Chris, you just use this technique on live acoustic drums recordings because when I use Groove Agent or another Vst plug-in drums I don’t hear the bleed from other parts of the drums. Is that make sense? You know what mean? Any advice?

Very good trick but sadly i can't find the polarity button, using 10pro

NOW!!! That is GOLD!!! Thank you!!!!

how did you do to mic up? have you direct mic input to your interface? Or rout to your outboard compressor and preamp?

I love the techniq you use... so useful to me..

What kind of drums you used? that snare sound is fat and nice i ever know..

Does your SN gated group track get routed to your DRUM MIX BUS? if so does this mean you dont use your snare group track with the blue colour?

Man!!! This just saved my life as I’m working with church online and tracking my drums with just two mics from home. I could separate a snare from the over head for better mix. You are awesome.

Hi Chris! I have Cubase 10.5. This does not work the same way for me unless I also put a Cubase stock compressor on the first track (the one I duplicate from). With Ratio 8, Threshold 0 and Make Up OFF I still get a small bleed when listening to both tracks (with polarity switched on the duplicated track). As soon as I also put a stock compressor on the first track (with the same settings) it behaves as you show in the video (dead quiet). Any idea as to why this is? In the video it seems you only have a compressor on the duplicated track. Thanks for great videos, I learn a lot!

WOW Chris, merci pour le truc!!!

Hey Chris great video thanks. What interface are you using to record your drums? I am looking for a new one and having a hard time. I need good pres, 12 XLR and great monitoring! That’s an episode or two right there? Monitor mix so important for good takes. Cheers.

You just changed my world... Unlike my previous engineer that chopped up the tracks and butchered the natural sound of the drums.

Awesome technique! Thanks for posting. What hi-hats were used in this session? 😍

If you just pull down the fader of the compressed track it will change the amount of cancellation giving you a bit of track bleed. I never gate the snare more than 15db because I often like a bit of the interaction.
But you might want to try just copying your snare track and letting it side-chain trigger the gate on your main snare track. You could use negative delay to make sure it opens a millisecond or two before the initial hit and even better you can then remove parts of the track to eliminate opening the gate in places you don’t want it to. Equally, you can edit the track triggering the side chain into clips and turn up the level of the clips to influence the threshold of the gate.

That's genius

Helo from india...ive been using Cubase since 2008 yet still learn new thing from this channel....thank you so much...

I'm brand new to DAW, and I'm looking for my own snare's sound. I'm not a fan of compressed drums. There's no resonance, nor does it end up sounding like my snare. Wouldn't micing the kit optimally be best?

Wow! Thanks Chris!! This is a wonderful video!! I appreciate the shout out my friend!!

I like to gate the top using Wilkinson De-Bleeder, but then leave the snare bottom wide open. The rattle it gives and how it picks up a lot of subtleties from the whole kit, makes it a great candidate mic to leave wide open because there is barely any cymbal bleed in it.

Isn’t this the same as using a gate ?

Use with care when having a drum recording with ghost notes as an important part of the performance
