Hey everyone so I'm always telling my producer friends the same thing, 'Make your drums bigger' so why not I explain a couple techniques you can use to make your drums, BIGGER!
One technique, very simple, is Mult: If you have a snare you can send the signal to three different aux or fx tracks or you can duplicate the tracks giving you a total of three snare drum tracks. What you are doing now is treating each track differently with some eq and compression to blend the sound together. The first one you can focus and enhance the "attack" of the snare. The second you can add some "body" to the snare. The third you can focus on the "tail" end really what ever you want to bring out and create an epic snare drum. Once you have the three different versions, you really just blend them to your taste, experiment.
Second technique, Parallel Compression: Parallel compression is really fun to do and can really be used on anything and I see it being used on vocals a lot more. what you will do is you can send the sound to an aux track or fx track, or you can duplicate your sound. On the duplicated track you will add a compressor so now you have one dry and one compressed. Next, you use the compressor to get your sound, punchy, smooth, warm, etc. and blend the two together.
