Hey, I'm gonna record drums on Monday for a bunch of songs, and pretty much just get this one day with this drummer, so I wanna make sure I use what I have correctly because I dont record drums very often. So here's what I have for pre's API A2D, Portico, Pacifica, Sytek, Dav BG1. The style is pop/rock, kinda on the acoustic side, think Coldplayish to Beck Mutations cd. My mics aren't as good as the pre's but i have 2 KSM32's, Audix i5, Audix D1, Audix D6, 2 SM57, 3 Oktava MC012's, AKG D112, Blue Blueberry. I'm recording the drums in a carpeted room, and it has low ceilings, its pretty much a very dead cause there is a lot of stuff to dampen/catch all the sound.
Enough info?
My org idea was to use the KSM32's on Overheads with the API A2D, but am now thinking I should use the Pacifica or something...that's my main concern, cause when I mix, it seems most of the sound I get is from the overheads.
I'd really appreciate anyones opinions and feedback. Thanks
