ghost notes on the snare drum - how to gate?

Subject: ghost notes on the snare drum - how to gate? Fri Oct 01, 2010 12:12 pm

hi guys, currently having the following problem:

i got 2 snare tracks (top, bot) both suffering from severe bleeding, which i want to cut out. but if i want to catch all ghost notes the gate starts to distort.

i was thinking about EQ before gating, but it didnt seem to do the trick.

ideas?

Hmm... I have a couple of ideas.

If we talk about MIDI: Write the ghost notes to a different track (Snare Ghost for example Razz

) and edit it in this track seperately.

If we talk about real drums - wav files:
1) Duplicate the snare track.
2) Hi and low pass to cut the hats and kick.
3) Boost about 170hz -250hz (sweep)
4) Gate it
5) Blend with the original track

More ideas soon. Try these for now
Very Happy

yeap in many VSTi applications. you can disable bleeding also, if the software allows it

im not sure if AD has that option.although,i have not looked for it either.

I know Superior Drummer allows you to disable bleeding. It's some good piece of software What a Face

Addictive Drums is just my preference so far.

any experience with AD?

I'd love to try AD, just checked out some audio samples, they sound good.

i think they are definitely as good as SD
