Ok, I originally posted this in the 'recording techniques forum and got no replies...so I will try here.
A question regarding recording drums...first should tell you that I am EXTREMELY new to recording.
I am wondering about getting a huge drum sound....think "Levee Breaks" but more "in your face" and not so distant sounding.
current setup:
mackie 1604 - motu 1224 - daw(cool edit pro)
I am miking snare and all toms with 57's, audix d6 on the kick, superlux pencil condenser on the hi hat, and (2) akg perception 100's for overheads.
If needed I can go into specifics about my mic placement and any other things you need to know to get a better idea of set up.
If I were to use (2) more akg 100's at a distance say 10-12 feet away and 6 feet off the ground...do i need to reverse the phase of the distant miced drums?
My intention is to blend the "room sound" mics with the close mics to get a large over the top sound.
Any other suggestions would be helpful.
