Info about drum mic setup:
We wanted a bit of a retro sound, so Sandro put cloths partly covering the heads of the drums. This dampened a lot of the ring, and made for a really dry dead sound. In terms of modern production aesthetic, this might seem counterproductive, but with the right blend of room mics we were able to get a really dry focused close mic sound, and a fat room to give body and definition to the kit.
