These signals can be blended with ease using the ‘perspective’ slider, or controlled with greater precision using the separate microphone faders ( Close, Mid and Far), letting you dial in the perfect amount of ambience, whether you want a dry ‘studio’ sound or a spacious sound which sits at the back of a mix. In addition to spot and overhead mics placed close to each drum, we used 8 room mics to capture the acoustic space from different perspectives: in the middle of the room for a “conductor’s perspective” and high up on a mezzanine at the back of the room to capture the beautiful reverb of the church. The room provides a lively and dispersed acoustic, with a dense yet controlled reverb tail that isn’t too wet or too dry. Surrounded by hard brick and wooden flooring, Studio One is perfect for recording drums. Originally a 19th-century church, The Nave Studios (Leeds, UK) provides the acoustic backdrop for Tom Factory.
