every time i here a great recording of drum i ask..."where did you place the mic on the kick drum?" and they always say..."right outside of the bass drum pointing at the hole to the right."
the sound that i want is a big,fat,low-end,loud kick drum sound.
every time i try this, i always get the same thing... a dirty,muddy sound that i can almost not even hear in the mix. i have tuned my kick to where i like it and i've even bought a shure beta 52 mic and recorded with it's eq set on flat. but it just sounds bad.
what a'm i doing wrong?
help!
