Hi Friends,
My good friends and outstanding engineers Bob Horn (Usher, Nelly, Timbaland) and Erik Reichers (Snoop Dogg, Bono) and I have recently released our most detailed music production course to date:
Producing & Mixing at Echo Bar Studios.
In this course Bob and Erik show you how to transform a rough song idea into a full blown production and how to add the final polish & increase energy with your mix. You get to see the full process, all the way from recording and micing techniques to adding extra layers of instrumentation, vocal production and mixing. The course is over 11 hours long!
Today, I want to share a very cool excerpt of this course with you:
Recording Snare Drums
Erik and Bob share a special micing technique that will help you keep the high-hat bleed out of your snare mics and show you where to place your microphones to achieve a full and punchy snare drum sound. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!
Check out the full course here. We’re currently running a special promotion, which will give you a bonus course of up to $150 value for free!
I hope this tutorial has helped you to gain new insights on how achieve a great snare sound. Please comment and leave any questions you might have below!
Have a marvellous time recording and mixing,
Warren
