Re-assessment ...

Having listened to the recordings, a few thing become very obvious...
Firstly, the drum mic'ing was not great. Next time I'll use a dynamic on the hat, set the overheads as a coincident pair, ditch the ride mic and use a 257 on the snare. No need for an undersnare mic, its a waste of time.


More importantly, have decided to ditch the whole ProTools rig. It was a fun experiment, but it has proved far too heavy and cumbersome, when I can do it all in Logic on my macbook and fit the rest of the kit into a 4U rack, rather than a 12U rack that weighs 45KG! I'll give it a try next week with my RME Fireface.
