[@Guccimoney24]

wow this is probably the best drum mix you ever made!

[@jakerussellaudio]

Thanks so much!

[@judecaudill]

My church is getting an x32 so this is helpful!

[@deepdownstudios]

Hi! Nice mix! Try gating the snare bottom with key from top snare, filter it to the right frequency and it let's you get even more control of the gate . And on your drum subgroup, you could smash the channel comp a lot more and just adjust the mix/parallel compression knob for a more upfront drummix, and you won't have to worry about phase issues with that insert point. Try 1-2 ms attack on the drum gates, much less prone to clicking and should work just as well. 🙂

[@jakerussellaudio]

Great input!! I really like the snare bottom trick. Thanks so much 😬👍

[@NeboAy.]

@@jakerussellaudioHey there Jake, just wanted to know, did you use a MacBook Air for the playback?

[@stevena1021]

Drum tones are great. Curious to know what other microphones were used to capture the kit

[@ephillychurch]

I love your videos man. Our church just got the x32 compact about 7 months ago and it's great. But effects racks is still a little confusing to me.

[@sounddoc92]

There can be funny phase issues when doing it that way because of the latency induced by inserting the 1176(think it was 6.3ms)...the work around for it is to use the board compressor and use the mix knob to do the parallel compression. DBB audio has addressed this issue few years ago.

[@josiah8351]

You are 💯 correct

[@richardsarkodie6675]

Jx make sure the on which you do the insert is out of the LR channel

[@IvanovYuri90]

Or u need a second steteo fx slot with another 1176, without any compression applied. On "dry" drum bus

[@bbender76]

When you mention knocking off the initial transient of the snare bottom, you can accomplish this as well by increasing the attack time on the gate. You can get the gate to the point that no transient comes through at all.

[@jakerussellaudio]

For sure! That’s definitely another option 👍

[@santosramirez3213]

as far as the facing issue with the 1176, I was told to run to buses the second one will be compressed the first one will pass through the compressor, but won’t be active that will fix your phase issues and time

[@gboyega]

Correct, this would be the right way

[@jakerussellaudio]

That’s a great idea!

[@andreaspop_5150]

if you have the budget, try superrack by waves, it’s a complete game changer

[@TheBunkerStudio]

Great vid. Opened me up to a bunch of stuff to try during outr livestream show. We DI most all, but drums always a challenge. And general thoughts on livestream drums?

[@rubikscubepie9764]

Yeah, unfortunately the X32 doesn’t have delay compensation on the mix busses. I’ve mainly kept away from using any effect rack compressor on the console as they are some of the largest causes of delay. I do have ann exception where I run fix rack compressors for master busses like FOH and Livestream cause they sound good and actually slightly correct for the delay between my FOH and stage monitors ;p. Love the video thanks, excellent and simplistic breakdown for mixing drums, don’t need any fancy techniques to make them sound amazing.

[@gboyega]

How do you handle delay compensation for the drum buses with sending the P.drum bus to an 1176 and just using the stock comp.on the main drum bus, there will be some weird phasing issues from my test.

[@francisnaval]

If I want to send the kick and the tom to the sub, is it still possible to run everything in the sub-group?

[@torgejoris9713]

Sure, just active and send the channels to your mono bus

[@ziofrenko]

Or you use both insert comp on both bus or nothing insert on both. Using an insert you are delaying this bus or channel.

[@MatthewProAudio.11]

in terms of balancing drums with faders what's your order ?

[@jakerussellaudio]

That’s a great question! This is totally personal preference but live I usually go kick - snare - overheads - toms

[@AAngel411]

I don’t why but, when I use the rich plate reverb on my xr18 it’s causing feedback

[@jakerussellaudio]

Interesting! I’ve seen the effects return accidentally get routed back to the bus? Maybe check there. Hit the stereo effects return for the plate, sends on fader, and make sure it’s not going to any buses or anywhere else.

[@arnoldmendez710]

Why not use a DCA?

[@torgejoris9713]

DCAs are „volume-only“, you can't eq or compress DCAs

[@brownhooque]

Gating and compressing this kick drum seemed unnecessary in this case. Took all the balls out.
