so tomorrow im heading into a rather large studio

[RichMinerva]

to track some overheads and do some re-amps

i have these mics at hand

https://helios.hud.ac.uk/sengbr/Joomla/micpdfs/Mic Matix Original(npl).pdf

and i was thinking for overheads use a pair of c414's but what would everyone suggest for spot mics?

these will also be going through an api3124+

i have a selection of golden age pre-amps too

any ideas guys?

 

[ahjteam]

what do you mean tracking some overheads? you mean e-kit + cymbals?

the ekit is already tracked so im just going to track the overheads seperately as we have a full day to use it

Use the Neumann KM184 for O/H and 414's for spots

just one neumann up high then the 414's for spots?

 

[JamesNorman]

No the pair man, then 414's as spots

 

[RichMinerva]

Since I have the use of all this stuff I'm thinking of sampling my drummers custom snare,

Which mics and what pre's and where and you get the multisamples for free

 

[RichMinerva]

you have an hour before i go to sleep then it will be too late haha

 

[arv_foh]

shure beta 57 on snare top and regular 57 on snare bottom

km184s for overheads

api pre's

 

[RichMinerva]

then you should have some samples in the next couple of days

 

[BLUElightCory]

They've got some crazy awesome mics.

You should also check out the DPA and Earthworks mics on overheads/spot and the Beyer M201 on snare.

Coles 4038's make great overheads....

 

[KBMoser]

seems like a silly question. if you have access to different mics then try them all out.
