Hi- I've been reading about Room mics and Overhead mics in drum setups, and was wondering how the Jamstix Ambience channel (#8 on the mixer, iirc) related to those, if at all.
Thanks for any help! _________________ Alexis

| Hi Alexis, "Ambience" would be your room mics and "Cymbals" would be your OH's. The cymbals are close mic'd so it's not true OH's. |

Thank you, a_zimuth!
Obviously, I don't know a lot about this. I've read lots about how helpful it is to use overheads with drums. I suppose if there are no OH mics recorded, there's no way, or need to in JS's case, to fake them, right? _________________ Alexis

| By mixing the close mic signal with the ambience signal I can get close enough for anything I've ever needed to do. |
