Description
This is part of a quick recording for a relatively inexperienced punk band I recorded the other day. The four mics were connected to a Zaolla snake, connected to Apogee AD16X converters, lightpiped into an RME Fireface 800, and then recorded into Samplitude V10 Pro. There is absolutely no processing/effects added to the recording (no EQ, reverb, or compression) but it was converted from 32 bit float in Samplitude to MP3.
It was my first time using the 3 Zigma C-LOL-251 mics as drum overheads.
I just added the rest of the tracking info. The OH mic above the hi-hat was around 6 1/2 feet high and the one above the ride was just a little lower. In the past I have had many recordings where the hi-hat and ride sound far away and I liked how the CHI C-LOL-251s kept them close and clear in the mix.
The ride sounds good, as do the cymbals of course. What did you have on snare?
