@@austinharmanmixes great content you have in here. Thank you! Question: I use a 15-inch subfill for kick and put it next to a drummer. They like the thump they're getting and it makes the bass drum sound huge. Every once in a while I hear this loud low frequency humming like a feedback. Do you think it is one of the drum mics causing the low freq feedback/humming.
Hey Issac- Thanks for the question. It depends on if you’re close micing cymbals versus having general overheads. If you have just a stereo pair, i wouldn’t because i would use them to help you get the whole kit sound. If you’re doing close micing, i would gate each one so that it only opens when each cymbal is hit. Great question.
Hey Thomas- We use the Allen & Heath Avantis. Feel free to send me an email: sales@thepenn.group I also have several videos on the channel of me using it.
Hey Great Question. If you’re just using one mic, I don’t recommend generally to gate that mic. You’d want the “environment” to be a part of the sound of the drums as a whole. You’d get undesirable “pumping” if you try to gate and get it dialed in based on the dynamics of the drummer. Hope this helps!
Best explanation ever after watching tons of videos throughout the years.
Thank you! You’re very kind!
This was very helpful. Especially being a new engineer to the live sound space.
Great! Glad you enjoyed.
Great video but can we put a gate on the background noise😊
Thank you Donald! You absolutely can. Just follow the same practices here.
Also- sorry I recorded this pre-rehearsal for a gig! It was loud.
perhaps lowering the gain on your mic would have helped@@austinharmanmixes
@@stradbass4766 it was recorded on an iPhone 🤩

@josephbisenio4984 it’s probably feedback in mic from your thump.
Hello, do you recommend add gate on the overheads mics? (Cymbals)

Hello question for you, what streaming console do you use? Currently we use a tri caster but i dont like the sound it provides any suggestions

excellent..thank u
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed.
What about one overhead drum mic? We don't have enough mics to mic the whole set.

@@austinharmanmixes I thought that might be the case. Thx!
@@Zebrajellyfishphoto you bet!
