Heard a rumor that each drum/percussion instrument will have a mic on it. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
It will be one hell of a recording fo\' sure.
while I\'m not doing audio, from past expierence and conversations with adrian and vallo, don\'t count on it. It would sound horrible that way - way too muddy. Drums are so loud that you get whats called bleeding (when one instrument can be heard in the background of another track, like the guitar really quiet on the vocal track). thats why drums are always behind walls or in another room during studio sessions. It would be pointless to mic everything.
More likely, the mic setup will be a bunch of overheads that are catching everything, and then the important things having mics, like bass drums, snares, djembe\'s, ect. everthing else will probably be groups (like all toms getting 1 mic) or just the overheads. Don\'t worry though, it will still sound sick!
