Has anyone had success recording loud drums in the booth of studio B?
Can the carpet be lifted for liveness?

Yes. Drums sound very good recorded in the Dead Room of B.

Nope. It's glued down. You can record drums in the live room if you want more ambience.

I think I remember a Bob Weston thing, maybe in his Tape Op interview, where he said that there was a June of '44 record done in B where half had the drums in live room and guitars in the small room and the other half had drums in the small room and the guitars in the live room.

It's probably an excellent example, if I'm rememebering it correctly.

i bet this was 'anahata' cuz some of those 'funky' songs have very dry sounding drums.

if it's that big of a deal to you, B Y O P


bring your own plywood

thanks for the advice...

I guess you could still open the doors a bit to get ambience in the mics in the live room. cool.

The drums on Songs:Ohia's "Magnolia Electric Co." were recorded in the isolation room of studio B. Most of the songs were done with the door closed, but on "Peoria Lunch Box Blues" the door was left open.

holy shit, thats one of the coolest snare sounds ever.

in one post I've been convinced to rethink my session


thankyou

The snare was the 6 lug Ludwig brass snare they have at Electrical with one of those muffling rings on it to give it the dry 70's sound. I think having only six lugs gives it a deeper, thicker sound, plus it has those old fashioned rims. I wish I owned one just like it!

The mic was a Shure KSM141 on top and a SM98 on bottom.

the first time I heard that record was while I was recording in deepest, darkest Norway

It was the snare sound that mesmorised us for some reason.
I was ordered to get that sound.
they were happy with a 5" gretch with a 451 in a dry space.
makes sense.

thanks.
