In Reply to: Worst Bass Drum Sound Ever. Q? posted by Bunt on September 10, 2003 at 10:46:08:
Like Bill says, you might want to use a compressor first. I looked up that mic and the diaphram might not be able to take the pressure at the hole. Doesn't look like it's made for that application. Try it inside the drum with a comp. I copied this of a website about the CO4 mic:Designed to yield outstanding performance in applications requiring the miking of acoustic and electric instruments, as well as vocal performances. Excellent for stage or studio, the rugged Co4's versatility will make it a "must have" in any microphone mix. Usage Optimal Placement Electric Guitar Place microphone approximately 1-2" from and at and Bass a 90° degree angle to the speaker cone. Guitar Amplifier To reduce boominess, move the microphone off axis to the cone from 90° to 45°, or move mic from center of cone to either edge. Tom-Toms On double headed Toms place mic over the top of drum 1-3" and at a 45° angle to the drum surface and 1-2" in from the drum edge. On single headed Toms use above method or place mic inside Tom from underneath at a 90° angle from the center of head, 3-5", away. Snare Drum Place mic 1-3" above the heads, 1-2" in from the rim. Aim each mic at the top heads angled down about 45°. If the drum rings, tape deadening material to the head or use damping rings. For more “snare†sound place a 2nd mic underneath aimed up at the bottom of head. Cymbals Place microphone one to two feet above the top of cymbals. High-Hat Place 5 inches above outside edge at a 45° down angle. Brass 6-24" away, and on axis with the bell of the instrument. Acoustic Guitar Place mic 6-12" from where finger board joins the body.
