Aha! This is th answer I was looking for.
Thanks to everyone! I am still gonna make sure my wiring is good. I tell you those damn oktavas kinda surprised me. I figured people would spread the word that pin 3 is hot on their microphones. There's reason I asked is because I noticed Peeder posted about pin 3 a year ago. I decided to confirm it. HEY EVERYONE OKTAVAS ARE PIN 3 HOT!!!!

This is to be expected based on the position of the mics and the way the drums are hit. The head of the kick drum moves toward the diaphragm of the kick mic when struck (assuming you are micing the inside or front of the kick). Conversely, the stick hit on the snare and toms initially pushes the head down, away from the top mics and OH mics, resulting in air moving away from the mics' diaphragms...
As far as nudging and flipping, trust your ears. I generally try to use the OH mics as a reference and get the close mics to be in agreement with these. |
