Gearbox Episode 4 - Bodhran Mic Shootout + Interview with Josh Jernigan

In this episode, we do a short mic shootout on a bodhran and then Ryan gets to know Josh Jernigan - the percussionist from the Irish-Americana-Folk group, Wendell. All mic-shootout audio in this video was tracked live from the mic shown into an X-32 board with no added EQ, compression, or effects. Filmed and recorded at Tuneden Live in Nashville, TN.

Great video - thank you

[@fletrik]

Great discussion - Ronan was also one of my inspirations and some great feedback on mic's. Im also interested in clip on mics to the Bodhran (wired / wireless).

I'm trying to figure out how to mic a McNeely bodhran also. Did you try the gooseneck mic that Paraic McNeely sells on his website ?

nice mic shootout but idk if the mic levels were mixed properly, sounded like it was peaking quite a bit on the accents

[@TunedenLive]

Thanks for stopping by! The bodhran audio was recorded straight into the board with no additional eq, compression, or effects to give an accurate representation of each mic as-is. Gain levels were not clipping at the time of recording and on review on 2 sets of studio monitors, we can't hear any clipping. When you say accents, do you mean the low-end down beats or the top-end up beats?

Both wrong with the ‘ol 57 to my ear 👍
