slaphappygarry Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I used my Ns10 yesterday. Its a bloody good technique to have up your sleeve. Have either of you found the SubKick emphasizes the pitch of the drum? I have used them once and found it was doing something strange (maybe overtones or harmonics?)... I have never had the chance to a/b the Ns10 and Sub kick though and wondered what you guys thought. Ps - my earliest attempt was with a 12" driver. Oddly enough the kick drum hardly tickled it.

Some time it sounds best right up to the skin, other times it works better if you make some kind of a tunnel (I have a few pieces of rockwool of vairable lenghts I use.) Placement in the room, size of drum and the player can all affect the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sorry for the long delay guys. Been crazy busy. Here's one to keep you going... someone asked if I planned to put any art up around the place. I had a couple of things painted when I was i Thailand last year which I kind of planned to use in the lounge but my wife has decided she wants to put at least one of them up in the house. Here's a photo of it in situ: What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Is it as big as it looks? How's the studio coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks guys. The pic is about 4 feet x four feet. Studio is moving slowly at the moment as I've been really busy recording and mixing with a couple of big projects. More happening soon. Keep watching!

iamapirate Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Whats the current expected finish date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 When will it be completely finished? Who knows. The live room is now in use (working out of the old control room). There's still a control room and 3 more booths to be built and a lounge and kitchen to be refurbished. If I had to guess when it will be I'd say about a year's time.

Rimskidog Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Big news coming up in the New Year. Until then I thought you'd be interested in finally hearing how the room sounds. Here's a clip of drums from a project I started tracking recently. Haven'd done the full mix yet so this is just from the rough mix. There's a Zener on the kick drum and dramastic obsidian on the mixbus. I raised the levels for ya with a UAD precision limiter. Other than that, no other EQ or processing. For those who can't/won't download I've also posted the file on www.myspace.com/circlestudios (hmm, looks like the file may have been too big to upload here anyway) Happy New Year!

Rimskidog Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Not strictly a build shot but some interesting pics from this weeks sessions: we are shooting for a Amy Winehouse/Daptones kind of sound so went for a 1952 Gretsch kit mic'd primarily with a pair of AEA R84's 5 feet out but with the addition of a subkick, a KM84 on hihat and a cascade fathead 20-25 feet out. The R84's went to chandler TG2, the subkick to Chandler Germ, the km84 and fathead went to a pacifica. First up is the Gretsch and mics and 2nd up an action shot.
