An excellent early birthday present from RGK and the Christchurch family. Surprisingly quiet - they live up to their marketing promise of being 80% quieter than normal cymbals while still sounding like actual cymbals. New practicing possibilities now unlocked.
Could be worse.
Holy shit these guys were loud.
The new condenser mic recorded amazingly well, but I forgot to save the project on Reaper. Lesson learned.
A super cheap (but surprisingly good) large-diaphragm condenser mic to hopefully get around the cymbal wash that otherwise dominates my drum recordings. Also sounds crazy good recording the guitar amp (note the "shoe mount" for the kick mic also).
Behringer UMC204HD (really rolls off the tongue). A significant improvement on the Alesis i02+, which used to clip and distort at anything over 0.5/10 on the gain knob.
This was nearly an hour. Still a great guitar, but a pain in the ass to change strings. Interestingly, switching to D'Addario NYXL 12-52 strings seems to hold the tuning a bit better.
