So right now I currently own quite a few, audix f15 condenser, a mxl 990 &991, shure sm57, Electro-Voice cobalt c09, a cad kbm412 for my kick drum, a matched pair of nady cm-88's for overheads, and the audio technica mb\dk4 drum mic set, I also recently got a mxl r40 ribbon mic. I am on a bit of...
So I checked the polarity, it was fine, what I ended up doing was I moved the overheads lower, and swung them off axis from the kit, then rechecked phase and so far it seems to have completely changed how this kit sounds in the mix, the overheads are now giving me a full spectrum of the drum...
ok ill do that in a few, but I may have gotten at least some of my sound issues resolved, I came home and completely changed my mic placement, moved the overheads in closer, dropped the snare mic to the side of the shell and swapped from the audix to an sm57 (which seems to give me a better...
thanks guys, steve I don't know how to upload clips, kinda new to the whole forum thing, I would be happy to upload a clip of the track I am working on if you could give me some guidance as to how to do so. As to my cymbal positioning I will upload pics momentarily, I don't have everything super...
So I have been recording for a while But I am new to owning my own rack mount gear, What I really need more than all the compressors/graphic equalizers/effects boxes that I have been eyeing up for a long time now, is a decent headphone amplifier. I am looking for something affordable, but that...
Thank you yeah, that was the plan, i am going to test it when i get back home, flip one mic at a time and play with my headphones on for monitoring, see if the sound improves then track and go from there, I have the kit very close mic'd even the overheads are closer than most people put them, to...
thank you, i will give the polarity check a try, I did put some acoustic treatment up yesterday around the kit (had it basically everywhere else in my recording space except around the drum set) I originally thought it was acoustic issues, however after putting foam tiles and diffusers up it...
So I recently upgraded my drum kit and cymbals in the studio space, the drums sound absolutely fantastic, got just the right punch and drive. but my cymbals are another matter, no matter what i do they seem thin and kind of harsh, I have tried running a spaced pair to dial back the harsh...
So here's the situation, I just bought a new drum kit for the studio, to replace my old electronic kit with a nice acoustic setup, Mapex mars pro birch, with meinl custom classic dark cymbals. The drums sound fantastic live, the cymbals have just the sound I was looking for, but when I track...
