I accidentally found out that overloading a pencil condenser microphone on a high tuned snare gives it the punch that high tuned snares sometimes lack. I recommend to try.

What particular mic did you discover this with?

Got a drum session this weekend, so this is good timing. I've recorded a bunch of kits before but it's always good to see the process of a pro like Jens to see if there's anything new to learn.

Magic. I would like to hear the individual mics and any A/B adjustment that were made. Cheers.

The room with drum recording make the biggest difference. That and the player. You don't need 10 grand in mics to get a good drum sound. I use $700 mics in a bedroom and do just fine. The mid/side thing is pretty cool too. Takes some extra work but can do cool shit. Jens is a legend. The Amorphis albums are the best sounding stuff they have done.

Jens, when you have room mics at least 12 feet away from the kit, do you time align those room mics to the rest of the close mics or leave the delay?
@The_AbsurdisttАй бұрын
That is not a good idea as it defeats the purpose of the "delayed" room sound.
@mrcoatsworth429Ай бұрын
Part of what makes makes room mics sound so big is that delay. Definitely leave it.
@oldguysplaymetal5517Ай бұрын
I agree with you guys and I almost always leave mine alone. However, there have been very rare times where I put so much of the room mic in the mix that It kinda' flammed. They were about 20 feet away. I looked at the waveform and the first upward deflection on transients was 180 deg out of phase. I actually slid them up until it sounded "better..."

4 mics on a kick and snare. Bottom Tom mics Is wild. Kids will see this video thinking what he is doing is skillful and professional, it’s not. This is decision paralysis.

Not wild kids. If you have the inputs and mics why not have options.

Bottom tom mics is not that wild..especially if you're sampling the kit you're using in favor of other kit samples. Kick mics in general are kind of a waste if you're recording metal.
@ldjcАй бұрын
Given that 80%+ of the kick sound in most metal records is a sample, 4 mics seems like a waste of time.
