Hello!
My band The Experiments just released our new album, that we recorded ourselves. You can find it at our website for free: http://theexperiments.com
We used the following gear:
We recorded in Pro Tools with a Project Mix I/O (8 channels) and 2 more channels though a ART DPS II into the Project Mix's ADAT in.
We used the following mics (drums):
Overheads: Oktava MK-012-01 (pair)
Kick: AKG D112
Snare: Shure SM57 (under)
Rack Tom R: Sennheiser e609 silver
Rack Tom L: Audix f10
Floor Tom: AKG D11/XLR
High Hat: CAD pencil condenser
The snare we did under because no matter where we put it over, the drummer hit it with his stick. That's also a big reason we used the Sennheiser on the tom, it's low profile kept it from getting hit. In retrospect, I think miking the snare under gave us too thin a sound.
The guitars we did in the same room (different day), with the Sennheiser on one speaker and a Shure SM-7b on another.
Vocals were done in a bathroom with the Shure SM7b
We're on a budget (who isn't) and that was the best we could afford.
