Best Plugins to use for Drums (generally)
This is probably a question asked by hundreds of newbies to the recording thing, but figured I'd throw my scenario out there and see what kind of answers I get back. I am essentially looking for a complete list of "general" plugins used for everything drums.
Now for some background. I'm a drummer who recently purchased an AudioTrak Maya1010 breakout box, magomi balanced cables, Audio Technica 7-piece mic kit, and Acid Pro 6 w/ digital 24 multitrack recording. All I want to do is get the best possible recording based on what I now have. Acid Pro 6 is chock full of plugins, but I have no understanding of what goes to what. What are the basics per tom, snare, bass?
Now, before you ask... I have my drums sounding as best as I can get them and I believe the mics are set at their optimal positions (bass, snare, toms, overheads). In its rawest form, the recordings don't actually sound that bad. I've even added some left/right panning to the toms to get that stereo effect with the drum rolls.
With all that said: What are the ideal effects/plugins to use for:
Bass Drum (guessing EQ and noise gate?)
Snare (guessing reverb?)
Toms (EQ only??)
Overheads. (Chorus ???)
PLEASE HELP this NOOB!!!
