thanks dude will give some of these a try out, have just started using saturation on cymbals found it works well

[@FrightboxRecording]

Hell yeah, glad to hear that!

I'm digging the less is more vibe that you preach here Bobby. I used to make deep cuts that also resulted in crazy boosts to get any kind of life in my mixes but they were messy/ cloudy if that makes sense. I'm still figuring it all out in a 2 steps forward 1 step back but it's all progress and I love the Journey. Also my fans (Mom/GF/ Cat/ Dog) think my music sounds great so thats all that matters hahahaha. Not sure if you've done it but I'd love a video on mixing with programs such as EZ drummer as that's all I have access to until I buy a kit and play it for 10 years (which is actually the plan) hahaha

Cymbal sound from you has improved each year dude.. Noticeable difference from like 5 years ago to now

[@FrightboxRecording]

Thanks Leroy!

This is simply great man....Bobby is the best...he could charge for all this...but he doesnt

[@Josh-vp9gs]

Great video. Is there a logo saturation plug-in you can recommend for us outside of protools?

[@jorrickthole6505]

Great video on an often overlooked area of the kit. Thanks dude 🤘💀🤘

[@FrightboxRecording]

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

[@FrightboxRecording]

Thanks for hangin' Alexey!

[@RockWeller]

Gonna use it for the next song 🔥🔥🔥

[@FrightboxRecording]

Hell yeah! Let me know how it works out for you.

[@johanneseckestrom6566]

And when it comes to samples, would you do all this kind of processing?

[@VVVY777]

Bobby, great video. Am currently mixing cymbals too. Awesome. Also, you look really handsome in this video.

[@heavymetalmixer91]

Great video, you reminded me about how important it's too EQ the cymbals, how could I forget about that? LOL

[@FrightboxRecording]

Glad to be a help!

[@antoniofernandez4809]

Maestro! Thanks!

[@gatoloco_media]

I just had 1 track on overhead and room track, is that a problem ? Why I had 1 track each ? Because I used midi drum for my song

[@benmascioli1133]

What mics do you recommend for each cymbal mic’d up??

[@FrightboxRecording]

Hello Ben! I'm a huge fan of the Shure SM81's, although on this recording I used 4 cheapo Samson C02 pencil mics. In all honesty they sound just about the same as the Shure mics.

[@Waltila89]

Speaking of saturation, can you recommend a saturation plugin for allround use?

[@JUNK_ZONE]

I personally love Decapitator by Soundtoys.

[@FrightboxRecording]

I'm a huge fan of PSPs Vintage Warmer and the Cranesong Phoenix. These days I mainly use the stock saturator plugins in Pro Tools...I'm not picky.

[@FrightboxRecording]

I've been meaning to check that one out for 7 years now lol.

[@arcanesanctuary]

Decapitator is sick man I think you will love it. Also the protools lo fi is a gem.

[@andrew74x]

Good stuff.
