Hi all,
I have problems to record loud percussions (type surdo which is a bass drum, tamborims, etc...): when I mic the drum farther the sound is not tight enough, and I get a lot of ambient noise (especially the bass drum, and the tamborim) , and the sound looses texture when I mic closer to the drum. For those who are not familiar with these percussions, the surdo has a sound similar to the bassdrum of the TR808, and the tamborim is a small hand drum played with a stick with a very loud, piercing sound. I use an AKG D112 and AKG C1000 plugged directly in a mackie 140...which ouputs go into a beringher compressor. I record onto a VS1824. I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks.
Almiro
