Hello,
I´m going to record one song with my band (prog/modern metal) and had a chance to use my school´s pretty good studio.
-I will record china, hihat, and ride with own mics also, never done that before, so which type of mic for those and how to do mic placement? How close and over or under the cymbals?
-Which kind of preamps should I prefer for bd,snare,oh etc.? I have UA 4-710D 4 ch tubepreamp, Metric Halo 8ch and Presonus 8ch Digimax to choose for.
- How about ambience mics? Stereo or mono, which kind of mic? Placement? The recording room is about 30-40m2 and 3m high with few heavy moveable damper walls.
I try to use samples as little as possible, so I want to do recordings well. The sound I´m aiming for is Jens Bogren, Andy Sneap sound a like
Albums: Soilwork-The Panic Broadcast, James Labrie-Static Impulse, Symphony X-Paradise Lost, Devin Townsend-Addicted.
Have to mention that I´m the drummer and I know that a lot of thanks to those great drum sounds goes to very good drummers and well tuned drums. I try to do my best
