I recorded this about 20 minutes ago with the help of my new (!) mxl 993s and 990.

Can anyone offer any feedback on the recording?

http://www.audiostreet.net/artist.aspx?artistid=7190 <-- the stream labelled "drumming"

The 993s were used as overheads, in the fashion that "tubedude" presented in one of the threads in this forum. I used an sm57 on snare, about an inch from the top of the snare head. The bass is mic'd with a cheap dynamic, and the 990 was used as a room mic (needed to find some place to put it :}).

I used only compression on the room mic, and i think a little on the BD. . . but i don't really remember. I didn't touch eq or any sort of processing. Except for the compression, this was recorded and mixed on the fly. With that being said, ignore any timing issues and sloppiness, I was just fooling around. But in hindsight I should've prepared something to show my mad skills, ahem.


Thanks
 
Sounds good to me, for an on-the-fly job. I'm sure if you spent more time tweaking the EQ, you could get it sounding really good.
 
Thanks for the reply. So you don't see any immediate problems with the recording?

Sounds like you did a decent job capturing the kit. Other than that, it's hard to draw many conclusions. The real test is how it stands up in a mix.

Certainly some mad skills on display here, though. :p
 
i cant hear the clip, it wont play and i cant download it...
 
Hm, I don't know. It still works for me. Sorry I can't help.
 
The ambience is great.

EQ that boy (mo' bass!) and I think it would really rock.

Keep up your efforts.
