Keeping the Drums low in the UprightBass Microphone

[Al Schmitt]

Not really, I dont have any tricks, I put gobos around the drummer just small ones so everyone has good eye contact. I use two mics on the bass one at the f hole and one up by the fingers. Make sure everyone can hear well and then they should balance themselves. I rely on the musicians to let me know how well they hear each other. Most of the time its just minor ajustments. Al
