Studio session 1
Due to a lack of drummer, whom was essential to start my tracking we used our time to create specific drum samples, these included kick, snare and cymbals, these will come in handy when it comes to drum replacement.
To record these samples we used close mic'ing techniques, this included a d112 on the bass drum and an sm57 on the kick.
The reason for my mic selection was the d112 has a low frequency, this will allow it to pick up required frequencies of the bass drum. On top of this we used patched the TLA compressor to give a brighter sound. Personally i would have liked a fatter sound from the kick, but this can be done with some studio magic
The Shure SM-57 was chose as it has a well rounded fequency response allowing it to pick up all the required frequencies, once again we patched it through to the tla, Personally i am not too pleased with the samples as i believe the snare should have been mic'ed top and bottom and i dont believe enough signal was recorded, however this was my mistake which i will learn from for when tracking drum's for my final recordings.
Although the samples were recorded well i would like to look around for professional samples and make a comparison and decide which i would like to use.
