Optimum Drum Micing choice

Forums

I'm recording a 2 piece rock band and I'm wanting to get a very loud drum sound... kind of like a dirtier black keys, and I'm working in a decent sized studio but I'm a little overwhelmed with my selection of gear and thought i'd ask for some advice on my selections.

Im recording with Pro Tools HD3 with a few outboard pres and a Yamaha DM2000 digital console.

Microphone Question

Forums

Hey everyone,

I record a lot of voice over/vocals and I want to know what you guys do when you get a high-pitched voice like a character actor or singer who screeches - like Billy Corgan or similar voice.

Is there a default microphone you reach for when you get a screechy voice in the studio?

Do you deaden the room more so there is less slap back for louder singers?

A microphone, colloquially nicknamed mic or mike is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal. Electromagnetic transducers facilitate the conversion of acoustic signals into electrical signals.
