Just posting the refinements. And summarizing some details:
- ITB native on Logic
- I used all tracks
- Drum kick kept some transient edge (SSL channel strip)
- Drum HH and snare came nearly as they are (SSL channel strip)
- Drum overheads: (SSL channel strip) gated with automation to open the gate on crashes. Gating shouldn't be noticeable any more
- Drum toms: (SSL channel strip) with some gating
- Drums all: slightly plate reverberd (but no HH and overheads)
- Drums all: a touch of NY style slam (CLA 76)
- Bass: was difficult. I sacrificed all high freqs, getting a near-sine wave with smooth transients
- Violin and Dobro with Waves Kramer HLS (that's an Helios emu I know nothing about but sounded good), and Puig compression
- Dobro has some roto emu (Logic standard plugin) and added a de-esser to smoothen high freqs
- Piano with SSL strip, compression, Aphex exciter and some reverb send.
- All audio channels are Waves NLS summed with Neve settings
- Mastering multipressor and limiter (Waves L3 Multimaximizer). With Slate FGX I didn't like at all the mastering limiting result.
Questions to the community:
- a de-esser to smoothen Dobro. Was it a viable solution?
- How are the rendered sounds? (violin, dobro, piano)
- How would the drum snare be improved?
- Are there still evident phasing problems?
- How's the stero image? How could it be improved?
humbly said and thanks for your attention
