Overhead Drum Kit Effects

For the two overhead drum mics (which we use for most of the drums, just adding the kick and the snare tracks in for extra color), I’ve been panning them hard left and right, and using a Plug-in from Samplitude’s Analog Modelling Suite called am|Track. This plugin is a combination compressor and tape simulator. There are two presets I like for the drum kit: “drums: submix,fat” and “drums: submix,retro”. The retro one seems to boost the snare frequencies a little more, whereas the fat one ‘fattens’ as you would expect.
