Better Drum Layers

Better Drum Layers
Has this ever happened to you??
Odds were when you layered the two kick drums; some phase cancellation happened a few times in your life.
It occurs when two waveforms are stacked on top of each other & the waves are exact opposites of each other.
What happens is the waves start to weaken each other's signal & if it's perfectly out of phase, the result will be silence.
It's a quick fix, though! If you find your layer is not quite as strong as you thought it would be, flip the phase on one of the samples & there is a good chance your layer will sound stronger!
Most EQ & utility plugins have a phase invert switch on it, so you will be able to do this in any DAW with most stock or 3rd party plugin.
Just locate the phase symbol that looks like this: ø
If you do a lot of layering or mix professionally, we recommend grabbing a phase alignment plugin sometime in the future. Our favorite is one by Sound Radix called "Auto-Align."
Most of the stock plugins will only allow you to flip the phase by 180º - the exact opposite.
It would work great it the phase was always off by 180º, but that's rarely the case.
You will find that some layers may only be off by 40º or maybe by as much as 220º.
Phase alignment plugins will detect precisely how much the drum layer wave is out of phase from the other drum layer wave & change the phasing, so you're entirely in phase.
The result: HUGE sounding layers!
