Re: New Kick Mic Tested: AT AE2500
I ended up placing the mic just inside the resonant head port so that the elements were about 1 inch inside the head. This placement was MUCH better than I originally tried and I appreciate the suggestion. I never got any wind noise or anything like that and the mic performed as good as I hoped it would.
After listening back to the 'final takes' on my drum tracks, I decided to boost a very narrow band of 6200 hz to give the kick a little more definition and 'wet' sound so that it can be heard on smaller speakers and through headphones but that's the only EQ I needed.
