When recording drums we experimented with different mic set ups and placements to try and get the tone we desired. All of these pictures were taken in our recording session that we had of the 29th of March. In our demos we only used one overhead and a snare top mic.
Kit used:
AKG D112 – Kick drum (We also tried the Audix D6)
Shure SM57 – Snare top
Audix i5 – Snare Bottom
Audix D4 – Rack tom (We also tried the Audix D2)
Audix D6 – Low Tom ( We also tried the Audix D4)
Audix ADX 51 – Overheads
When recording our songs we contacted multiple other musicians to see if they could help with our project. Overall we wored with
We did also contact Paul Hawksworth and Rhiannon Lister but both were unable to contribute due to scheduling clashes.
We currently have the multitrack studio booked out for Thursday the 22nd and 29th from 6pm. During these sessions we aim to finish the demos for the Title fight, Angel dust and Superheaven songs and begin recording the Pity Sex and Code orange songs with Sam Pickering, Frankie Frost and Konnor Brunson.
We are still yet to find a female vocalist that we can work with for our Pity Sex song.
We have the Multitrack studio booked tomorrow to record some quick demo tracks to show to the musicians we are working with so that when we organise a practice session they will arrive with an idea of what they are playing to.
So far we composed a Guitar track for the Code Orange song, the Title fight song and the Pity sex song.
