Drum Session Clip-High/Low end Gearslutz Gear

asagaai · 28th September 2008

Hi all

I am finally pretty pleased with a drum session going straight to harddrive-where for the first time I used compression on every mike while tracking- I did 2 weeks ago for a client-who has allowed me to put up a song on my myspace-still in progress-the clip is of drums and electric bass. Gear used was gearslutz pimped as follows- you can hear song by going to my homepage via gearslutz tab-is called Carnival Ride- is a dirty blues rock type number:

Gear:

Conversion-all audiofire 12 clocked by cranesong Hedd-all Lynx synchro off.

Snare-Beyer 201->sebatron VMP->sebatron nitrous-Audiofire

Kick-Sen E602->Pacifica->Speck ASC EQ->sebatron nitrous-Audiofire

Overheads-Beyer M160->Adl 600->Buzz SOC1.1-> Audiofire

front kick- Pearlman TM1 high cut in->seb VMP-Buzz essence->Audiofire

Tom 2 ->SM57-Pacifica-Portico 5043-Audiofire

Rooms-Blumlein Fathead 11-Sebatron VMP-ART PRO VLA11-Audiofire

Electric Bass-DI-Chameleon Labs 7602-ART PRO VLA 11-Audiofire

The only mixing has been using chameleon labs 7602 eq on snare and kick-all other mikes only panned-no eq or further compression. The M/S Blumlein Fatheads I coded to XY stereo.

The entire mix I ran out DAW via Hedd through ADL600/Buzz SOC1.1/neve Portico 5043 back into DAW via Hedd with pentode at 5 and tape at 3.5 .

I am rather amazed at how little I have needed to do to anything other than the kick and snare.

Anybody else digging results using compression on all mikes when tracking? I really thought about the sonics of all my compressors and matched them to the mikes/drum kit- and only used about 3/4 db reduction reasonably softly on each line in.

I wanted to try to get a heavy sound straight to harddrive-hope I got there.

Cheers

Sounds like you got some phase type issues on the overheads.

Ok- just placed in the electric guitars into mix.

I assume that you do not like the sound of cymbal wash Mr Adams? Cymballs and ride do form part of the instrument no?
