New mics + some pictures...

[GeertSamuel]

I just got my hands on 2 Rode NT5..a stereo set ..made me sooooooooo happy....

Anyway...after that I took some quick pictures of my desk and room where I do my stuff....I just moved everything, so it's a bit of a mess...and I still need to get my rack to put my 19" stuff in....

I now have 1 MOTU1224, and I want to expand with another, and a good mic pre in front of it...any ideas? (Seizure would come again with the Audient ....so any other thoughts)
Also, I want to get some room mics when recording drums....more ideas on that are also welcome!

I can give you some samples if you want? I have been using them for about three years now.

Dooo it! Any chance on just OH samples?

I've been using NT5s on OHs for the last 2 years. Sound frickin great. The DMC track on my site/myspace has them on OHs, so you can check em out there, after processing and all.

They're naturally a bit hyped in the highs which means they lend themselves well to cymbal mic applications, and also bottom snare mic'ing.

Completely agree 100%. For some reason, I was always a mic snob when it comes to tracking drums...I always used either c12s or u67s for my OHs. However I did some recording for a friend and he had those, and they blew me away! Now I use them all the time for ride/hat mics in place of my 451s. You're gonna love em I promise.

Here you go:

It's a 24-bit wav file. Three NT5s totally unprocessed. Mic preamp was Focusrite ISA 428. Some photos from the sessions:

I've used NT5's before and really liked them.

Daunt - thanks for that! I'm really digging how little kick gets in, and how present the cymbals are over the snare, as well as the nice image of the toms.

I know what I'll be picking up for OH's.

 

[Ronnie_Rocker]
