Enjoyed your drum compression video. I'm working on my own original music and I'm trying not to get too much into the technical part of recording but find that it's something that I can't avoid. This was very helpful as I was wondering how to get more volume without using the volume and get great tone. This answered both of those issues. Thanks again. I'm also going to check out that vocal EQ pack you have. That's another area that I need to improve in and I think it would help me greatly. Keep doing what you do.
Hey! Typically I would do this after the snare and individual drums are all mixed. I try to get the drums to sound as best as I possible can, and then do this parallel technique. Hope that helps!
Wow, thanks for the tip. Drums sounds awesome! Question: should the original track be compressed or no? ( I have trouble understanding compression) I will upload my results on my next cover song which will be « Don’t cry- Guns and Roses » . If you have a chance, maybe you could check it out . Thanks 😊
Hi! I'm sorry, but I can't understand one thing: apart from what you are doing within garageband, were the tracks of the various drum parts previously mixed in another DAW and then imported into garageband as single tracks? the sound I hear, as you said, is already mixed and well balanced. Thank you.
Hey! The tracks were previously mixed in a full project in GarageBand. I exported those separately so that only the drums were featured for this video. The trick to get your parallel drum compression to sound good, is to make sure the drums are mixed as best as possible first. Then you export the full drum sound to get the best parallel effect. Hope this helps!
when that snare spank kicks in sounds so great in my headphones. intro sounds a little iron maiden ish
Fantastic tip. Gonna try this on my next recording

fantastic workflow, going to try this in my next recording 🤘
So glad you liked it! Let me know if you have any questions
Exactly what I needed, thanks !
Simple and very useful. Thanks!👍
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
This drum beat reminded me of the son “puerco” by 8kalacas. Skacore
Great tutorial!
Hello, when you do this, do you put compression on kick, snare..individually or do you let them dry ? Thanks

@@CellarDoorSound yes indeed! Thank you! 🙏🏻
So, the individual tracks have already been eq'd, prior to export, correct?
Yep that is exactly right!
@@CellarDoorSound Thank you!
Holy Batman very good.
Hahaha I am so glad you enjoyed it!
