Isolating Seperat Drums

[santiago]

I am with my band of local kids and we are recodring on my Yamaha four track.

I have run the snare and the hi-hat thru a pre-mixer just to get volumes right, and the i have run that as one signal into track four. On track two (of the four track) i have a mic inside my bass drum.

Now the problem is that the mic i have inside my bass drum is also picking up the snare drum. How can i isolate the snare and bass. Will i need to get a special bass drum mic?

With a four track why bother to isolate?

Just keep moving the mikes around until you get a good stereo balance. How many tracks were you intending to dedicate to drums anyway?

What other instruments will you be adding?

Agreed - bleed-thru is your friend here!

Use minimal mics - get the placement right to adjust the overall balance on the kit...
