Re: [LAU] First single made with linux audio

[forwarding the second mail] Hi! You can start gating or processing the snare manually, this of course is a lot of work, but it might pay. Otherwise you could move the snare alittle more to the center or even left and move something, that isn't on the snare channel to the right. You can use a compressor as well to shape the peaks of the snare track, so the ride gets lost even more. Perhaps not the nice way of doing it, but can certainly be something to ponder. In general I would spread the sounds some more in the panorama. Put the guitars - except the solo guitar - to the sides, so the drumkit has more space to breathe there and the bass guitar gets some room as well. The thing I learnt about guitars, is that their most important frequencies end at about 5-6kHz anyway. So you may put a rigorous filter on them. That would enable some more room for the snare, ride and vocals. With that genre, I would have expected the snare release phase to be more audible in the stereo panorama somehow. I mean the sound you get, when you add a moderately short reverb (1-1.5s) and use some compression after that. As for the snare/crash problem: You could try to load them in a wave viewer or something, that can display sounds in the frequency domain and see, where they have their main frequency bands and try to EQ them out a little more. I don't think the general tuning of the snare drum is a problem. That sounds OK.
