Inluding three kicks, four snares, tom 1, tom 2, and mono overhead. Much easier then bringing my 24 track!So that was a long introduction ... come time to mix the songs, I am a huge of fan of the mono overhead now. Individual tom tracks are still somewhat panned. But the way the centered mic picked up the whole kit seemed a lot more accurate then the space pair I've been used to doing. Maybe this is the reason some people prefer XY, due to the way the mics in the center pick up the kit. But come time to mix ... having a centered overhead allowed me to space my other instruments the way I wanted without making things seemed cluttered in the left/right sides.
So maybe I'll be investing in one solid mono overhead mic, and use my 4033's as stereo rooms incase I want that space. Long post, sorry. But does anybody else prefer the mono overhead sound?
