Hi Guys, i have a question about what kind of mic you guys use for picking up your ride cymbal.
In this case im not interested in overheads just the option of call it "close micing" the ride.
Or directional mic'd ride.
Case: I love my setup of mic's for this one recording BUT i lack a bit or ride "volume" you may call it.
And i do not want to change any levels on the other mic's, i have the crashes toms and kick, snare etc etc all perfect. only my 22" K Light ride just dont shine thrue all the way.
So im looking for a addition to my collection of mics, or suggestions.
Im thinking a condenser or pencil condencer perhapps, cardiode or hyper cardiode pattern (sm81) or (oktavia mk 012, akg c1000s?) .
or something completely different anyone useing a ribbon mic(beyerdynamic m160) or something completely different.
Please respond with the type of application you used your mic, and of course what mice u used. Pros and Cons from the usage.
Cheers /byz
