Does anyone know about mic placement for a snare drum?
The way i am doing it justnow is having a 57 on the top of the drum pointing straight down at the skin near the outside edge of the skin (about 1 to 2cm away). The snare sound when recorded seems to ring quite a bit and for too long. I dont want to use a gate as i dont think i can as the snare hitting is pretty fast. Could i use sticky tape on the bottom of the snare to calm down the ringing?
The sound i am looking for is a really in your face punchy sound with not much of the actual snare rattle, but i still want some snare rattle!
Could i use a 57 and a 58 both facing the top skin using the X/Y method?
How should i tune it for less ring? Could i put a soft weight of some sort on the top of the snare?
