This is the second installment of "The Recording Process." This installment covers drum tracking. There will be a new installment in this series once a week until it is completed. The songs we record will be available as a free download in January of 2008 on my website, www.noahnoah.net.
In this Record Drums HOW TO, we cover the basics of micing overhead cymbals with the X/Y stereo micing technique. Our goal here is to provide some basic concepts and techniques for capturing a balanced sound and stereo image.
