Drums loops and sonar5

sween	Date: June 23, 2006 @ 10:32 AM Hello everyone, Im workin on my tunes and noticed the drum loops - great real sound loops as they are - always sound like the snare is too loud while the bass is very quiet. what audio effect,etc do you recommend for leveling out the sound with drums?
woodhead	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 6:40 PM Sween you have producers edition try using the multi band compressor, you can compress and adjust volume for each freq. I would eq it first then try this.
leedsquietman	Date: June 24, 2006 @ 11:58 PM yes, snares have a typical frequency range of 1.5 - 4 Khz, so compress that range to scale down some peaks on the snare. Or cut eq on the loops in that range should preserve the bass and hats etc and reduce some snare. Or both...
