today in the #studio our lecturer went over the #audient ASP analogue console at uni, and we set up a spot-miked mid/side drum recording.

it was so cool seeing how everything is done and it's one of the rare things where it really did sound amazing in the recordings. I also love how the audient has GENEROUS saturation so you can make kicks, snares and hats sound SUPER fucked up, and then just attenuate the channel since everything is post-fader when sent to #protools

I still cant stand protools and I find it really antiquated, but I'm learning to like how well it works for mixing and editing. #musicproduction #audioengineering

my group's project later is to remake a song, using a drum recording as its basis, and we've chosen to redo a rock-y song into a synth pop one. I can't remember the song's name. I also get an excuse to finally take my #polybrute to uni!!! we're going to try and get things nice and analogue and saturated now that we have access to the Audient.

on a sidenote, wow setting up 7 microphones is pain. at least having 3 of the same mic is a lot easier to gain stage and setup than having a lot of different mics with different quirks.
