And Vitae, that was a very kind gesture of you and I really appreciate it. However, I find it rewarding to give the initial clientele who supported the product from the start a nice free ride through the life of the software. Its the least I could do. |
Awesome. Im a fan of Mike's (AAFs drummer) he has a lovely touch to his playing. Cool guy and was always very willing to share info on his gear and what he used.
I believe on the recording of smooth criminal he used a dw copper shelled snare. I know copper... its not that common but it does have unbelievable bite and is slightly dryer than brass. He went for a shorter depth also, because he wanted to project more of a crack. He gave this info to Modern Drummer mag back when the track was a hit.
On the engineering side, i think audix/audio technics mics was all that was mentioned, but Jay's ambience on that snare is just perfect.
