Studio 401
On Location
Mix's January 2008 "Project Studio" column profiles Andy
Scott (pictured), who owns and operates Studio 401 out of his home in
San Francisco, where he records, mixes and masters local indie artists
and bands. However, Scott's studio work is only one aspect of his
business; he also provides a range of live and field recording services
for clients, taking his rig to local clubs and venues of all types, as
well as traveling internationally for special projects. MORE

Triggering
Kick Drum Samples
Years ago, I became hooked on using an electronic kick
drum to trigger samples on rock, pop and R&B dates—even when I was
recording an otherwise all-acoustic kit. (I use a Roland KD-7 pad, which
is set up on a pedal next to the regular pedal on my studio kit.) This
approach offers many advantages: Because the kick is silent in the
studio, sympathetic snare buzz is greatly reduced, and the overall
signal in the overheads is cleaner, with less kick bleeding into the
other mics. Also, with no bleed from the original kick, the kick pattern
can be changed or altered later if necessary—a highly desirable
option. On any session (sampled or otherwise), the goal of recording
kick is to get a solid, consistent sound—and here, the sampled kick
adds, rather than detracts, from the drum kit sound.
