Hey Guys,
Since my band is deciding to get back together, which means making another album, I decided that since I got my new kit (Pearl Masters BRX), I should go back beforehand to get it sounding good on recordings so that when the time comes, we're ready to rock and roll. Let me just say, it took a lot of adjusting from the settings I had saved from recording my Export kit - totally different sound. So here's the deal...
In case you don't know, the way I record is simple. I use Garageband on my Macbook Pro because I don't have any other recording software. Therefore, all I do is plug my mics into my mixer board, and run the outputs of the mixer board directly into the line-in jack of my laptop. Not the best, I know, but it's all I have, and I try to make everything sound decent on one track.
The mics I used here were 2 Audio Technica 2020's as overheads, and one SM57 on the snare. I would have used a kick mic, but my PG-52 took a crap on me, so I just ordered a new Shure Beta 52A today So just take note, THERE IS NO KICK DRUM MIC IN THIS RECORDING!!! When it gets here next week, I'll do another recording with the new kick mic mixed in.
I just got these overheads yesterday, and I must say for how cheap they were, I'm very happy with them. They pick everything (except the toms maybe...) up nicely, especially the cymbals. A few of you may remember me starting a thread asking what overheads I could buy for under $150, well I found these for $60 brand new on eBay!!!
Let me know what you guys think. Again, this is with just 2 overheads and a snare mic, so don't mind the crappy, off-in-the-distance kick sound. I think once I get the new kick mic mixed in, it'll sound rockin
Thanks!
