In this week's One Minute EQ Trick I'm talking about something I tend to deal with often.

Too much sizzle on the snare.

I'm not a big fan of the snares being too dominant in a snare sound so sometimes I feel the need to reduce them.

If you have a top and a bottom snare mic this is often just a case of lowering the bottom snare mic until the top snare mic becomes the dominant snare sound.

But sometimes you have snares that just sound too snare-y (is that a term...?)

I also tend to record a lot of live drums and the hi-hat bleed into the snare track is often a problem.

So in the video below I show you a solution to both of those problems, in under a minute!
