What does THIS button do?
I can't seem to find this anywhere.. searching online and the forums.. so I figure I'll ask...
Now that I have gotten my drums sounding a little better in the room, I want to try to mic them again.. but I noticed something when I was surfing MSHilarious' site.. I was listening to clips from the MSH-1's as overheads and I couldn't believe what I heard. When I track my overheads, its very thin sounding. It seems like the toms don't cut through, I can barely hear the kick, and the snare is really muddy and just mid-range slop. I thought about it, and when I stand near my drum set, it sounds much better a little ways in front. Can I use an XY overhead setup and place it in front a little ways? How far in front of my drums should my overheads be? and with a spaced pair, should I place them further behind to pick up the kick sound? It seems like I am micing over top of the bass drum and no sound is making it to the OHs except for reflections.. at least, that is what I'm thinking...
