I have a Tascam 424MKIII so I'm limited to 4 tracks. I know I can assign certain tracks to more than one channel, but I want to try this idea right now:
1 mic for the bass drum.
1 for the snare.
1 overhead.
Before I go further, the search function is not working for me, so I have no way of finding this information out with that method.
I have an SM57 for the snare and I plan on buying a bass drum mic soon. I was thinking about an MXL990 for the overhead.
So if someone could share with me some techniques on placement of the overhead, maybe a different mic to buy, or anything else that would be great. I want to attempt to capture the kit with JUST 3 mics. If this isn't possible to get a decent sound of the entire spectrum whatsoever, then I'll try something different.
As far as my kit is concerned I have a 22" bass drum, 14" snare, 13" tom, 16" floor tom. Off to my right and in between the two toms is my 20" ride, to the left of my rack tom and in between my 14" hi-hats is my 18" crash.
Any help is much appreciate!
