I have no idea what you know and don’t know about mixing and I haven’t heard any of your drum recordings so I’m assuming you’re a beginner
I don’t want to sound rude but I’ll be pointing you to YouTube first. There are lots of videos there explaining the basics of audio processing.
I suggest you start with the basics because if you really want to be serious about mixing your drums, a good foundation will take you a long way.
In drums, EQ, Compression, and Phase are what you need to understand the most. So look these up on YouTube
Produce like a Pro, Hardcore Music Studio, and Attaway Audio are some of my recommended channels
I suggest checking Attaway Audio first because the content is very friendly to newbies. Even though the focus there is live sound, the concepts apply to studio recordings all the same
Now if you’re not a beginner and you have specific questions about issues you find in your recordings, go ahead and ask away. I’ll answer the best I can if I know what to do.
Thanks appreciate it. I have been drumming my whole life and got into recording via VST/midi over COVID, but I’ve never done acoustic recording in any capacity. So I’m as newbie as it gets while having an okay ish understanding of what most things are and how to find them. I’ll look into your recs!
