Now that the mix bus is in place, Jacquire turns his attention to the rhythm section to get the perfect tone and balance between the bass guitar and drums.
See how Jacquire King:
- Dials in the Distressor on the bass guitar to control the peaks on the bass guitar
- Shapes the sound going into the Distressor
- Adds a short delay to the bass to spread the image out, giving a tiled room effect
- Adds his drum bus eq with a Neve 1081
- Builds a parallel compression drum bus with a Distressor set to Nuke
- Blends in the Kick Sample
- Auditions an API 550A and SSL E Channel Strip for eq on the snare drum
- Listens to the EQ difference between the SSL E series and G series on snare, then explains his preference
- Adds additional parallel compression paths including a Drum Crush bus and Kick/Snare parallel
- Adjusts tom ringing to be a part of the overall tone of the kit
