Drums<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve used them on every recording session I\u2019ve done since we got them: on overheads and room mics for drums and piano, and I recorded strings on them the other day, then on a choir session.\u00a0 They\u2019re fantastic for drum overheads. Everyone&#8217;s used them when they&#8217;ve had a chance. I think drums have been the main thing people have used them on. They are really great for overheads and room mics for drums; that very natural sound and the top end on the OC818 is so smooth, and it just doesn&#8217;t get harsh at all with the cymbals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1817 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dev01.contentcreators.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Paul-Norris-2-480x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Piano<\/h3>\n<p>My favourites were on the piano: it sounded amazing &#8211; I\u2019ve recorded piano three times with them. In fact, the OC818 was used on the Fazioli Grand Piano that Freddie Mercury and Adele have played on in Studio A. I was using C12VRS before, but I think the OC818s are nicer sounding and give such a natural sound on the piano without having to do anything like having to EQ it too much. I never use massive amounts of compression when I&#8217;m recording piano anyway, but it just sounds like a piano straight away without having to do too much. It makes life much easier.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Heritage<\/h3>\n<p>Obviously the lineage of the mic [Austrian Audio was born out of the closure of the AKG offices in 2017] was one reason why I was quite excited to try them because I love to use [AKG] C12 and 414s on drums. We did a shoot-out; the OC818s were definitely preferred by everyone to the 414s.<\/p>\n<h3>4. The Sound<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s very natural sounding, open, and the top end is just so smooth. I recently used them as room mics on the Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes Live to Vinyl session; it\u2019s not hyped, but has a top end that isn&#8217;t at all harsh. And you can make things bright without it sounding off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1816 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dev01.contentcreators.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Paul-Norris-1-480x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our newsletter now, so you don&#8217;t miss out similar stories in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metropolis Studios&#8216;
