Children of No One

[pauli]

Thanks everyone for kind words and suggestions. I think in this song it's easy to overdo it on the wideness of the kit as well as on the overheads because there are two room tracks that are reeeeally heavy on cymbals, and I'm never really sure what to do with those... I know a cool trick where you compress the room track to the extreme and fade it into the kit... that's how they got those awesome drums on "when the levee breaks" but that didn't work too well in this scenario. Maybe I should just mute them altogether? That dodges the objectivity issue altogether LOL.

Allen, thanks a bunch for that tip. It's brilliant and I'd never have thought of that... I have a tendency to overcompress on the master but I imagine that technique really reduces the risk of that since the levels will fall into place a lot better
