Dirtying/warming acoustic drums?
Yo audiobus community!
was wondering what peoples tips and tricks are for dirtying or making drums a little warmer and more lofi (as far as ios/audio units are concerned)
got some drum recordings that have a little too much of that digital high end. was wondering if there is anything out there people use to soften that.
any recommendations or insight would be much appreciated!
thanks.

Any saturation app will do it. Saturn is my fave.
To warm up, tape saturation (chow tape model is free and awesome, Unfiltered Audio LO-FI-AF is also great and inexpensive)
For the dirt, parralel processing using distortion EQ and compression on a bus track can do wonder. Plenty of videos on the topic on YouTube. You would need a DAW with flexible audio routing capabilities (Auria Pro or AUM are perfect for bus processing, FabFilter Saturn or Nembrini PSA 1000 for the distortion/saturation are nice, Caelum Audio Beef can also be a one-stop solution, Any compressor will do FabFilter Pro C2 for clean compression, DDMF MagicDeathEye stereo or IHNY-2 can bring nice sound coloration)
Depends what sound you have in mind. If you want a digital lo-fi sound use a bit crusher or wave-shaper; if you want something more analog use saturation or distortion.
I like using Caelum Audio's "Beef" to slightly degrade or warm up "too clean" drums.
saturn 2 + a LPF + tape saturation + weird short reverb
First of all, get @CaelumAudio 's Beef. It works similar to Decap's Knock (which is also available on iOS but considerably more of an investment) and has an EQ, Noise Modulation for some subtle artifacts, a saturator section with multiple saturation options, a bitcrusher, a transient shaper, and a limiter.
If you really find you need to go even further Lofi, get RX950 to slap on the drums before Beef.
Another bot, or a person pretending to be one. @CapnWillie time for a bit of a cleanup maybe?
That one was spooky!
Are these real drum recordings or just acoustic drum samples?
If it’s the latter you could just try finding samples that better suit what you want rather than applying fx.
+1 on everything that's been said.
I'll add... subtractive EQ to remove the digital harshness before all the other processing.
