big country said:a person who knows alot about micing drums will tell you to pad every drum mic to stop bleed that way it is also easyer to gate.
A pad does not make the mic less sensitive, it makes the preamp less sensitive to the mic. The only reason a pad would make a gate work better is because, with the pad, the signal level is down where the gate will work more efficiently. welcome to proper gain staging.big country said:It can turn the volume down , making the mic less sensitive.
No, it just so happens that I have been making my living with audio for almost 25 years. That's why I know a lot.big country said:so if you own a studio that means you know alot?
Nobody asked you to kiss thier ass.big country said:or if you have a crap load of posts and some green lights below your name I should kiss your ass.

ausrock said:I've never heard of someone padding every mic on a kit and no-one else in this thread seems to support the practice so surely that says something.

I'm sorry, but that's waaay over-thinking it.ausrock said:Now, I think what BC is trying to apply here is the theory that the further away the snare is from the mic, the greater effect the pad will have on the snare sound (kinda logarithmic type scale thang) but because of the symbiotic relationship between the kick mic and the kick drum, the pad won't have the same effect on the kick sound. How'm I doin' so far...........?
I think you're giving him too much credit. He probably can't even pronounce those words, let alone make a theory out of them. No, unfortunately, he's just stupid and wrong.littledog said:Big Country believes that a pad is not linear and will work like an expander -
You reached the brick wall because a pad doesn't work like that. It does the same thing as turning down the gain control on a mic preamp, or a fader on a channel strip. It doesn't change the nature of how a mic picks up sound. It just attenuates level....the level of everything going through it..... equally. It's not magic, it's an attenuator.ausrock said:Now, I think what BC is trying to apply here is the theory that the further away the snare is from the mic, the greater effect the pad will have on the snare sound (kinda logarithmic type scale thang) but because of the symbiotic relationship between the kick mic and the kick drum, the pad won't have the same effect on the kick sound.
