I agree. If you have a good sounding room, a 414 three feet back from the drums works great. I find this sounds much more natural than an overhead pair. I do, however, sometime mic the hi-hats if the song calls for it.dirk_v wrote:Maybe I'm missing something here... Why don't you just use a single overhead?

Mixing Reel to Reels (Fostex-R8 opinons)?
I've been looking for a reel to reel machine, specifically a Tascam 388 because it has a built-in mixer, but the chances of finding one close to me (cincinnati) are slim.

Does anyone know of any gear that is similar to the 388 with a built in mixer? I'm not searching for a cheaper alternative (although I'm not looking to much spend more th...
