Recording

Over the past few weeks I have been recording, overdubbing and sequencing. I have used many processes including feedback loops and experimental recording techniques. Though I have encountered many problems along the way that I have now rectified.

Earlier this week I was overdubbing some drum recordings. Below are some photos of the setup of the microphones and kit.

Above (left) is a photo of the kit before setting up. Above (right) is a photo of the patch bay, how the microphone's signal into the studio through DI.

We used two AKG300s for the overheads, they gave a very bright sound (these drums can be heard on 'The Uncertain Eric Friston'

On the left you can see we used a Sennheiser E606 on the snare drum for a really snappy/metallic tone. we put the mic on the side of the snare as to not get in the way of Reuben when he was playing but we could still capture a great sounding snare. 

And on the right you can see the AKG D112 used to mic up the kick. The kit kept on moving while Reuben was playing (very enthusiastically), so we put a heavy amp in front of the kick so the kit wouldn't move.
