Hi guys, here's my scenario.
I usually record alone, 1 track at time. Tomorrow I'm going to record about 4 songs for a bar demo with a group I've been messing around with. When I'm alone, I just use a drum machine. Tomorrow I'm going to enter the nightmare of trying to record a kit.
I understand there is no "correct" configuration and a lot of the variables should be adjusted to taste. Switching mics and moving them around will yeild different results from whtat I've learned here previously. I just don't want to waste all of the time we have set aside by making blatent rookie mistakes that might have been avoided had I asked for help.
Can you please give me a few starting point suggestions as to placement and choices for these 4 mics on a drum kit.
Shure SM57, SM58, KSM 27 and a Marshall MXL V77
Thanks.
Joe
