The Logic Off Topic list

Hi men,
There\ufffds no easy way to get what you want, and miking
from the underneath usually gives you a muddy sound
with no stick definition.

I usually do this: I point the mic at about 30-45
dgrees with the upper hat BUT LOOKING AT THE OUTSIDE
OF THE KIT  ( This means miking the furthest edge of
the HH ). It works well with AKG 451 and better with a
414 on hyper cardioid. Solo the track and check for
snare leakage. that\ufffds all you should be worried about.
This way the snare is on the dead spot of the cardioid
pattern so it\ufffds quite attenuated.

Try to get a compensated HH sound out of your
overheads by placing these mics carefully.90 % of your
close hh sound \ufffdll come from here and 125% of your
open HH as well !

Then filter your HH track with a low cut ( aka hi pass
filter ) and get rid of everything else. EQ for
silkness and stick definition.

Blend to taste and you\ufffdre done.

Also I recommend checking for hh leakage on the snr
mic, mostly when using condensers. Too much HH on the
snr mic will complicate things when tryin to add
brightness to the snr.
