I have been expirimenting with saare track recording, so far I have used a

AKG C-414 about 1" from the top side polar pattern facing at a 45 deg angle 20db pad, very thin sound and pingy ( this snare is not a very fat sounding snare in the first place ) we try'd different positions but not much help ?

Hi,

What do you guys use for Micing up a snare/and where do you place the Microphone?

Too much hi-hat bleed on the snare mic

Since you guys know a lot of the hardware side, you must know a trick or two on the mic placing science...

I am recording a drum set, everything is fine except for the snare mic getting too much hi-hat signal, I am using a venerable SM57 into an Avalon 737SM (mercenary), using the snare preset...any suggestions..
