Cheers matey!
Life was a bit crap for about a year or so - hyper stressful workplace political shenanigans - picked up now, new job helping a lot!
Tracking drums tomorrow with the band (well enough of it to make sense)!!! Using the X32 with a couple of digital stage boxes.
Nice sounding room, 28 tracks for drums, bass, keys (6 tracks for the keys!), and guitar, with a hint of guide trumpet. No messing!
Wanting a live-ish sound so doing this in a huge function room with heavy drapes over the windows for a guerilla live room. We've recorded there before and I was super impressed with how the room sounded.
Going to experiment with some of Moses Schneider's really incredible drum mic-ing techniques , because, well I can with 32 channels of input to futz about with.
Specifically his snareo, droom and wurst mics will be added to the normal setup. Plus a couple of more standard room mics (a huge old figure 8 ribbon well out front, and an LDC in phase with it)
With our music I've alwasy wanted to be able to drastically change the character of the drums through track sections and never had the mics to do that well - well tomorrow I might
Wish me luck!!!
