This week’s tutorial is a step-by-step guide to drum busses.
Drums are an important component in modern day music. The right tone & feel of the drum mix is an important part of the driving force for any song or beat. Creating a solid “glued” sound for your drum bus is a great way to ensure a solid knock without creating chaos.
In this video, we will breakdown the things to consider on your drum bus such as, proper routing, setting levels, saturation, & bus compression. We will demonstrate how to execute this task & give you tips on how to properly compress your drum bus so it doesn't sound smooshed or lose its punch.
Follow along as professional engineer Eric “Realistic” Michael breaks down his techniques to an awesome drum bus.
● This video discusses how compressors work
