sorry I don't have much experience. You should know 1 or 2 great mics can do better than 7 mediocre mics. for example a pair of sm57's there all around and work almost on everything especially drums. and only 160$ mmm tempting.
Most programs you could so I don't see why not. Anyway it might be better to keep it in the box than pulling it out and in again, think about all the unnecessary resistance.
Try this c1000s as overhead sm57 on the kick (and if you have buss them through a single compresser) Its old school but it sounds cool. or I would suggest placing the 57 inside the kick pointing alittle more at the shell (so it will act as a pzm). place the c1000s between the snare and hihat...
Hear Hear!! I'm crying from the beauty of how true that statment is.
Anyway most people hear the loud smasheddead songs on the radio and day dream about there songs being the same (why? I have no idea). And/or there uneducated.
