Short clip, just under a minute... hi-rez Mp3. This is NOT
using stems, BTW, it's just a regular standard mix:

Here's a portion of that with just the drums, nothing else.

One-Dimensional? Collapsed soundfield? I don't think so.

DO I hear the UAD 1073 EQ on Kick ond OH's?

I am listening to my blue G4 mono speaker so it is sort of 1 dimensional.

No, there is zero EQ on the kick & OH's, in fact. The kick tone
is all multiband comp with the middle ducked down & the lows &
high's brought up... Audix D-6 through a Chandler TG-2 & a
multiband configured as mentioned, not a drop of EQ on it.
The OH's on that one are B.L.U.E. Bluebirds through a Focusrite
ISA 428, nothing on them at all, no dynamics, no EQ.

The snare definitely has some EQ on it - it's Matt Craig's
Paris VST EQ, in fact, and the Toms have a little boost at 7k &
100hz, and a small shelf starting at 10k but that's it for EQ
on the drums... the hats are an Earthworks TC-30 through a Neve
Portico, no EQ there either.

Funny... is it perhaps out of phase with itself? lol :D

Thanks, Deej... umm, to make it sound like MIDI should I
quantize the audio on the drum tracks during the slight tempo
retard at :09 seconds in, and again at about :31 seconds (you
know, the part where I f%&$ck up on the hi-hats a bit)? lol

C'mon gang, 57 people played this clip 76 times since
yesterday, let's hear some more responses... does it sound
one-dimensional/shrunken/etc.?

Guys who are using Cubase, but summing though Paris (Gene?
Anyone else?), do you think I'd get an even bigger sound if I
came out of a Multiface in 4 submixes, then summed those live
on another PC through a Paris 8-in module?

Love it on kick & snare, and on certain vocal mics there's
nothing quite like it. It's a great pre, IMO.

No it's not the sound Neil it's the drumming that's very one dimensional

LOL! OK, no argument from me on the drumming... I am not a
drummer so I'm just trying to follow the original MIDI stuff I
programmed (got pretty close, for the most part).

And Dave... it's really not MIDI. all that's real & it's not
triggered samples - I did have to do a few edits because - well,
BECAUSE I'M NOT A BJORKIN' DRUMMER! (lol), but they're real
drum tracks.
