Today we're welcoming the newest member to the Graybox Nashville mic locker - the AEA R88 Stereo Ribbon mic - and we're gonna be breaking it in and testing it out on drums! Mic choice and placement for recording drums is a big deal and we want to see how the R88 fits into that equation! Join us as we try out the AEA R88 on drums in a few different positions - as an overhead mic, a near room mic, a far room mic, aaaaand maybe one more surprise position?? Stick around to the end to find out. In all these positions, we'll showcase the R88 both dry and with compression, and give our review and thoughts. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks to @Ribbonmics for making such a killer piece of gear!✨
