dw tom 1.wav

DW double octavic toms

my original DW toms, mixed with themselves 1 octave up [the octave up is lowered -6dB and the envelope reshaped to allow loud only the attack]

then for that resulting mixdow again the same thing [so I used the same method two times]

at all steps I was using the simple compressor[not multiband] for not allowing overlimiting.

for the two general mixdowns [because it was a double process] I used hard compressor at -0.45 dBs

and for the two octavic parallel channels I used hard compressor -3.60 dBs
because the octave doesn't sound realistic if not well compressed.

For all my DW octavic tomsed I used the same exact method.

My original DW toms are here if you want to read data or mics.

These toms do not sound realistic as stand alone sounds.

These harmonics work better only in a complete mixdown, and have increased audibility than the original recordings [for silent music parts use the original because low velocity of parallel instruments will expose the supportive tom-harmonics].
