In this extended free video tutorial we show you how to mix live multitrack drums in Pro Tools using four of FabFilter’s finest plug-ins, Pro-Q3, Pro-C2, Pro-G & Saturn. Watch to learn how to mix kick drums, snares, hi hats, toms and overhead mics in the context of a busy drum mix and to learn how to use bleed to your advantage in certain situations.

The example session we used for this video does not feature any other instrumentation as we only wanted to demonstrate these techniques in the context of a full drum mix. We recommend that when you mix drums in the real world you balance the level of your tracks, EQ and compression settings in with bass guitars and other root instruments to help you sculpt your mix quicker and more fluidly.
