Fattening-up a mic’d snare sound from beginning to end. This video is metal and rock specific, but it can apply to other genres as well. I used Apple’s Logic for the video, but the concepts apply to any DAW. I used Travis’ snare tracks from our recent Megadeth cover for the example ( https://asthestorygrows.bandcamp.com). I originally made this video for Travis’ benefit, but I re-edited the whole thing because I thought it would be useful for the home-recording crowd in general.
If you want to hear before/after sound clips before watching the whole thing, they are in the last 30 seconds of the video.
(I apologize in advance for the noise in the mic… I had a fan running in the next room that I forgot about, and there was quite a commotion outside my window.)
