Product Detail
BFD Vintage Recording Techniques is an amazing expansion pack for BFD3. It captures a gorgeous Ludwig Classic Maple drum kit using various vintage microphone techniques. The outcome is a collection of well - known, genuine vintage sounds that fit rock, pop, blues, and other genres. Our engineers applied world - famous drum recording methods like ORTF, Glyn Johns, and Blumlein. Direct microphones were precisely placed on each kit piece, ensuring a wide range of mixing options and delivering authentic drum sounds from vintage to modern. For the ORTF technique, 2 AKG C451B mics were used, creating a wide stereo image with great mono detail, ideal for jazz tracks. The spaced pair setup, used on numerous rock records, featured 2 AKG C414 XLS large - diaphragm condensers, offering a wide stereo image full of sonic colors. The Blumlein technique used two ribbon microphones for an excellent stereo image and a smooth ambience. With the Glyn Johns technique, two Neumann TLM103s for overheads, combined with snare and kick direct channels, provide that classic sound. Features include an extremely detailed Ludwig Maple kit for BFD3, 29 microphone channels, real drum bleed and resonance, 5 vintage recording techniques with endless mixing possibilities, each kit piece played with sticks in a natural version, suitability for vintage/modern rock, pop, funk, country, and blues, and a selection of presets to quickly get you started.
