" You didnt like the snare because is badly tracked? Or because you believe other snare sound may fit better? Do you believe the problem is at the source (the snare), do you believe that processsing to tape, or summing 2 snare microphones to tape would have made a significant change for worse?. Would you have make a better mix if the snare wasnt processed? What if the bass would have been processed to sound the way you like, would you have complained about having to work less to make sound right?

Could wee just postpone this discussion or do this in another thread later?
I can give some answers regarding snare:
Artistic comment (feel free to discard or go in your own way):
It was just too high pitched, was short and didn't have enough springs.
Now technical part:
Blending two snare mics in recording is very bad idea, because there will be no nudging and no phase reverse.
>Would you have make a better mix if the snare wasnt processed?
No doubt, if transients smeared you cannot undo this. This is very clinical case of snare, there is practically nothing you can do apart from replacing it (with blend)
>would you have complained about having to work less to make >sound right?
We are not motivated by money here and don't hesitate to work more, we are nation of principals and ideals:)
