Hello all,

If you mic the top and bottom of a snare, should one of the mics have the phase inverted?

does it effect the phase depending on where the two mics are placed/ pointed?

thanks.

My board only has 4 mic preamps. Any suggestions for a nice pre for kick drums and/or snares? I'm not really looking in the high-endrange of $4,000...Something reasonably priced around $300-400 that is crisp and punchy. I'd welcome any suggetstions even out of my price range; I could always make it part of my "wish list." This is for a live submix to our main mixer during gigs.

I recently recorded a standard rock band with 9 mics as follows:
Beta 52 - Kick
Snare Top: Beta 57
Snare Bottom: SM57
High Tom: SM57
Low Tom: Beta 57
OHs: Earthworks TC30s
High Hat: Kel Audio HM-1
Room Mic: Mojave MA-200

Hi everyone!

I am using right now 2 sm57's for the snare (1 on top and for the bottom), and it sound pretty good. But I am thinking to try some other different mic for the bottom snare to have different snare sound option.

Any suggestions? What mic do you use or you like?

What are some techniques for reducing splashy hi-hat bleed in the snare mic during tracking? When I compress the snare during mixing, there is way too much hi-hat bleed. I'ved used soundreplacer in the past, but I find that it eliminates the subtle nuances of the drummers performance. Please advise.
Thanks,
Benny

very strange?
I am buying bunch of drum mics this week.

Has anyone any ideas of how i can reduce the spill from the hi-hat I'm getting on my snare mic.

Hello,

I am trying for the first time putting a mic on the bottom of my snare (sm57 on top, Audix d2 on bottom) and am curious about phase.

hey there!
whenever i record drums, i end up with a rather dull snare sound..
