Re: Not being judgemental

it's "correct" because every organ you try to overdub is going to be tuned to it. it's been a 'standard' for a long, long time, even if people sometimes tune around it a bit (there was a fad amongst conductors to tune the piano to 445 to get the orchestra to 'chase' and feel more awake a b...

no, i almost never find more than one mic useful, and I prefer the re20/sm7 in that application.

Re: Drum Recording Dissertation - Overheads And Phase Coherency

I think there's actually quite a lot of the bass drum mic in the mixes. Just perhaps not as much as the current (loudest thing in the world) trend on most records. Sometimes you want the bass drum to be 'roomy' like the rest of the kit, in which case i'm more likely to leave it uncovered. But often ...

Re: Drum Recording Dissertation - Overheads And Phase Coherency

I always like either an SM7 or an RE20... and they're fairly interchangeable in the bass drum for me, depending on what's available.
The SM7 is a tiny bit clicky-er, but it's easy to make them do the same things with EQ.

Roy Hallee told that story in print so I'm suspicious of someone who claims it's first hand knowledge, but leaving that aside, I believe it was The Boxer that used the Columbia elevator shaft, not Bridge.

Re: Drum Recording Dissertation - Overheads And Phase Coherency

Those are U67s And yes. There is an sm7 in the bass drum under the blanket and a km84 on the snare which is hard to see from that angle. (You can see it’s stand) In this case there are two STC 4038s out in the room. Spaced apart wide of the kit and pointing down at the floor so the dead side of the ...

My wife is Jewish as well and thinks guns are useless against armies. The right wing lie that “Hitler disarmed the population “ to facilitate the rise of Nazism is just that, a lie. Plenty of Jews in the ghetto were armed. They got shot while holding them. If you’re talking about defending yourself ...
