Recording snare drum can be one of the most important elements of a great drum sound, and knowing how to mic a snare with a few tips can help save a lot of time.
In this episode, I give a few insights on how I have achieved a great sounding snare drum, using easy to measure methods to place microphones on the drum, and some tips on how to point the microphone.
We cover much more than placing two microphones on the drum, but also give three audio examples of how each of the microphones contribute to the overall sound.
We listen to the top and bottom snare mic individually, and then together. Then we listen to how the overhead microphone contributes to the sound, and then finally the room microphones.
Harmonics and proximity effect is also covered in the episode, and how to best tune the sound so that you can use less corrective EQ during mixing.
It was a lot of fun to record this episode, and I'll be hanging out in the comments below for questions.
