    Default Cad mics on some vintage drums

    Just recorded this as a sound check for later.. wasn't so much worried about my playing as hearing the toms snare and kick


    These are 60 premier vintage drums with coated skins. the cymbals are vintage too so they sound like it. I'll be using newer cymbals when i record for real.

    either way.. this is as good as I'll get for sound with a $100 set of mics.

    other equipment was a focusrite saffirepro 40 into an old mac laptop using reaper.

    Oh and a contour for video mounted to a stand on my pearl masters kit.

    next to no eq/compression/verb and all that stuff ....... just gated everything. and a small eq to clean it up a bit

    its a little quiet , besides that its audible and tight

    good work

    might pay to lower the overheads a little and use them to beef up the sound a bit

    Thanks for the advice.

    I'm new too the whole recording/mixing thing

    I was trying to just make everything sound clear

    I'll drop the overheads down for my next recording.. maybe read up a bit more on the whole process

    If you do a x/y setup with the over heads it will sound more like a stereo image .you don't need to hard pan this left and right but more like 3oclock and 9.. And use the kick, snare etc as renformemt rather than the meat.

    This is better
    I used my regular drum kit
    the coated heads were killing me on the other kit trying to get them to sound as good as they do live.
    evens ec2's on the pearl's in this vid
    overheads much lower.
