Studio technician - Middlesbrough college

During my second year at Middlesbrough College I have been assigned as the recording studio technician as I applied for the job.

I used the sE electronics se1000a's as overheads to record drum tracks with, these are cheap and cheerful little mics, their diaphram is actually in between the size of a small and large diaphram microphone which is quite interesting, however they do sound rather dull and uninspiring in comparison to more expensive mics. 

To this day I am undecided whether they are actually worth the cheap price tag but believe it would be a much wiser decision to save your money and spend it on something with a bit sweeter such as a matched set of Rode nt5's or even the sE1a's.

My go-to kick drum mic, the D112 is an absolute legend!

These plastic umbrellas on the sealing act as acoustic diffusers,
allowing energy to be spread out more evenly across the room.

The bass player seemed to have a nice little formidable rig .
I used to have one of those Boss CS-3  ;P 

I was forced use a single Tom mic for the two as the studio
is not wired conveniently to receive a lot of inputs.
