T03 - Snare Drum Strategies: Record and Mix for Maximum Impact
Presenter:Alex Case, University of Massachusetts Lowell - Lowell, MA, USA
The snare drum demands careful and constant attention—from our ears and our gear. With a dynamic range from whispering brushes to cannon fire, the snare drum challenges us to know our craft. Musical acoustics, room acoustics, and psychoacoustics guide the development of effective microphone techniques and signal processing strategies. Through informed control of spectrum, envelope, and image, the snare can be counted on to drive your music forward.
