i always start with overheads, front of the kit mic(s) if i have them, then close mics in no particular order. so far this post is the same as most others, but i wanted to say that i always add the distant/ambient mics last after i've brought up the other instuments, otherwise i can never figure out...

the thing is that cymbal bashing can sound great with the right drummer live, but it never sounds good on recording. that's because microphones don't work like human hearing, the only mimic it. "recording is a lie." as mr. crane once put it, and most people are just trying to make their recordings m...

have quite a bit of experience recording 'hardcore' kick drum, and what seems to get that tight sound more than mic choice is dampening inside the drum. even with one of those beater heads with dampening ring built in, i might place a pillow or whatever pushed right up against the beater head until ...

I can't even walk, just sit up really straight or lay on the floor with a pillow under my knees. Anyone else suffered any recording induced maladies? - Tinnitus, electrocuti...
