I really enjoy music that uses electronic elements for the distinct SOUND of electronic elements. I'm really not very fond of music where they try to trick you into believing that the electronic sounds are actually "organic" (non-synthetic) sounds. My rule is that if I'm using electronic drums, I w...

If you have them, try a second pair of mics the length of the djembe away from each end, it's usually the top mic i mix in a little and leave out the bass but you may like both. From the close top mic you get the detail and from the mic further away you get more of the ring and sense of well, power ...

Is that true? Really? I did not know that. That's maybe coming across sarcastic, but no, i'm really and truly surprised.

Yeah Phalex won't be there, the people that will will be more on the wonky side of things i believe. Hey Phalex, your ribbon mics in the post ...couldn't afford insurance though, let me know when you get it. Yeah, okay, we're done, no really.

I must say it's nice to have a UK tape-opper who isn't over a hundred miles away on the board for once. :D Absolutely!

Shh... we're trying to keep that quiet.

Pretty usual stuff, but I generally use a 57 up close and whatever omni's available to capture the rest of the room. Bit of ambient micing never did any harm round this way.

Speed means nothing if your notes are shit.

It was there yesterday morning and now it's gone. Can't recall who resized it for me, but maybe it was you/them? Hello? Is it me your looking for?

Yeah, is it an age/experience thing? Probably. I'm only tending to use them as and when they're really needed or whatever now, whereas a few years ago it was effects agogo. I'm much more into a more natural organic sound these days too. It's really nice to hear a bunch of people playing their instru...
