On top of this, I would double mic the snare - one underneath and one above - I've got a cracking snare mic - Shure Beta 57a. I also normally forfeit an overhead to close mic the hi-hat. 2 overheads and a hi-hat mic is the ideal but I don't have enough. And I'd love to try double micing the bass drum, last time I was in a pro studio I was told that this is the best way to get a great Bass drum sound.

How many inputs have you got on the 01x? I think we're up to 10 mics now

My normal Kit mic'ing is

Bass drum - AKG D112
Snare - top mic Shure Beta 57a
bottom mic - AKG (forgot the number)
Toms - Two SM57s over the three toms
One overhead shure pencil condenser
One hi-hat Shure condenser

XLR to jack snake?

Have we frightened the rest of the jocks off?

one of the unfortunate things about the 01x is that there are only XLRs on the 2 phantom power inputs the other 6 are 1/4 jack

I'm running balanced 1/4inch jacks at the control room end BTW
