Here's the deal. I need to record various live percussion (djembe, congas, bongos, cymbals, tambourine, cowbell) over my programmed beats. My style of hiphop is grimey and warm, like Madlib, Portishead, WuTang. So Im NOT looking for that pristine Scott Storch, Dr Dre sound.
Whats the best sounding, yet cost effective method to do this??
For Pres I have a GT Brick, Presonus MP20 (2ch) and the pre's in my Digi002.
for mics, I have some 57s, a D112 and a pair of ADK Hamburgs (i was also thinking about picking up some cheap ribbons).
Now, should I mic some individual drums and set up the Hamburgs as room mics? or can I get away with just room mics??
If Im gonna use multiple mics, I have a little bit of a budget ($500) for either another pre or maybe a decent old analog mixer (maybe a TAC Bullet, Soundcraft, A&H, Tascam M30). What would you suggest??
