Mixing Live Drums – Using Gates
In part two of the home studio mixing series, I will start working on the drums by adding gates to clean them up and will show you how handle the toms instead of gating them.
Chapters:
00:00 – How the drums were recorded
01:52 – Project setup
03:30 – Gating the kick
06:00 – Gating the snare
08:55 – Kick and snare gated together
10:00 – Gorilla toms technique
13:55 – Panning the overheads
In this series you will learn how to use Reaper to:
- Apply gates, compressors, EQ, verbs and delays using their stock plugins
- Mix live drums, bass, guitars and vocals
- Get the final mix ready for the mastering phase
