Thanks for the comment, man. I have been trying, as you know. I am sure you know this already but the learning process doesn't allow us, or at least me, to move forward w/o some looking backward. I have been going back to the editing stage, trying to line things up the way they should be as far as timing and phasing are concerned. I learned a couple things I did wrong, so I post it here just in case someone find it useful. Nobody warned me about it so I wasted a lot of time finding it out on my own. No need for anyone else to go thru that.
I found this out working on another song, not on this song but it's next.
I used to line up the top snare and bottom snare and flipped the polarity if they looked like they needed it, and when I did it didn't matter which one I flipped. Big mistake. I didn't follow the phase of the OH. I found out that was the reason why it was so hard for me to work on the drums/bass. Today I tried to line them up again and investigate. I found that if I lined the snares (top/bottom) up and then flipped only the one that went out of phase with the OH to make it in phase, the whole drum kit sounded thicker, beefier, and more defined. It makes perfect sense to me and I understand the reason, but I'll be happy to hear if you or someone thinks otherwise. That also saves me some time. Thanks.
