[zek021]

what type of mic should i use? dynamic or the capacitor type?

thanks for answering my question..

[recordingrevolution]

@zek021 Try them both :-) In this video we are using a condenser mic and it worked well.

[zek021]

@recordingrevolution thanks..  this sounds great..

[Grainband]

Hey I used this technique and mixed with some kick mics , its the best sound i have ever captured. Thanks

[Rossdrum97]

What mic would you recommend? and will it be compatable with a kodak ZI8 Pocket Camera?

[siwatbcc]

what microphone you use in this video?

[imacomputer101]

i'm trying to figure out how to get this sound of drums from this song "Toro y Moi - Divinia"

[imacomputer101]

@imacomputer101 This guy plays all instruments. A one man band.

[10PKOR24]

[asioguna]

BIG WOWWWWWW!!!!

[majestytd]

Hey I don't know if you already answer this question to other youtuber yet or not, if you already did please answer it again in a simple and easy way to understand. My question is I got 2 mic setup already and video myself playing a song. So the video and the mic are in a difference setup, so how can i get that sound with mic that I already play go into the video I just recorded?

[recordingrevolution]

@majestytd You simply import your recorded audio into your video editor and replace out the audio of the video.

[thedebo777]

Could a Shure SM57 work?

[recordingrevolution]

@thedebo777 No harm in trying.

[henrytdsimmons]

@thedebo777 Did it work?

[Lainey37]

Wicked sound!

[xXPinoyplayCoDXx]

where is the mic connected to?

[recordingrevolution]

@xXPinoyplayCoDXx An M-Audio interface, the ProFire 2626.

[xXPinoyplayCoDXx]

holy crap BOSS sound bro thnks

[drummerboy9551]

im starting my own recording studio, and i was wondering if the mxl 990 would get a good sound of the drums?

[recordingrevolution]

@iDrumCover I believe we used an Audix SCX-25

[MrJagmarbra]

Can every microphones record drums ( behringer C1 for example)?

[MaghoxFr]

Mate, your channel is awesome and this is waht I needed. Advise on how to do a quality record with a budget gear. You are a huge help. Thank you very much.

[TheKiki1292]

would i need to set my mxl condensor mic on low for it being so close to the drums?

[officialkidrauhltv]

how do you get your mic connected to your camera to sync the sound? please help?

[recordingrevolution]

@officialkidrauhltv Nothing is connected to the camera. I simply take the recorded sound from the mic and replace the camera's built in audio and line it up.

[MaghoxFr]

@officialkidrauhltv in case you are stilli nterested, there's some apps out there that in a NLE they recognize your mic take and sync it to the cameara built in mic take.

[GCAUFilms]

this guy is good

[JamieJWSmith]

Hmmm will this work well with an sm57 pointing towards the snare?

[raaayxsdx3]

Flawless sound.

[ThissRoberto]

Hi Graham. I want to record drums with an Oktava mk220 with 140 spl. But I'm afraid i can damage mic in this position cos it's a very loud drum part. What can I do to prevent damage? Or there's nothing to be afraid of?

[Osurielp]

WOuld this work with a behringer B2 . Can I record a drumkit like that or is this only ideal for for live performance?

[recordingrevolution]

@Osurielp The B2 would work great on this. And yes you can do this for a recording. Totally.

[dnkzz]

is that a chick corea tune?

[Bassisbeastiful]

Sounds great! Not to mention he's also good at drumming....

[NBreidenbaugh]

Umm... You just solved all of the recording issues my band has been struggling with for months now. We'll record a demo using this technique. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!

[jkefalas1]

This is really decent, but you would at least need to clone the track and boost the bass drum EQ range if you wanted the bass drum to cut through the mix, and maybe the same for the cymbals as well. This is great if you only have one mic though, but I'd have to say you need two to do it right.

[bboypinoy21santos]

how would you EQ the drumkit sound with that one mic with a mixer?

[recordingrevolution]

@bboypinoy21santos Totally depends on the rest of the mix. Ideally you shouldn't have to EQ at all.

[recordingrevolution]

@TheGthomasn Sure it could work. It's worth trying!

[corey666171]

in russia it mic cost 3000$ thats way good sound=)

[himl994]

@corey666171

In Soviet Russia microphone buys you!

lol jk

[hhentz61]

Very good, helpful video. What mfg, and model is the mic you're using?

[romodrummerjz]

@hhentz61 that mic is called the Audix SCX25A

[BookofIsaiah]

I've never seen or used the technique before. Thanks!! I wonder, I am going to be recording some live jazz in a small club, would this be a good way to mic the kit or would it allow for too much bleed from other sources? Just curious.... I had been planning on using the close-mic on each drum with two overheads. What do you think?

[bullardsJoe]

Now as long as you don't have animal beating the top of the microphone you might be alright!

[ruzaki007]

i think that the best way .. to record drums is electronic drum ;)

[romodrummerjz]

@ruzaki007 electronic drums sound fake

[ruzaki007]

@romodrummerjz no .. E-drum with toontrack sound real ;)

[romodrummerjz]

@ruzaki007 i misunderstood you i thought you meant electronic drums as in V-Drums or some electronic drum set.. yes with todays technology software drums does sound pretty real

[corey666171]

i dont beleve)

[LukeSock]

This was incredibly useful.

Keep up the great work, Graham!
