I am working on a project with a drummer and we are recording drums + guitar "in the room". The drum kit is mic'ed with 3 mics (Glyn John method.) We used an SM57 on top. PGA56 for the side. And a beta 52A for the kick.
My issue is the transient on the top/side mic. When I set the input gain so that there is no clipping, the audio tracks require a limiter and then some make-up gain to get the balance correct in the mix. The problem is the amount of make-up gain is making the noise floor audible.
What is the most common/simple solution for this?
