Altijd Volle Maan
Hi,
We are currently recording as well. Our setup is two acoustic guitars, bass-player (normally also acoustic, but for the recording wev'e been using an electric bass guitar) and two singers, male and female.
For the cajon I used two prodipe A1's, one very close from the side to the front plate, the other about 40 cm (I don't know inches) pointing to the front plate (to the position where the 'slap' comes from)
The I use a large-condensor (a hansen CRI-78) just outside the hole in the back or sometimes on a pillow inside the cajon.
Both the A1's I cut a lot of low-end and I pan them hard right and left to get a wide 'slap' and the Hansen I mix in to get a nice balance between the hi's and lows.
These are really cheap micro's, the A1 cost less than 100 € for two, but they have very low self-noise, much lower than a couple others I have which are almost 10 times more expensive.
By the way Bigwoody, do you have an idea which song/band you would use as a reference ?
