Earlier today I sat down and hit the kick drum and thought what on earth has happened to that. I immediately realized the snares were turned off. :) Bill and I will discuss these issues before we start printing. An interesting challange with controlling bleed is the requirements of different genres of music. With Pop, it's common for me to get most of the bleed, ambiance and room from the overheads and seriously limit bleed in the other instruments. However, with Jazz that aproach is simply wrong. This definitely requires consideration. I've thought about direct micing one instrument at a time while leaving the kit and a room mic at the other end of the room. That mic would pick up the room and subsequent sounds from the kit and be a seperate track that could be used at the discretion of the end user. This probably wouldn't work for everything but it's one thought. Good stuff Florian. ron > Also i think talkover is very important for a live > drum sound.
