Now, two weeks later we’re resuming our recurrently scheduled recording session. I needed to allow you to in on a number of methods to benefit from recording drums in a lounge or a rehearsal house.
First, be certain your drums sound good. Nicely tuned drums are simpler to document since they sound superior to start with 스튜디오대관.
Studio rooms often sound higher however there is no cause your lounge could not give you the results you want.
The “Right” Microphone Method
I will solely be working with 5 inputs, so I can solely mike the set with 5 microphones. For the kind of music I am doing(folks rock) that is greater than sufficient. Nonetheless, I need to benefit from it.
I’ll use the “Recorderman” approach with the overheads. I’ve by no means tried this earlier than so it will be fascinating to listen to the way it seems. I need to maximize the usefulness of every microphone and decrease the room sound for the overheads. Subsequently, I believe the recorderman will turn out to be useful.
Maximizing Your Gear
I will be utilizing finances gear for all of this. Opposite to what you may imagine I haven’t got loads of mics and kit to throw round.
I attempt to maximize the usefulness of no matter I’ve started working with. I will be utilizing two AT2020 microphones for the Recorderman approach, massive diaphragm condensers for a (hopefully) larger sound.
I will even be spot miking the kick and snare with an Audix i5 on the snare and Audix D6 on the kick. Each are distinctive dynamic mics that can go well with my functions properly.
The drum equipment is within the nook of the room on prime of a giant rug. Since this may give me a uninteresting kick drum sound I will be transferring the drum-kit in the direction of the sting of the rug in order that the tiles on the ground will amplify the sound of the kick drum.
One Good Room Microphone
Now, I’ve used up 4 of my 5 microphone inputs accessible so what ought to I do for the fifth one? Regardless that I stated I needed to reduce the room sound for the overheads I nonetheless need to discover an ideal spot within the room to choose up an general room sound.
I will be inserting this microphone at a bit over waist degree. Principally in step with the highest of the kick drum or in step with the toms. I would like it selecting up the entire drum equally, not simply cymbals splashing round.
I am recording drums in a lounge that thankfully has pretty excessive ceilings. That is optimum because it permits the sound to maneuver extra freely with out bouncing off the partitions.
Greater ceilings and a much bigger room will provide you with a much bigger sound so the mixture of nearer overheads and a room microphone may give me the precise mixture of “stay” and “tight” that I want.
Outcomes Quickly…
So that is mainly what I will be doing. In principle I believe these strategies will work for my wants, however the drum recording session tomorrow will certainly inform me if I am fallacious or not.
