Andrew Scheps’ big toms effect

Use this technique to get big toms.[^1]

  • First remove any cymbal bleed
  • Reverb with pre-delay and long decay, a nonlinear reverb
  • Subtle chorus to give it a PA stadium thing

Before sending to a reverb, Andrew does the following:[^2]

  • Scoop the mids
  • Boost bass and treble
  • Boost into a limiter
