Hi... new forum member here!
This seems like a wonderful forum, and well attended by Ben and other members of Harrison. I recently installed Mixbus after looking into it for some time. I'm quite new to recording and audio production, but have done a good amount of research so far. I'm excited about the journey, and using Mixbus in particular.
I have a question regarding the Harrison gates, and how they may be advantageous (or not) for my application.
I'll be recording drums in a simple manner with three mics: 1) Front of the kit, 2) snare, 3) kick. I'll be using the Drum Character plugin for the snare and kick.
I was hoping to isolate the snare and kick a bit more from the rest of the kick by means of a gate. Harrison has two plugins that are very attractive: The Tom Gate (XT-TG) and the Expander-Gate XT-EG.
I know the Tom gate is obviously tailored for toms, but can it be used to isolate the snare and/or kick in my application?
Lastly, in a setup like this with three mics, do you find that it would be even recommended to gate? Or would I be potentially creating more headaches than it's worth?
Thanks for reading!
