Great video, and love your beautiful studio! The best room mic set up I have seen was from an engineer named Moses Schneider. He placed two mics side by side right next to each other right in front of the kick drum facing away from the kick drum toward the opposite far wall of the drum kit. With this set up the room mics are basically doubling the distance of the room because the mics have to hit the far wall and come back the same distance to the mics. The best part is that there is no flame with the close mics because they are right in front of the drum kit just like the close mics of the kit and are in phase with each other because they are side by side close together. It would be interesting to hear this set up in your room!
Maaaaan, with all the content creators in the audio world these days it's so hard finding ones that give genuinely useful and authentic information like you gave in this video. Sooo many layers of value in this! Loved every bit of it. You can tell you really care and put a lot of time into what you put out. Thank you for your channel. The easiest subscribe I've made in a while! So stoked to see where this takes you, and all you plan to share in the future!
First, great playing and your studio is amazing! Also impressive that you didn't spill your coffee after falling in the snow! All the examples sound fantastic. If I had to choose I'd probably go with the 414's. Really love how the kick and snare sounded after you added the 1176. No idea what groove you're playing at the end but I know I dig it! :)
I have a royer 121 ribbon clone in the closet that sits right behind the door when you close it. The closet is full of random shit lol, but it gives a big sound. Man that thing sounds great.@@grayboxnashville
Sounded like it may have been an homage to "Scentless Apprentice". I was a bit surprised at the width you got from the medium spaced 414s in omni. Sounded great. A little surprised you didn't call out the opposite imbalance (right shifted image) in the ribbons. Good room sounds. Cool vid.
thanks Matt! great ear on the ribbons imbalance - we actually did address that in earlier drafts of the video but felt like it made the video a bit too long. Great catch!
thanks for watching Mike! The goal of this video was to compare room mic options in isolation, but you're correct that hearing them in the context of close mics and overheads is super important. We'll definitely consider that for future videos!
This video is awesome, listening on my footprint 01's doesn't hurt either! excellent job Cody!
PS you gotta try some m160s up in the loft in the same position if you haven't yet!
@@AndrewMasters thank you brother! and absolutely need to try those - on the list for Ep. 2 of this!

414's felt like they captured the kit and room the best. Fantastic video! Awesome to hear how your room sounds.
I agree! And thanks for watching Joshua!
I love the production value of your videos please keep them coming

big time - love this!
thank you for watching!
bravo
thanks!
this is cool but it'd be a lot cooler if you had close mics and OHs set up with the room mics
