🎻 Mic’ing a double bass on stage with the #OC818 Place the mic a short distance in front of the bridge to capture the instrument’s depth and detail. Want more low-end? Shift it slightly toward the F-hole. Use cardioid to focus on the bass and reduce sound from drums or other instruments, or omni to capture the full, natural resonance of the room. Angle the mic to avoid unwanted reflections from nearby instruments. Small adjustments in distance and angle can make a big difference — the OC818 gives you the flexibility to find the perfect balance. #AustrianAudio #MicTips #LiveSound

Drum Miking 101 🥁🎙️ Ever wonder why some drum recordings sound huge and others fall flat? It’s all in the mics. → Kick: Put a dynamic mic just inside the hole for punch, add one outside for boom. → Snare: Top mic for crack, bottom mic for sizzle (don’t forget to flip polarity!). → Overheads: Think of them as “cymbal mics” and your overall kit sound. → Room: A pair of condensers = instant vibe. 👉 Pro tip: More mics ≠ better. Placement is king. Start with fewer, move them till it sounds right, then add as needed. #AustrianAudio #DrumMiking#DrumRecording
