Also I've been side micing the snare lately. Gives a big body sound. I tend to get enough top from the oh's. So I just compress the side mic and blend it in for a consistent snare level. Definitely gotta check the phase with the oh's this way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Snare micing....How do you do it?
Yesterday I got to try out the Telefunken M80 on snare for a blues project I'm working on.
I found that I only needed the top of the snare mic'd. I was very impressed with the sound and the rejection of the hihat. Most importantly, the drummer was really happy with the sound straight away. I will now be keeping my M80, I've found a great use for it!

Re: Snare micing....How do you do it?
Whenever I record music (fairly rare these days) I still go back to SM57 top and a Beta57 on the bottom.

Re: Snare micing....How do you do it?
Shure SM81 with the 10db pad engaged, top mic only. It needs less EQ than a 57. The off axis sounds, like the hi-hat, are much smoother than a 57. If I think the drummer might whack the mic, I'll use a 57 instead.

I don't quite agree with the pre-amps, but they will impact the tone of the drums, but more often than not, I just run all the drums through the same Pres, as to add consistancy. And moongels, indeed. If you have none, just use some folded toilet paper and duct-tape. PR-30 -> HHb Radius 50 for Snare top Oktava MC-012 with Card Cap. & 10dB pad -> Focusrite Voicemaster Platinum. A fairly clean sound with some balls. |
