So I've just recently bought a lot of new equipment, and I tried most of it out yesterday for the first time. I bought the stuff to be able to record drums myself. Let me know how I've done?
Mics:
AKG D112 on the bass drum
AKG C460B on the hi-hat
Josephson C42s as overheads
Sennheiser MD421 on the floor tom
Shure SM57 on the top of the snare
AKG C414 B-ULS on the bottom of the snare
The kit itself is a vintage 1970s Ludwig with a modern Pearl Forum Snare and an odd combination of cymbals. I put new coated Ambassadors on the toms and snare, and a Black Dot head on the bass drum, but I'm not much of a drum tuner.
I used the Digidesign EQ-II and the Bomb Factory BF76 plug-ins after the tracking, and this is what I tracked through:
Great River MP2-NV on the overheads, into a Digidesign 002 running at 24/96 for everything else, except for the Presonus Tube Pre on the hi-hat.
I think that covers it.
The song is called November, and the track is available here:
