New kit - the Behan Box
by Ben Kennedy 03 May '04

03 May '04

Hey all, Thanks to Mike, the Behan Box kit is now up for download in the library! Here is how Mike describes it: >Sometimes simpler really is better. I recorded the sounds in this kit >using one dynamic mic setup about 8 feet behind the throne. I recorded >to tape on my Tascam 424, then dumped the sounds into my Mac for >further processing. The kit itself is a no-name beater that my friend >Tom Behan let me borrow indefinitely, hence the name Behan Box. > >I diced up the sounds and sort of "mastered" them individually with >Cubase, applying eq and maximizer plug ins as needed. I haven't spent >too much time adjusting levels within the kit, but they seem pretty >solid. I didn't apply any time based effects like reverb. I prefer >dbkits that are dry, which allows individuals to slather on their own >reverb during the process. > >This has a kind of "live" sound. I'd hesitate to call it "lo-fi" since >it has connotations I'd rather avoid, but, technically, it is lo-fi. >I'll hope you post it and that someone besides me can make use of it. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
