Pre Production - Equipment List

I have decided that for my honours project recording, I will use the following recording setup:

  • 1. Hi-hat Mic - AKG C1000
  • 2. Snare mic Top - Shure SM58
  • 3. Snare Mic Bottom - Shure SM57
  • 4. Kick Drum Mic - AKG D112
  • 5. Rack Tom Mic - Shure SM58
  • 6. Floor Tom Mic - Shure SM 58
  • 7. Overhead Right - Neumann U87
  • 8. Overhead Left - Neumann U87
  • 9. Guitar 1 Mic 1 - Shure SM57
  • 10. Guitar 1 Mic 2 - AKG 414
  • 11. Guitar 2 Mic 1 - Shure SM 57
  • 12. Guitar 2 Mic 2 - AKG 414
  • 13. Bass D.I. - XLR to wall box
  • 14. Bass Mic - AKG D112

I have also considered that this means I require an extra 2 input on top of what is available in the studio, so have decided to record the bass tracks on an independent recording device, such as a laptop with recording software and external sound card.

This microphone arrangement and microphone selections I have made are based on practice based research (i.e. previous recording sessions I have been involved in), conversations with my peer (Daryl Robertson) and this e-book.

N.B. - These microphone choices are all best case scenario and ACTUAL mic choice may be dependant on availability as I do not have the money to buy or rent equipment.
