Jud Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I just wanted to mention that anyone who enjoys well recorded classical music should take the opportunity to get a code and download these. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

Mario Martinez Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 We have got some new samples !! Yesterday, we had a local drummer come into our studio and improvise some solos for us. The drummer is Carlos Javier García Magaña. The make of the drums is Gretsch and the model is Renown '57. We recorded these drums the exact same way we record everything else. The only thing that is different is the fact that we had to lower the mic gain by 24dB because the drums were so loud Just like we did with the flamenco samples, everybody is welcome to download these drums samples. Who wants to try first? Mario Martínez Recording Engineer and Music Producer Play Classics, classical music at its best Link to comment

And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

Mario Martinez Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Here is the sketch of the drums recording: The proportions are real. The blue area represents the stage. The person in red represents the microphones. The drums are Gretsch Renown '57. The cymbals are Zildjian K series. The mics are 7'8" away from the bass drum (ORTF setup) Mario Martínez Recording Engineer and Music Producer Play Classics, classical music at its best Link to comment
francisleung Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thank you Mario for the download code. I went into the Gretsch web trying to find out how many cymbals and toms in the set before I listen. Now that you have provided the sketch; it's great. Will listen tomorrow and feedback.

Mario Martinez Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Interesting that you put the mike behind the drummer. That explains why the positions seemed mirrored from a typical setup. Yes, we placed the drums so that the drummer's back would be facing the mic setup. He suggested we do it this way to hear the cymbals and drums placed relative to his playing position during playback.
