Wow, four mics for the kick. I've never heard of that before, but I'm used to working in places and with people with only a few mics to spare. Impressive though, I'll try it someday, when life offers an upgrade package. Just out of interest, why four mics on the kick? And why only one on the snare? You could use two, one at the bottom and another at the top part of the rim? Well, I'm obviously feeling extra inquisitive today. _________________ David Eagle www.soundclick.com/davideagle ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Muir To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 4:05 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: recording drums delta 44 Rod, the more mices you can use, the better. I would use aminimum of 4 mice for the kick, 1 for the snare and 2 overheads. If you have any extra inputs left then, close mice the toms as well.
