Drum Room Mics
A favourite way to use the TG12413 for drums is on a single room mic. Place it 5 – 10 feet
from the kick pointing down slightly. You may prefer a ribbon of some sort as they are less
bright and counteract the swishing you can get from the cymbals. Crank up the Input or
Hold and keep the Recovery fast. It works well to squeeze it very hard and then mix the
desired amount below the track.
Dual Limiter/Compressor
Running two channels in a series can be very cool! Patch them together and set the first to
limit with fast Recovery, and the second to comp with slower Recovery. Adjust the Inputs
for desired amount of reduction. Try this out:
