As an aspiring drummer myself, I’ve struggled to record drum kit in any way that I’d be proud to share. But I recently came across this guide from Gideon Waxman, of DrumHelper.com who runs through the entire process. Recording drums is an art in and of itself. Gideon’s article does a nice job helping you get up and running in this arena.
Learning to Record Acoustic Instruments - RODE TF-5 and Harp with Riley Johnson
In this week’s Sound for Video Session, I put my very first efforts at recording acoustic harp on display to illustrate that the best learning happens when you do a bit of research, then go try to do it yourself.
Hear more of Riley Johnson’s music over at Bandcamp.
Please consider my sound, post processing, and recording classes.
Gear used to record this episode:
