  • Great tutorial and very specific info... only problem is this video seems to be only putting out audio through the left side... whether its a stereo mix out one side, or just the actual left audio i dont know. but it sorta makes the whole video pointless since i cant see how your overheads are working with the whole kit.

  • @Hilariocrocy yeah, sorry my mistake. The mixing videos later in the series aren't mono, just seems to be this one! oops!

  • do u have the swine flu or something?

  • @clanofhyrule no, you must have caught it from your mum!

  • Nice vid man. Got a few quick questions for ya...

    Im not familiar with the SE3 mic's, what didn't you like about the C1000's vs the SE3s? How do they compare to something like a SM81 or a C414?

    Have you ever used the original D12 instead of the D112? Im not a huge fan of the 112, too much attack for my taste. I've been using the B52 but thinking about picking up the Audix D6

    Good vid's man! First Ive seen from you, hopefully there are more!

  • @moconnellsyr c1000s are worse in every way. Literally every way. But 414s are a different league to both c1000s and SE3s. Haven't used an sm81 or D12 so can't comment.

    But regarding kick mics I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that for the hard rock stuff, it barely matters what you're using as the tracks are so heavily processed. And obviously for guys who trigger 100% wet, you're not hearing *any* of the original sound anyway!

  • dont say "ghetto" its offensive to us niggaz

  • This guy looks high as shit.

  • What software did u use to record

  • hmm this isnt exactly ghetto recording considering your using "industry standard" mics. I would say using cheap vocal mics and Audacity would be ghetto.

  • i recorded my video with 2 mics and i think it turned out okay. not great, same as my playing :P

  • What camera would u recommand for recording that is cheap?

  • if miced properly you can record drums with one mic
