My favorite is the 8-mic setup for more control. I always use this kind of setup to record my drums. You can always leave out some of the recorded tracks afterwards, but adding afterwards ...

I usually use a plastic cup and string to mic up my kit.

[@kevinturvey8213]

is that a digitally modified/emulated plastic cup & string though?

[@maomao180]

Using a guitar pedal to muffle the snare drum, classy

[@freeloader1985]

Curious how the preamp will influence the way microphone modeling

[@nadianiveiro5176]

Hello, on the Volt 476p the headphone outputs can be made into independent mixes that are different from each other? thank you

[@UniversalAudio]

No, they both follow whatever the Monitor Source is set to. BUT, you can use out 3-4 to feed a HP amp for a second discrete mix.

[@tana7779]

The sound of the drums, are they EQ'd?

[@moxxiefan2.055]

Big question for Universal Audio Digital (UAD). Is the Shape Toolkit VST plugin going to be a free separate VST plugin to download without any strings attached? Since i've watch a vid listening to a bunch of the built-in instruments & they sound amazing. So please let that happen UAD.

[@UniversalAudio]

Shape is exclusive to LUNA and LUNA is free!!!

[@moxxiefan2.055]

@@UniversalAudio But the biggest question remains. Will the free LUNA DAW on Windows have version patches / version builds with bugs fixes, improvements, etc?

[@UniversalAudio]

We are always working on LUNA to improve it and add features.

[@moxxiefan2.055]

@@UniversalAudio That's good to hear. When the free Windows version of LUNA has everything fixed & improved. Then i'll use it as my 2nd DAW. In the meantime, I'm using Mixcraft 10.5 Pro Studio as my main DAW of choice.

SD3... le meilleur...

[@pinkanimals]

Mighty UA wizards, will there be UA Wurli 200 before the end of the year? I know I'm acting like a petulant child, but I really want Wurlitzer from UA Santa for Xmas.. 😔 Will UA Santa work his magic?

[@UniversalAudio]

Sorry, we can't comment on any future developments or releases. We appreciate your interest though and encourage you to stay tuned.

[@pinkanimals]

@@UniversalAudio Not even a very subtle, vague hint, guys? A distant thing. Lets say, I want to play Supertramp's "Bloody well right" all day for my birthday, but I'm not sure if the jukebox is going to work. Will the jukebox be in order by this year's December, you think?

[@kevinturvey8213]

how can 2 mics directly ABOVE a drum kit ever make it sound like you're standing IN FRONT of the drum kit??? if you want to do that, put a "dummy head" type configuration IN FRONT of the kit!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

I'm a big UA fan, and it's not that it matters; those are some ugly-looking mics.

[@flyerstudio]

Sounds like a toy

[@cornerliston]

Lovely … but, that filming production technique you (and so many others use) not looking into the camera doing multiple camera angles-please stop that. It's just weird and I as a viewer prefer having eye contact with the person talking to me. I know the reason why you're doing it but no it's not a good way of keeping viewer focus.
