It worked out OK, although there remains a slight imbalance with certain instruments, to my ear.
OK, I think I've noticed this, too (I'm trying to remember where ... perhaps on some of the toms? and maybe one of the cymbals?). This is one of the things that led me to wonder about what you had done to assemble the kit version. Yes, some of the splash cymbals are a little hot. The toms are OK, but I'l

Yeah, I was just trying them out "for real", having dumped a percussion track from Doggiebox to my VS-1680, and then slapping some guitar and bass on. There was one section of several measures with just bass and drums (with lots of tom-tom action), but the toms were utterly buried by the bass, and just raising the level on the drums made the hat and snare way too forward. Surely, this is probably something where outputing different parts of the percussion to different tracks would be handy (hmm, if only I could do 8 audio channels out of my PowerBook :) so I could mix my funky tom-tom section with the toms higher, but since that's not really an option, I think I'll try just making them a touch louder and keep pretending I've got a couple of big overhead mics on the whole kit :) I thought I might also try panning the toms harder to either side of the stereo -- the bass probably belongs in the middle, so sticking the toms out further to the sides might help make them more noticeable without pumping them. It's all a bit experimental, since I have virtually no idea what I'm doing :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/
