FAQ<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”Do you create a custom drum\/mic configuration for every song?” style=”square” custom_font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ custom_use_theme_fonts=”yes” use_custom_heading=”true” el_id=”1475706836784-6fda7e7f-6d88″ css=”.vc_custom_1478744886546{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Yes. Although we definitely have go-to configurations for certain sounds (big drums for rock sound; tight, heavily muffled kit for old school breakbeats; an open smaller set with calfskin heads for music referencing 50s\/60s pop; etc.), every song has completely different sonic requirements. We’ll swap drums, cymbals, or heads, change muffling and tuning, add or remove gobos, change sticks, remove bottom heads, play lighter or heavier, whatever it takes.\u00a0We take great pride in getting the right sounds for your songs.<\/p>\n

Once we have the kit tuned up and ready, we choose the right mics to bring out the right qualities for your tracks. It changes every time, but we have some standard configurations listed below.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is your microphone configuration?” style=”square” custom_font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ custom_use_theme_fonts=”yes” use_custom_heading=”true” el_id=”1475708037418-31d9c988-5073″ css=”.vc_custom_1539955958587{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Every song is different, of course, but we generally choose something from the list below. This is a basic starting point that we feel gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it’s time to mix your project:<\/p>\n
