How do I get Cymbal Bleed into OverHead mic? PLEASE HELP ME :(

[MorphMusic]

It shows a circle in the bleed option box, and won’t let me assign cymbals or rides to overhead… which forces me to use the ambient close mic for ride and cymbal bleed, but it just sounds too far away. What is the major difference between overhead and close ambient mic. Should I just turn the fader to a good level on ambient close mic, and be grateful? Or is there something I’m doing wrong? Please help me, I’m multi-channel recording this in ableton and this is holding me back from recording

Thanks in advance,
Edward

Thats weird ,
The cymbals main mic IS the o/heads, thats why you can’t uncheck them or turn them off, they are permanently on.
Once selected you can turn the Cymbals up/down individually on the right bottom of the gui which affects their volume globally.
The o/head mice are the closest to the cyms so won’t be too roomy.
I usually turn them down/off in the room mics especially if i have boosted them up globally as they can get too washy and roomy.
Those important sub mixers in the mics are best thought of as subtractive and are useful for pulling down certain kit pieces on favoured loud mics.
Experiment some more i am sure you will find what you are after.

Ahh!!! Thank you so much!!! I wasn’t getting any sound coming out into ableton mixer, due to incorrectly assigning ableton input channel from multi-outing of SD2. I confirmed that cymbals are default to OH track, and found the culprit… ME! Haha, thanks again!
