How We Recorded Drums w/ Lunar Rae (MonoNeon, Jon Batiste) | Mic Setup + Ableton Mix Walkthrough

"LUNAR RAE BREAKS" Sample Pack for producers: https://depalmahouse.gumroad.com/l/mrlkj

In this video Simen and Lunar Rae test out the newly completed drum recording setup at Depalma House with a live tracking session. Lunar has played alongside Jon Batiste, Sir Woman, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and MonoNeon among many others —and we are very lucky since her performance here in this video is the very first full drum session recorded at the studio.

Simen walks through the gear choices and microphone placements in detail, including a unique blend of ribbon, dynamic, and even intercom mics. Check out our Coles 4038, Electro Voice 664 and Beyerdynamic M160 and more up close. He also breaks down the stems and the Ableton mix session. He goes over phase alignment decisions, EQ cleanups, and the final 2-Bus mix using a combination of hardware-inspired plugins.

This video is part drum session, part gear talk, and part behind-the-scenes look at how Depalma House approaches mics and mixing.
