Stereo drums with just one AUSTRIAN OC818

It's cool when technology evolves and companies takes advantage of the possibilities. Some microphones now offer the opportunity to record the front and back of the capsule separately to either model the polar pattern in post, or to use it as a stereo microphone.
In this video I'm experimenting with the Austrian Audio OC818 as a single overhead microphone on my drum kit in my kitchen. The results are very pleasing!

I really liked the pseudo-MS thing with the middle attenuated a bit, sounded great mixed with the close mics!

[@hoborec]

Same! It actually worked really good collapsed to mono too. As a M/S should I guess 😅

[@22evan2]

Interesting, the unprocessed track, the transient perception is softer (not being pointing direct to source). It reminds me a little to some stereo recording setups for recording orchestra, really cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@hoborec]

Thanks, nice observation 🙌

[@lauriseppala4646]

Wow! To me this sound fantastic! Is there a disadvantage to use this single mic as a overhead mic? To me this seems like a no brainer to capture cymbals. I was thinkning to replace my overhead mics with this single mic. Do you still prefer to use traditional ways of capturing cymbals or has this mic been your go-to after you got it?

Which microphone sounds better with the Evo 16 interface, the Lewitt LCT 640 or the Austrian Audio OC818 ? And which one has a better software interface that lesr you have more control over the music?

[@hoborec]

Great question, they both sound really good. The software for the OC818 lets you some more stuff besides changing just the polar pattern. Also if you get the BT dongle for the OC818 you can “save” a custom polar pattern in the mic.

[@sagarkochar]

@@hoborec ok sounds interesting, but I hope BT is not too laggy or anything, but anyways that's just an additional feature, if everything is great about Austrian Audio with a great software even if it's more expensive then the Lewitt I might go for it, I just need like a one time investment kind of mic !..........I will go to some of the shops and check them out too and if I have any more questions I will message you 😊🙏
