Great video! Very deep and interesting. What about room sound with the M50´s?.

Quick Question... In Downloading the tracks and playing with them it appears the sub kick track is out of phase ( I know its actually polarity) anyway it sounds way better with it out of phase (polarity) I'm trying to wrap my head around the physics of it. I know what ever sounds the best is but, this case is counterintuitive and trying to figure out why,
Glen April 8, 2019 at 11:23 AM

Jack, that was by far the most comprehensive and impressive showcase of drum tracking knowledge I’ve ever witnessed. A real eye opener! thank you!

Im curious about the LX20 processor for toms. i love the low overtones it provided. so I did a google search and found Drawmer as the maker. I just want to make sure my search results are accurate. Or are the LX20's JJP talks about a different brand?
Hernan January 30, 2019 at 4:54 AM

Yep Joel, I'm pretty sure that the brand is Drawmer. It's a real great sounding compressor from the late 70's-early 80s and it works awesome in drums ;)
