Kinda sad because I really like that plugin, but at least I got my drums back. I think it may be time to read the manual again, the plugin is supposed to help avoid phase issues but in my case it was introducing them.

Thanks anyway for your help and all the great stuff you put out! Hi Graham, been following your youtube channel for a while now and its awesome, quick question: The microphones need to be condensers or I could use a pair of sm57 or sm58?

There are no rules, but I prefer condensers. They pick up the cymbals a bit better and overall are more sensitive than dynamic mics. But use what you have! Nothing new!!! This old tip is the begining of the job , in scool or live radio jazz recording … i make the same 40 years ago!!!

Is not usefull in all situation? Love the site! Just so tired of all the have-to:s and must-do:s in the average studio forum. This site has really given me allot of self confidence when it comes to recording.

Do you recommend to try the recorderman or would it be better to just use the sm7b as an overhead and the sm57 to record som kick to blend in? Hi Graham. Great videos and tips!

I am just starting to expirament with home recorded drums. What is a general guidline for panning the overheads with this technique? It all depends on what you like. I tend to pan recorderman drums about halfway Too wide sounds weird to me.

Are you adjusting your gains, panning or volumes accordingly, or straight from the mics you are in balance? I gain match the preamps on kick and snare hits as best as I can. I can pretty much get an almost perfectly centered kick and snare this way. Unless one of my mics is more sensitive than the other. I am a drummer but fairly new to recording. I also am on a very small budget in buying my mics, but I want to make sure I get ones that do the job.

Would you say any small diaphragm condenser mic would work? Do you think one would work better than the other? Do you have another suggestion? This vid is a stroke brilliance. You probably would need to listen back to the recording and see. You could always line up the 3rd mic visually in your software so that the kick and snare are more in line with the other two.
