Message posted by Pedro Rodriguez <[email protected]> ______________________________________________________________________ Hi men, There´s no easy way to get what you want, and miking from the underneath usually gives you a muddy sound with no stick definition. I usually do this: I point the mic at about 30-45 dgrees with the upper hat BUT LOOKING AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE KIT ( This means miking the furthest edge of the HH ). It works well with AKG 451 and better with a 414 on hyper cardioid. Solo the track and check for snare leakage. that´s all you should be worried about. This way the snare is on the dead spot of the cardioid pattern so it´s quite attenuated. Try to get a compensated HH sound out of your overheads by placing these mics carefully.90 % of your close hh sound ´ll come from here and 125% of your open HH as well ! Then filter your HH track with a low cut ( aka hi pass filter ) and get rid of everything else. EQ for silkness and stick definition. Blend to taste and you´re done. Also I recommend checking for hh leakage on the snr mic, mostly when using condensers. Too much HH on the snr mic will complicate things when tryin to add brightness to the snr.
