Field Recording - Recorded Sounds

This is the result of the field recording session on the 7th February 2013. This drum beat is created using the recordings heard in 'Field Recording - Recorded Sounds'.

Field Recording - Sample Drum Beat

This week we recorded drums using an XY Pair and an ORTF pair. We changed the polar patterns of the ORTF microphones to try and get more room involved, and here is what we found:

12/02/13 Recording Drums - XY, ORTF Cardioid

12/02/13 Recording Drums - XY ORTF Omni

This week I recorded using middle and side pair. This gives a great stereo image, as you can hear at the end when I walk across the studio floor and open the door.
