Hi all,
this weekend our band starts to record the drums of our new demo. We have good mikes and material to record it, only: it has to be inside of a living room. And the sound is definetely not bad, I wondered if you had suggestions to improve it.
It is approx. 8 - 3 meters, and there a few coackes, a table and chairs, cupboards... that fill the room. Lot of reflections, so everything sounds pretty loud. The most annoying thing I think is going to be a the cymbals. They are often way too loud in the room. The balance between snare and kick seems ok.
Is there any way to dampen those cymbals or should I leave the room alone so I won't wreck the ok sound it has now?
