Yeah I figure if I ever get a drum mics set I would just record the drums and mix them down to one stereo track and add the rest of the sound afterwards
We don't normally mix it stereo, it's normally a single mono channel that we then duplicate and run in both channels. Then, we'll take those two channels and maybe adjust volumes and hit it with an EQ for each individual channel. That's how we get the different drumming in each channel, we just mix it that way after duplicating the single channel.
Normally... Sometimes we go all out, but we don't really need to do that every time.
Yeah drums pretty much sit in the center of the mix anyways. So a stereo track isn't really needed
We save a ton of time that way. It's easy to EQ and adjust volume levels. It takes a few minutes if you know what you're aiming for.
