Yes or no?

I'm getting a good solid, punchy-with-click kick drum sound, but what I'm really after is that pillowy sound that's currently popular. It almost seems i'm hearing a trace of the reverb tail prior to the click. Is this a dedicated reverb setting on the bass drum channel, or some kind of reverse gating?

Im looking for some recommended mic setups/placements for Micing acoustic guitars, kick drums and high hats. ive searched around a bit but would still like more suggestions.

thanks in advance!

Is it a good idea to buy two different kick mics, to record two kick drums then sample the best one and replace sounds of the other one? I already have Electro-Voice ND 868 and I like it. So I am thinking of getting either a second one or an SM91 for example.

Hey guys, been a while since iv been on here. Iv been doing a bit more recording since last on and they were mostly metal bands. The problem iv been having most was on the kick drum, I cant get that slapping click like on most metal drums like from bands like fear factory, strapping young lad, shadows fall etc...

I have an Audix D6 that I use on the kick. 75% of the time I place it about 2-3" outside the sound hole.

so I got a D112 but it seems that there is a world of trial and error in front of me so I just want to ask to make sure that THIS is the kick drum mic for me.

Hello,

I am looking for opinions on which of these mic's might best suit my needs. The D112, Audix D6, or the beta52.

I am doing live recordings in clubs via a digi002 and an octopre.

Im looking to mike a drum set One as an overhead one on the kick. but i have a restriction. I'm using Tascam us 122 to track it. If i turn on the phantom power it will be for both mics and not one.

would it be ok to mic the kick with the C02 (penicl mic)

Hi everybody! I'm new here, but producing music is my life (I'm only 21 now) and I have been reading EVERYthing about the subject for the last 4 years. I absolutely LOVE compression, ENDLESS eq, and volume balancing, and basically every technical tidbit I can get my hands on... yes, this is my whole world, and yes, I think of everything I ever hear in terms of frequencies.

hey all, i really love this site. i could get free insights on how to work w/ DAW to help expand creativity. I'm still new to this so i hope u guys dont mind my q's. i have recently found the potential of daw's to make quality music. i use fruity loops with all the sliced beats n stuff. and use adobe audition n Audacity as my editing progs.
