Default Another Drum Track Needing Helpful Guidance.

Hi I have another track in which I tinkered around with eq levels and would appreciate any advice on how to achieve a fuller sound out of this computer-generated arrangement of .wav sounds substituting the drummer/expensive studio I hope on day to live in .

I would use a plug in in Audacity called "Dj Eq" which allows me to change the low, mid and high frequencies up or down.

Quote:
Please be aware I'm doing all of this exclusively by ear, I'm not sure about what to do except the following,
Bass Drum: Lower the high eq a lot, keep the mid pretty prevalent and low reasonably high.

Toms: Somilar to the Bass Drum but more high eq and less low eq.

Snare: keep the high eq and the mid fairly high, lower the low mid a bit.

Hi Hats (open and closed): Take the mids out a lot, keep the high eq high and the low eq low.

Cymbals: Similar to the Hi Hats except a bit more mid in to distinguish.

This song is very old so ignore the badly synced hi hat's, bad snare rolls and the odd off-beat of a tom here or there, just looking for quality sound .

NOTE: Should you all give me some excellent advice I'll upload the piano track that acompanies it afterwards to get further pointers on eq'ing and mixing it, hopefully achieving some excellent music.

Default Re: Another Drum Track Needing Helpful Guidance.

Ok I've worked on this old version a bit more and would love to hear any comments on the improvement (should there be any ).

NOTE: This is still the old track but if I'm able to make lead come pretty close to gold then when I use my newly found tools to actually produce gold it certainly wont turn into lead.


(i.e. when I use my new programs with better sounds they will be better than these old samples, but I'd like to learn how to mix these old tracks properly)
