Very informative. When can we get that setup?
Haha I agree Ryan this had both great setup techniques and it showed how can get more out of one well placed Mic, than a Mic on everything …. but I too noticed the level of equipment and caliber of mics and boards which made proving the Mic placement section a wee advantageous to their discussion points haha
While educational, I found it painful to watch. Probably a matter of opinion, but I think it would have been better to have the host explain what was being done on the console. It was difficult to hear the person, while he was making adjustments on the console. I think I need something for a headache too.
I wold also be inclined to say that this was for a technically advanced sound console operator, not a beginner. It’s also not for an open drum set in a church, as the drums will be more than loud enough. The most advantagous drum to mic is going to depend on the type of music being played. Contemporary music would call mostly for a kick drum mic only.
The only application where multiple mics would be needed would be in a complete enclosure in a church setting. This would allow for overall drum volume control and then for specific mix value.
Again, most likely a matter of opinion. (Or common sense approach) Thanks,
