    lol- "no give" he he


    seriously though - you nearly need to be superhuman to cut a good feeling drum track to a click with every hit perfect sounding in level etc - very few people can do it well ( and no guitarists can ;-) )

    im still working on it ;-)

    actually im gonna start a thread on it .

    This might be of interest - perhaps Tweeky might comment on the mics, some of which I'm not familiar with?

    It looks like this is going to be a series, so whilst this video is limited info wise hopefully the ones to follow won't be.

    Funny I was shown that mic facing the floor thing by a New Zealand dude too. He used it to pick up really low bass frequencies from Double bass in a orchestral score and use it to feed the subs in a surround mix. "TLM-170 mic'c taped to the floor facing down.

    Bass frequencies "stick" to or travel close to surfaces like walls and floors. Not sure what the effect is called. I reckon theres a proximity thing going on there too.

    Re-amping drums is a real fave of mine, always very big on the combo in the stairwell vibe.

    like the trick with the auratone on the snare drum too...

    Very good!
    I learned a few things there.
    Can't wait to get back at a drum kit.

    Actually, interesting that he was using so many condensor mics on the kit. Particularly snare, I'm wondering how relevant this is these days since that set up would have been going to tape which would have softened the transients of the hits.

    I remember some discussion about old KM-84's being too bright now and that they were good for analog but too bright for digital recordings. The sony c-38 is a very bright mic too, I always use try use one for a room mic.
