Recording Session (drums)

[wizzarts]

Hello everybody,

I have done a recording-session last weekend. Here is a rough-mix... Guitar, bass and vocals are only pilots. Have done nothing at all. Just imported the tracks into ProTools and configured the routing and sub-groups.

Not bad so far....

So if anyone needs assistence with miking a drumset... let me know...

[Joseph]

nice, though I'm a bit old fashioned and would like the snare to be a bit more open. But then again, that is so old school. Looking forward to hearing the finished product, Andy.

This is their style... we have recorded 4 songs which are a bit more, hmmm..., heavy metal... ? , ... well, hard to say, ... they like it more punchy....

[Kevin]

Sorry to say Andy but this is way too quiet and nowhere near enough bass. Was the kit miked as separate parts? Singer was good but he needs to go somewhere and catch a cold!

Let us all know when the next take is released.

Sorry Kevin,

this is only a routing-check to see that all dynamics and and fx work well. This is far away from a mix. I only have loaded the tracks and set up the sub-groups. All fader have equally -7dB. Guitar, Bass and Vocals are only a guide and will be recorded later on.

The miking:

2 overheads
upper snare
lower snare
inner bassdrum
bassdrum front ( 2 feet away )
toms
Hihat
ride

I was just impressed how good it sounds without anything done yet...
