Once we were happy with all the instrument recordings, we then went through and cleaned up the track i.e. getting rid of the guide tracks and any unwanted audio or silence to ensure an easier edit.
Once we had done this, we decided to pan the instruments and the different elements of the drums from the drummers perspective to give it more of a realistic stereo sound ensuring that the kick and snare were central in the mix.
We also ensured all the tracks were grouped and labelled correctly to make all the sounds recognisable and easy to change the general levels ie if the drums need to go up in volume, once grouped, all faders representing each of the elements of the drum kit would increase.
We also created a stereo master fader to make us able to adjust the entire track when it came to editing it.
