It would be nice to have them dry .. but then any reverb you put on the snare would be on all the drums since they are mixed down!




And therein lies the issue with having only a stereo mix of a drum track on hand.

This has always been my 'beef' with using loops and pre-done tracks for drums in particular. It's the reason I love using drum software that is realistic like BFD and Jamstix. I can mix in the amount of overhead mic, room mic, individual dry level, etc. Also can route each drum's mic to individual audio outs for individual processing.

I have a pretty large library (bought all at one time) of BetaMonkey drum loops that rarely get used because of this aspect.

Tono - here's how I would handle the situation:

Route the realdrums output to multiple sends.

On those sends put a selective EQ as best you can to isolate kick from snare from cymbals.

After those individual EQs, then you can put different reverb settings, on the kick, put nothing,

Then you can mix those 3 outputs to your liking.
