Great room mic trick!

Great room mic trick! From a live stream long ago but still an effective mic placement. Working on an updated version but give this a try. Especially if you’re in a smaller room.

its often overlooked how important a room mic is when it comes to recording drums

[@SeanGonzalezMDHEXT]

It helps in post, but it's not really necessary. Overheads do more heavy lifting than room mics most of the time. Room mics are useful if you want a natural sound, but can otherwise be replaced with reverb plugins.

A great tip, I do this in my 15x19' booth when I want it to sound more like a big tracking space.

This is interesting and not expected - thanks!
What mic are you using?

[@Ultimatestudiosinc]

It's a Studio Projects CS5. They don't make them anymore unfortunately but if you find one I highly recommend it. I just put out an update to this video: th-cam.com/video/DykImxwpHyo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gianlucagigliotti4026]

Cool! What mic/polar pattern?

[@Tateisadrummachine]

Hey Charlie, I'm looking into getting a digital mixer for drums live and in my studio, you have an opinion on the Zoom L8? Thanks man!!

[@paulmattle6683]

The L8 is a great choice! You can record easily mic to individual tracks, so it's perfect for drums! I've had one for several years now and can't complain

[@AddiKolb]

Someone tell me please what brand mic is that, what kind of mic, sounds amazing!

[@Ultimatestudiosinc]

It's a Studio Projects CS5. It's a really nice mic with a lot of options.

[@impulseproman]
