It's cool to have the mono OH capturing the kit and groove in the verses and bring in the stereo OH for the choruses. Or just crushed the mono mic. It was just fun to have another option to play with. I also find that with a mono OH the panning of toms and spot HH and ride mics stand out more.(07-12-2020, 08:07 AM)BKM Wrote: Also, if you just want to come here and kick me for only recording one overhead mic instead of the stereo pair I had actually set up, then this is fine as well. Just be aware that you can't kick harder than how I have already kicked myself.Actually, to be honest, I never tried mixing drums with 1 OH before and to be perfectly honest it turned out incredibly. It maintained a solid centre image in my mix and the room filled out the sides. Who would have thought!
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
