I never liked the CAD e100 on the bass drum. I liked it better on the hi-hat, but don't usually mic the hi-hat cuz I get plenty in the overhead(s). I sold my e100 last year. I'm thinking about putting 2 CAD e300s in cardioid overhead in xy config. I have the CAD Trion 7000 ribbons in spaced-pair as ...

Do you use a sine wave to set your SPL or program material?

The rectangular mic I referred to in a previous post is the Shure 819.

My default is miking outside the beater drum 45 degrees at the beater 4"-8"...second mic is generally inside the reso-skin port aimed just to the right or left of the spot where the beater hits...almost always will have phase inverted when mixed.

Thanks. I apologize for my incorrect terminology. This is spot on regarding my drummer, "Jazz or soft music in general, where you need more of the beater strike transient, which you cannot get as easily from the "front" of the kick drum." I seem to get a woofy mess from the reso-side/sound hole mic ...

I just wanted to bullshit about recording with like minded souls. I know "the variables" really dictate the decision. Side note, I have one of those Shure flat rectangle mics and have put it in the drum, but never liked the results. The drummer I record with really got stuck on the "mic at the beate...

First of all, let's skip "both" front AND back mic placement and choose front OR back bass drum mic placement. I've had better sounds with placement on the front positioned toward the beater. How about you?

I'm happy to report that I recently acquired a mint, new-in-package set of LaBella Black Tape Nylon Bass Strings.

I was all excited about my mix, but when I took it to my wife to hear, it sounded like dogsh!t...drove 100 miles to Cleveland the next day and got real monitors.

I just watched both of those and also INSTABand another fine Amazon Prime documentary.

I use an Avalon U5 to DI. I also use the 2 DI outs on my Fender Rumble Stage 800. One is dry and the other has the digital emulations/FX. Using mics, as well, is always preferred, but not always practical. It's in the fingers or pick. The sound will translate thru any means of recording...mojo- whet...

My upright basses are happy that my latest G.A.S. attack yielded them an Ear Trumpet Labs Nadine microphone.

vvv, you've been doing sound for a long time. Why do you ask what you're missing? I think you know what's up!

"using an Alesis, or Crown, or Adcom, etc., power amp" you're missing the selectability you have with your receiver. Mackie Big Knob (among others) solves that issue.

I always get mad at the click when it's "off" timing wise. I swear my timing is perfect...was perfect? Was never perfect? Look an emoji of a click track !!!
