Just switched to Audix D-series mics

[Johnka]

And they are incredible! I was using a cheap set of Digital Reference mics before, and it would take me a solid 12 hours of mixing to get a good overall sound. I mixed this one in about 2 hours, and it sounds far better than all my previous ones.

But I'm still new to mixing, and any feedback would be appreciated.

Here's the audio file:

I see that you still use a 57 on the snare and a D112 on the floor tom. What were those overheads?
And what did you use for the kick? Did I not see a high-hat microphone?


Was that all done with one camera on your video?

Right, an SM57 on the snare and a D112 on the second floor tom. I've got Audix D2s on the rack toms, a D4 on one floor tom, and a D6 in the kick. Overheads are Apex 435s and no hi-hat mic.

I've got three cameras running simultaneously.

Yeah they are. Love the D6.
