    Original Sennheiser e602 Mics (and kick drums in general)

    No shit. That's a pretty awesome endorsement. That original e602 is my first choice, along with the MD-421-U, it's just impossible to find a used one. What version of the 421 do you have? Did you also find the need to use a second mic on the kick when using the 421? Do you just use the e602 on...

    Original Sennheiser e602 Mics (and kick drums in general)

    Crap. Atleast that Danmar thing was cheap. Your saying it's gonna make things sound more clicky? GUH! If I end up hating it I'll just go with the normal felt deal.

    Original Sennheiser e602 Mics (and kick drums in general)

    Maybe I'm getting boomy and boxy confused. I just know I wasn't a big fan of the D112. I play hard/heavy rock. Influences would be Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Sabbath, Pentagram, early Bowie, early T. Rex and '77 and UK82 Punk Rock. I'm not trying to copy anyone, these are just...

    Original Sennheiser e602 Mics (and kick drums in general)

    All you're points on the vintage 421's are understandable, especially since I've been thinking the same type of stuff. The one thing I got going for me is the refund policy...some are 14 days, others 30. I understand there's no warranty involved, which is always nice, but something in me really...

    Original Sennheiser e602 Mics (and kick drums in general)

    Isn't the B52 on of those pre-EQ'd deals thay accentuate the click? Mostly everyone ive seen discuss the 421's likes the originals. They say the new ones are brighter, maybe too bright? It is a crap shoot with the old ones tho, especially when u can hear it first. I'm gonna get one that had a...

    Original Sennheiser e602 Mics (and kick drums in general)

    When's the last time any of you have seen an original Sennheiser e602 mic for sale? I've probably been looking once a day for almost a month and NOTHING! I guess when someone bought one back in the day they all dug it and no one wants to sell their's. Unless they're broke and need the money I'm...

    Snare Too Loud in OHs w/ Glyn Johns Mic Technique

    What do u mean by "it always seemed a little things?" You mean thin? Ive heard other people say there isnt much difference in sound between the originals and new models. What variant of the new models would u suggest trying? Thanks.

    Snare Too Loud in OHs w/ Glyn Johns Mic Technique

    That's actually what I did with good results...I just moved the high OH a bit off the snare; I had it right over it initially. It's also true about controlling the recording outcome by how hard/soft you hit the skins. I've just been messing around with the mic placement so far. I've got plans to...

    Studio Monitors - 5" vs 8"

    The 308's are near field as well, right?

    Studio Monitors - 5" vs 8"

    I've also read about the negative aspects of ports on monitors. Like you said tho, getting a pair without them can get pricey.

    Studio Monitors - 5" vs 8"

    I'm planning on buying a pair of studio monitors and I've been doing some research recently. I've narrowed it down to either the JBL LSR's or the Yamaha HS's. The dimensions of my room are: 21' (Length) x 15' (Width) x 8.75 (Height); my ceiling is made up of ceiling tiles. Is my room big enough...

    Snare Too Loud in OHs w/ Glyn Johns Mic Technique

    I've been using the Glyn Johns Mic Technique for my drum kit with great results, but the snare is picking up too loud on the overheads. Is there a way to cut it's volume down? Is that what the duct tape on the drum skins is for? Thanks.

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    It's more of a general question, although I guess it does have alot, it not all, to do with the gain settings on the interface. I'll ask over on the UA forum.

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    I'm a rock guy, not into Autotune stuff. I debated on the LA2 and 1176 Collections and ended up opting for the LA2; I forget my reasoning at the time, but I'm definitely happy with my decision. It might have been that I liked the LA2 Legacy version better than the 1176 Legacy. Moving off the...

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    Here's a picture of my drum mic setup: The two overheads (the one high up and the one by the floor tom and ride) are both 47" from the middle of the snare. The floor tom side mic is around 6" above the floor tom; I postilion it in-between the cymbal and tom, and facing straight across the...

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    That's not a Waves plugin tho. The $99 I'm getting is a store credit to the Waves store only. Like I was saying, I don't have the cash to invest at the moment, so I need to go with a Waves plug. I might be able to scrounge together $50 if the L1 is as good as what I've read online. I don't...

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    I've been hard panning the OH pair, 100% R, 100% L. It just makes it easier on me and the CPU cuz I'm using the same plugins on each OH track...this way I only have to use 'em once. I'm still having balancing issues tho. It just seems like my mix is all over the place; I really need to tighten...

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    Oh ya, one other question I keep forgetting to ask.. I've recently been sending my two OH mics to a stereo bus (via the sends) and then sending that bus (via the main outputs) to the drum bus. When sending the two OH mics to the OH bus, I've been sending each on it's own mono bus...meaning if...

    Setting up a Drum Bus

    Are using one specific comp. from that plugin bundle, or u switching 'em up? I only have 4 mics to work with (not sure if I already mentioned that).. a pair of MCA SP1 LDC (although advertised as LDC's, they're prob more medium sized), one SM 57 and a crappy $40 Shure mic. I've been using the...
