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.
