Love that funky snare sound so much. Great video👍🏼
The mics are great and I own the setoo.However the big shout on your video is the superb placement on perfectly tuned drums and polished cymbals, combined with excellent playing. You really know your kit and your gear. Great review. Thanks.
Very professional review. I'm amazed at the sound you were able to get.
Your straight forward and objective approach just earned you a subscriber :)
Amazing Tuned Drum Kit!
I use the D4’s on rack toms as well, sounds great too, I don’t hi pass them. Used them on a bass cabinet too, can sound great too.
HI Austin , nice review. OK, if we share ? We would like to put this on our DP7 page.
Yea, definitely! Thanks
@@isaacfenison6845 a polite “yes” and you say “idiot”. Relax.
Awesome! Great video, the DP7 will be my next investment, I have de i5 and D6 and they kickass!! Once again great job!
awesome review and I love this snaresound! *-*
Very good review. I've used the i5 for the last 5 years.
I got this mic pack used for $400 in pristine condition. Best investment ever.
I do however prefer large diaphragm mics for the overheads.
I also got a lofreq from Solomon mics too. It's incredible.
Teddy at Swaying Hill Studios That’s a killer price.
Great video! So informative.
Great review matey. I have the same kit myself, i added and an extra D4 for my second floor tom and run them into Auria on my Ipad via a Presonus 1818vsl.
After minor processing i am routinely blown away by the quality of the drum tracks i can achieve with this setup.
Amazing how well the raw tracks sound. You could almost get away with just the raw drums in a mix..
You're so right, it's mind blowing
You guys are right
@@iLoudwing i know, right?
Great Video mate. I love Audix mics when tracking and playing live. You got some great sounds for such a tight room and low mic count. On an unrelated note, What do you think of the Isoacoustic stands? ive been heavily considering investing. Have you found they helped improve your mixing and listening experience?
Maaaan those ghost notes! Solid
Thank you for the video! I think it's the best review of DP7 kit that I've seen.))
Great tips for me, as I'm also not an engineer, but simply a drummer that wants to have more or less qualitative recordings of him playing.
Special thanks for the D-Vice part, unfortunately it's pretty unclear of how they are meant to be used when you only look at the pictures on the internet.
The sound is pretty good, and I like the fact it doesn't need a ton of postproduction to get it to the right point.
Thanks again, don't know how it happened that I didn't know about this channel before!)
+Андрей Рафальский Thanks, glad you liked the video!
Man, those ADX51 sound awesome.
sounds great
Will these mic clips fit a wood hoop tom? Like the newer PDP Classic concepts?
Mind made. Gotta go for these mics
Very nice !
Hey Austin, would like to check with you. I'm contemplating between the DP7 vs the DP8 the ADX51 vs the SCX1? Which do you recommend?
I think more important than the mics is the fact that your drums sound great. And more important than the drums is the fact that you are a very tasty drummer who makes them sing! Well done.
Muy buen video.
Hi! Have you tried the SE Electronics Arena drum mics? If yes, how is it compared to Audix DP7? I am torn between these two.
Hi! What stand are you using for the overheads?
I'd like to stay with my Oktava MK012 overheads but D2/4/6 are killer!
I love your reviews and your StG segments. Super thorough but not boring and dry. Would you be able to a follow up video to this one that shows how you mix the drums through the interface into Logic? I'm running Ableton Live with an 8 XLR Scarlette Focusrite interface and I'd like to get into recording myself. It's kind of overwhelming on where to start and a "How To" video from you would definitely help kick my ass into gear. Thanks for all the great lessons!
Yea, I'm planning on doing some videos on recording and mixing, possibly a small series so stay tuned for that down the road...
Have you used lewitt dtp mic pack? A friend recommended those over these and I cant find any real comparisons between the 2 or even good demos like this one.
1 thing I found out from recording a lot years ago is to play hard not soft for more punch and overall better sound as far as rock iono about softer jazz beats or music but I know every experienced sound guy anywhere I recorded told me to play hard as possible for more flexibility overall so your not stuck with - sound to edit
Im trying to multitrack a whole kit into garageband. The only mixer input i can see are 1 and 2. 3-12 are greyed out. Its a behringer 2222x mixer. Essentailly, its only letting my multitrack from 2 of my 12 mics inputs. Help?
I don't like the device Tom mounts we use them on our set at my church they're always moving around or I hit them with the sticks, sometimes they fall completely off.
Great review man! i feel like the Audix Mics have some kind of special frequency response to boost/ attenuate some frequency which commonly make drums sound better, equivalent to using an EQ.. do you feel so too? Thanks!
Yea I think their frequency response is geared towards making the drums sound kind of eq'd from the start which some engineers probably don't like but I think most home studio drummers do.
Did you try adding a 2nd mic on the snare bottom? (maybe using only 2 toms taking one of the Tom mics on the bottom maybe that would work?)
You can always use a 57.
earned a sub. + like.
Nice shufflin’
Great video! I suggest you mic you snare top and bottom. It should open your snare sound a little bit and make the kit sound more solid
I used to do top and bottom but I eventually just felt like it wasn't really necessary for my videos anymore. It's good for helping the snare stand out more in a dense mix though so for those situations I think it's good to have that bottom mic for reinforcement.
Austin Burcham , great video and your playing has great energy and expertise. I do agree with Jukka though. You really can’t hear the snare rattle with just the Mic on top.
Recently i've been using some Audiotechnica mics on my drums, but definitely Audix is a great option too..
what's the exact model of your Audio Technica drum mic Sir? can you please do a demo with your drum kit? Thanks.
Very nice review. I love the dp 7 for drums. Great deal from audix. I recently got a scx one for my hats and an overhead eventually once I get another prob. Great lil condensor mic too. I rly like your ride cymbol, dark but still enough guts to cut through. Which model hhx is that one?
+Larry Tate 21" HHX Groove Ride
Just got the Sabian artisan hats. Love them.
Austin, These Wuhan's sounds incredible!!!!
Does the kit come with cords?
I’ve been looking at this exact set & the Shure PGADRUMKIT7.
I’ve never had to mic my acoustic sets over the years & these day I mainly play my Roland TD-25K on stage. However, my band has a HUGE gig in May & I will be using my DW Performance acoustic set.
This Audix set over twice the price of the Shure PGADRUMKIT 7 set.
In your opinion, why the huge price difference & how do the two sets compare in a live situation (no recording).
Thanks!
Hey! Maybe it's just me, but these mic's sound like they will need a lot of work either in the studio or in a live setting, especially since this guy knows what he is doing when it comes to placement and tuning his drums. If you have to do that kind of work for either a $899.00 or now, $999.00, drum mic kit, IMO, you're better off going with some inexpensive Behringer $20.00 or $25.00 mic's for the snare, and toms (top AND bottom), spend a few more dollars for an inexpensive kick drum mic, $68.00 for Behringer's overhead pair, and that still leaves you enough money to sneak a mic in front of the kick, and over the kick between the rack tom and the snare, and then some. If you have to put in the work anyway, why spend the extra money?? Carl
These Audic mics are frequently used on big festivals and is considered a standard in the live- but also studiocommunity. One reason is that those mics are very suitable and has a frequency response that suits the sound ideal of rock and pop, pre-tuned for this. The PGA is to be honest a entry-level mic-kit. My opinion is that that the price difference makes full justice for the end result, but with a limited budget the PGAs are a full worthy alternative to the Audix.
Man... Those drums are tuned!! How did you get them so in tune...? Teach me bruh... Lol
4:00 is it just me or does austin have cake
Thought I was the only one that noticed. ;P
What is cake?
@@SteveH4es according to Urban dictionary its a girl with a nice tight ass xD I mean in this example its a man 😂 Btw im also a non native speaker, thats why I had to google it
My opinion... sounds great! Rack tom sound beautiful! but that floor tom needs a thinker head. sometimes using the same TYPE of head on all the toms isnt the best way to go. make it sound less papery/plastic sound. Definitely wanna get these mics tho!
Could the d6 be used for a
16in floor tom
Probably more like an 18 floor
Yes I use that.
Yo man by any chance have you ever used the m audio profire 2626 I was thinking about getting this mic pack and that
I don't have any personal experience with it but I'm sure it's fine. Most of these interfaces are pretty comparable in terms of the end product you will get from them. I'd say try it out and see how it works for you!
Austin Burcham yeah that's about the only way, dude your drums sound amazing
Your pearl drums are the custom masterworks right?
at 1:45 look at the tom it says master so yeah he does
Hey Austin, when I record my drums I have a little problem with my bass drum sound.
I hear the bass drum through the OH's and the Kick Drum Mic. They are all in phase with each other.
When I mute the OH, the Kick Drum Sound is pretty good...
Maybe you'll read this and have a tip for me :)
Use the low cut filter ffs....
put a high pass filter on your overheads at about 80 cycles (80 Hz) and that will help out and also on the snare mic as well
What interface or converters are you using?
+Albert Serrano Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56
What is the track called at the end and where can i find it? Thanks :)
+Jason Bay It's called "Not Too Cray" and it's in the TH-cam Audio Library
What kinda of cymbal stand is in the video at 4:10??
It's a Pearl boom stand.
Unfortunately, I gathered some mikes over the years like Sures, Akg, Beyerdynamics, Sennheisers,... I should start to get some Audix, too.
Doesn't sound that unfortunate 😝
What should i use for an 18x16 floor tom?
A D4 if you want to choose one of these :D generally just take the D4 on your lowest tom and the other ones with the D2
where can you get the cables
Pro co EXM XLR
Is there any reason the drums dont resonate at all? Or do you like them that way for recording purposes?
A few things... My room is super dead with no ambience at all so that's a factor. The heads I have on my kit are pretty old so they don't really have a ton of life in them at the moment, didn't wanna buy new heads 🤑. Also, I tune the drums to be resonant but I do like to control the sustain and overtones a little bit with moongel, cotton balls in the floor tom, and a pillow in the kick. I like a more controlled punchy sound but I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a more open sounding kit because my style of playing is going more towards that kind of sound so I will be experimenting more with opening the sound up in the future...
+Austin Burcham Awesome,great video Austin!
Great RAW sound of your Room. How did you treat it?
+Miesn The ceiling and walls are all covered with fiberboard. I also have acoustic foam on the ceiling above my kit and I built 8 large acoustic panels w/ rockwool inside that are placed all around the room. Hope that helps!
@@abbdrums Hi Austin. Do you have the whole rockwool wrapped in foil or just one side of the panels? Any trouble with dust from the rockwool?
In the mixing process, I noticed everything becomes much more full sounding- especially the toms. Does this process happen in Logic? Still new to all of this, but am looking to pick up the DP8 kit with my discount from GC. Thanks for the review!
Yea, all the mixing is done inside Logic. It's mainly just eq, compression, reverb, and some saturation. All those things combined can really bring out a lot of energy from the sound that's not so apparent in the raw audio.
Does the overheads need phantom power?
Looking at my comment makes me laugh. I learn about it minutes after I posted it.
does it come with cables?
Elaine Morente no
WOW those cost way too much for the average Joe!!!
that mic set is more than many drummers entire kits minus cymbal costs, lol
Richard Williams yea if u buy a cheap kit
Yea haha if your kit is worth less than the mic pack your probably not ready to record anyways 😂 that said many good drummers can make a good sound out of cheap kit theres just much more to do with a well rounded kit rather than say some starter kit with real low ply shells
What about hi hat mic?
I wish they were still around $899. Damned inflation.
Vapenation
2.99 or 299
So. Many. Lip. Smacks.
