Join Saverio in this Exclusive Webinar: Transforming Raw Drum Kit Sounds into a Professional, Polished Track

We are thrilled to offer you the opportunity to join Saverio in this exclusive webinar, where he will take you through the entire process of transforming an unmixed raw drum kit sound into a fully mixed and polished track. This session is a fantastic chance for both beginner and experienced producers to learn essential techniques for mixing drums and turning a basic recording into a professional-sounding mix. Whether you’re just starting out in music production or you’re looking to refine your skills, this webinar will provide valuable insights and practical tips that will elevate your mixing game.

Drum mixing is often one of the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of music production. It involves more than just balancing the levels of each individual element in the kit. You need to shape the sound, tighten up the dynamics, and ensure that each hit adds energy and impact to the track. This webinar will teach you the techniques required to achieve this, all while using powerful HoRNet plugins designed to make the process easier and more efficient.

What to Expect from the Webinar:

Throughout this comprehensive session, Saverio will demonstrate how to use a range of HoRNet plugins to enhance and perfect your drum mix. You’ll learn how to apply precise EQ adjustments, control dynamics, and add warmth and punch to the sound of your drums. The following plugins will be featured in the webinar, and you’ll discover how to use each one effectively to achieve a professional-quality drum mix:

1. TotalEQ: Shaping the Drum Sound

One of the key plugins featured in this webinar is TotalEQ. This versatile equalizer allows for precise EQ adjustments, helping you shape the sound of your drum kit in a way that brings out its best qualities. Saverio will guide you through how to use TotalEQ’s advanced features to adjust the frequency balance of your drums, making sure that no frequency range is overemphasized or underrepresented.

Drums are naturally complex instruments with a wide range of frequencies. Kick drums, for example, have a deep low-end, while snare drums and hi-hats produce more midrange and high-frequency content. With TotalEQ, you’ll learn how to balance the low-end of your kick, clear up the mids to allow the snare to cut through, and smooth out the highs to keep your cymbals from sounding too harsh. TotalEQ is an essential tool for avoiding muddiness and harshness, ensuring that your drum mix has clarity and definition. The session will provide step-by-step instructions on how to fine-tune each frequency band, allowing you to create a drum mix that’s tight, dynamic, and well-balanced.

2. Multicomp Plus MK2: Dynamic Control and Compression

Another essential tool for drum mixing is Multicomp Plus MK2, an advanced multi-band compressor designed for dynamic control. In this segment of the webinar, Saverio will show you how to apply compression effectively to your drum mix, ensuring that each element sits perfectly in the mix without losing its natural punch and impact.

Compression is critical when mixing drums because it helps control the dynamics and ensure that the various elements of the kit, such as the kick, snare, and toms, don’t clash with each other. The Multicomp Plus MK2 allows you to apply compression to individual frequency bands, which means you can control the dynamics of each part of the drum kit without affecting others. Saverio will demonstrate how to tighten up the sound, add punch, and smooth out the dynamics, ensuring that your drums sit cohesively in the overall mix. You’ll also learn how to adjust key parameters like threshold, ratio, attack, and release to achieve a dynamic yet controlled sound.

3. HA2A: Vintage-Style Compression for Warmth and Cohesion

To bring a final touch of warmth and cohesiveness to the drum mix, Saverio will introduce HA2A, a vintage-style compressor that’s known for its smooth and musical characteristics. HA2A is perfect for adding warmth and a natural, organic feel to your drum sounds, making them sound fuller and more polished. Unlike more aggressive compressors, the HA2A adds a subtle yet powerful glue to the mix, helping all the elements of the drum kit sit together seamlessly.

In this part of the webinar, you’ll learn how to use HA2A to create a cohesive sound by gently compressing the entire drum bus. Saverio will demonstrate how to apply the vintage-style compression to your drum mix, showing you how to achieve a smooth, warm tone while retaining the clarity and definition of each drum element. By the end of this segment, you’ll understand how to give your drums that vintage vibe without compromising their punch and presence.
