DRUM PREAMP OVERHAUL & SHOOTOUT | Daking, Sebatron, RME, Black Lion Audio
Do preamps matter on the drums? Let's find out!
How much difference do preamps REALLY make when recording a drum set with 8-12 microphones? Assuming all the preamps are quality, is there a noticeable change between tracking everything through a more-or-less random selection of preamps, versus the whole kit in one particular model of preamp? Let's find out!
Dylan walks you through the changes in his studio setup and workflow to be able to track three fully-miked drum sets at once, with a shootout between four different models of microphone preamplifiers: Sebatron VMP-4000e, Daking MicPre IV, RME 12Mic, and Black Lion Audio Auteur.
Audio files are free to download if you'd like to examine the before/after results for yourself.
