That's a cool little collage. I listened to the song "anthem" and I have to say it doesn't sound quite as good as it looks.

[VSpaceBoy]

Sounds pretty good.

Of course I can't speak the language , but the recording sounds good.

hmm.

It looks like you are cross firing those OH mics. That can cause problems sometimes, because the on axis sound has more amplitude, making it apear louder in one channel, but it has time of arrival problems because the sound it is "aimed" at arrives to it after the other channel's mic. This causes the brain to hear one channel louder, but later, which can cause wierd sounds, esp. with cymbals due to the high frequencys. Try it more coincident, but if you like the sound that you are alredy getting then keep it.

Ok, I see the stuff I commented on wasn't the session. That sounds pretty darn good actually.

Hehe, Jake, and thx

Johnalex.. I might be my english, but I don't see what you mean with your post..

I usually (well.. always) use XY overheads.. I think it gives you a better stereo image. It's hard to get a 'wide' drumkit, but I don't like that anyway..

sorry man didn't mean to bust out with the acoustical physics. hey if the recording sounds good then it sounds good! keep having fun.
