do you have a link. searched but can;t find it. interested though... as it is, logical :eek:
 
indeed it is... how else would you mic them? technically, in this frame of thought, you would want to mic everything from an audience point of view.... so everything should be miked from a signal focal point.
 
binaural recording... it exists, but u wonder why it isn't common practice...
 
if you recorded binauraly you would probably be forced to introduce a lot more room noise..

here's what a start with right off the bat when it comes to a drum mix-

-Pan OH's All the Way left and right.
-Lower OH fader down halfway.
-Pan Snare 15-left
-EQ kick and snare, taking out 500hz completely.

Thats my starting point. where i finish, i'll never know. adjust to taste after that. compression etc, more fun here and there.

not saying that will work for you! It DOESNT work for me, but i think of it as a nice, constant starting point, and it's what i always start at.

geez. first you want to know how to setup the mics, now you want to know how to mix them too!....

;)

Why would you pan the snare? It's likely to be the driving force of the track right? You want that right up the middle I would think. Off center snares bother me for some reason.

My starting point for panning is typically representative of the kit and the mics. OH panned all the way usually makes it sound too wide. You don't want mono drums, but you also don't want the drummer playing a kit that's 30 feet wide in the headphones!

Just my little bit of input. Mix however you like, of course. :D
 
Yes I agree.

I am now interested in this binaural recording technique..

obviously I cant drop 8000$ on a newman model head, BUT i do happen to have a clay head model in my garage, maybe I can rig something up with two cheap condensors...

it might not work well but it would be something right? Man there has to be a cheaper model head, im talking under a 100 bucks.. how hard is it to have little ear models and some foam...
