1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,640
good morning boys and girls today i want
2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:03,720
to talk about recording and especially
3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,200
miking snare drums let's go
4
00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:09,450
[Applause]
5
00:00:08,620 --> 00:00:09,620
[Music]
6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,160
recording and miking snare drums should
7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,920
be easy right here's what most people do
8
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,080
they basically just throw a dynamic
9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,720
microphone on top of a snare drum and
10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,840
don't really care about anything else
11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,400
then they use loads of eq
12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,040
compressions some other processing or
13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,840
even just sample replace that snare
14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,800
i'm regularly shocked by how little
15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
people who record snares even
16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,760
professionals know about mic placement
17
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:47,879
and today i want to talk about exactly
18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,680
that because a microphone is a yeah it's
19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,120
a very powerful weapon you can use it
20
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,280
like an eq almost to get closer to the
21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,800
snare sound you have in mind as you
22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,120
might know for me it's important to get
23
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:03,719
things right at the source that's why i
24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,040
spent some time on my mic placement so i
25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,920
think it will only take me two to three
26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,920
minutes to give you the basic
27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,760
information pretty much all you need to
28
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:15,159
know about miking snare drums about
29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,880
snare drum mic placements and that's
30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,280
what we're going to do in this video
31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,080
before we get started let me say one
32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,920
thing as you might have heard i'm
33
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,080
working on my own little recording and
34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,640
mixing metal academy
35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,520
which is called the kohler audio cult
36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,880
you will be able to join the cult soon
37
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,360
i'm i'm doing that together with my
38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,520
friend warren ewart from produce like a
39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,280
pro and this will be a very very cool
40
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,520
place for yeah recording mixing metal in
41
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:50,439
a hopefully non-generic way that's my
42
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:53,159
plan so right now i'm very busy creating
43
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040
courses for that academy and i have
44
00:01:57,439 --> 00:01:58,439
already created i think three or four
45
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,520
hours of drum course material
46
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,280
and what you are about to see now those
47
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:06,759
two or three minutes of snare drum
48
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,080
microphone blah blah is a part of one of
49
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,039
the upcoming courses at the cola audio
50
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:14,840
cult
51
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:16,310
[Music]
52
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:29,959
let's talk about miking the snare
53
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,080
the most important microphone is of
54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,160
course the better head microphone and as
55
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,120
i've already shown you in the drums
56
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,560
basics video you can use your mic
57
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,680
position like an eq what you need to
58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,480
know is that the more you mic the head
59
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:49,319
of the drum the better head
60
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:53,319
yeah the more it sounds like the head so
61
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,560
you will get a lot of punch a lot of
62
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:57,319
lows from the head
63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,720
but it might sound a little dark a
64
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:01,879
little artificial because you're not
65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,800
really miking the entire snare you're
66
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,720
making the head only
67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,480
so if punch and low end is all you want
68
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,680
mic the head
69
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,120
but the more you move away from the head
70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,680
the more you also face
71
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:16,920
the shell
72
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:19,159
of the drum the more highs you will pick
73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,480
up so you should understand the mic
74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,720
position as an eq
75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,720
from darker and fatter to brighter and
76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,760
snappier so to say
77
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,760
and most people just go somewhere here
78
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,760
and like the head that's their starting
79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,200
position my starting point is somewhere
80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,080
here
81
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,280
at the edge so i'm miking both the head
82
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,080
and also the shell and then i can fine
83
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,480
tune the mic position giving me more
84
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:45,879
highs or giving me more lows and punch
85
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,280
depending on how the snare sounds so
86
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:50,599
that's one thing the other thing you
87
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:52,519
need to understand and i was talking
88
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:53,799
about that when i was showing you the
89
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:55,879
tom mic positions in the basics video is
90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,840
that
91
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,040
the more the microphone faces
92
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,680
the center of the better head the more
93
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,400
lows you will once again get
94
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,120
and at the edge
95
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:09,799
it sounds a little more twangy you will
96
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,120
get less lows and more
97
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,040
more mids which can be a nice thing but
98
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:17,959
mostly pointing at the middle sounds a
99
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,040
bit more
100
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,079
natural and powerful if you ask me so
101
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:24,199
i'm always wondering why so many people
102
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,440
mic the edge of the head because that
103
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:28,919
will give you a very mid-focused twangy
104
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,240
kind of honky sound can be good
105
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,400
sometimes but this is important to
106
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,240
understand if you go to the edge it will
107
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:37,479
sound thinner it will sound a little
108
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
more honky if you go to the middle you
109
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:40,759
will get more
110
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,960
of the low end punch overall the head
111
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,680
gives you the punch
112
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,440
the shell gives you the highs of the
113
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,960
snap
114
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,320
that's all you need to know
115
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:51,150
[Music]
116
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:18,990
[Music]
117
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,680
if you remember those two things when
118
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,600
you record snare drums you can use
119
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,160
your microphone like an eq and find you
120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,880
in the setting until you find the sound
121
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,360
that comes closest to what you have in
122
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:54,919
mind
123
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,440
