I'm finaly taking the next step in my recording. . . I'm micing my entire drumset. . . I've got a couple questions about the kick drum though.
1) When micing. . . Should I position the microphone inside or outside of the bass drum? I've got that hole on the front of the set, and don't know whether or not to put the mic inside or outside.
2) EQing. . . Should I focus the kick drum generally higher or lower in the Frequency range than the bass guitar? In all my recordings so far, the bass drum and the bass guitar muffle eachother out, and I don't know which should go lower. Or does anyone jus thave general EQing tips for drums? Are they more towards the middle or lower end of the spectrum?
Thanks for any help
