Getting a great tom sound without EQ
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 10:08 am
How many of you can succesfully get a great tom sound, without shitloads of EQ?
I can get a good tom sound, but I have to do it with eq, by boosting whatever the fundamental note of that partiuclar tom is, then by removing a boat load of low mid stuff (say 300 to 500 with wide Q) and then adding attack.
I have tried, many different mics and positions.
I can get good kick and snare sounds without such drastic EQ, and I am not unhappy with the tom sounds I get, just looking to see if others are doing it differently and if there is something I could do or change, to improve things...
