Watch our special live band recording feature at Rimshot Studios. Engineers Mike Thorne and Russ Cottier show some standard, creative and unusual drum mic setup's plus guitar and bass with audio samples to listen to. With such a nice range of microphones to choose from it's a good contrast with some of our 'one mic' techniques but this is filmed in the same studio as a few of those on our channel so you can compare :-)

Rather than just show a drum recording setup or a guitar feature we decided to get three musicians together to record some of Russ Cottier's music to experiment with and to demonstrate Mike and Russ' recording techniques with a whole band.

Currently our website is being rebuilt, once it's done we will have all of the multitracks/stems available to download for you to play with and anyone that send us their own mix that is outstanding will get some sort of prize, yet to be worked out.. :-)

Special thanks to the musicians who gave their time to record this:

A big super thank you to Mike Thorne, engineer and owner of Rimshot Studios. This studio is fantastic, has a range of great mics and some very cool gear - and tape machines!!

Another super big thanks to Josh Holland for his ace camera work and to Russ Cottier for being the 'front man' and producer and also the composer of the tune!!!

If you've read this far, you might be interested to know that coming soon is the same multitrack directed and re-mixed but top mix engineer Al Groves on his SSL Duality console - stay tuned...
