I'm not afraid of EQing stuff,

On the snare drum, with a 57,

you typically have to add top end.

One other thing I should mention

I have all my faders at the same level,

so whatever the, that is minus five or minus 10.

get a quick rough mix going,

and then start whatever work you're going to do.

When you can put up those drum faders,

which on tape, would be eight to 12 faders.

在錄音帶上，這將是8到12個推子。

In Pro Tools, sometimes you'd branch things out

在Pro Tools中，有時你會把東西分出來

a little bit more,

多一點。

so it can be up to 16 faders with 16 microphones.
