This week’s studio session, I assigned the role of a studio engineer for Rubens recording. He wanted to record live drums on a piece he had previously composed, as a studio engineer it was my role alongside the over studio engineers to prepare the live room, i.e. task such as assembling the kit to the players requirements, getting the microphones and stands to the correct positioning, as it was Rubens project he selected the microphones that he wanted to use, for the kick drum we used the AKG D112, for the snare we used the Shure SM57, for the hi hat an AKG CI000, and for the overheads we used the AKG C451.

Along the way we had some minor problems with the XLR cable on the right overhead, the faulty cable was causing the signal to peak, to solve this we changed the cable
