It was great today!
The mic picked up exactly the sound I wanted
and I think the results are dope!
It also didn't take much effort on the hitting.
We just played back the raw recording through the monitors,
it already sounded good!
I play guitar for the band "Earthists".
It was my first experience in the studio,
seeing first-hand what "miking" is all about!
I mean, really
The sound somehow preserved its clarity, 
it was so transparent!
I simply thought "This sound is really good!"

We tracked some drums today
and we used only the discrete mic preamps
from the Discrete 8 interface.
I chose to track with Antelope's two modelling mics
Verge and Edge today
and as soon as I heard the sound from the Verge
I thought “This has such a natural feeling!”
Other pencil type condenser mics, 
for example from Neumann or AKG,
usually deliver a crisp sound,
yet the Verge was really natural.
As for the Edge, without the emulations 
it delivered that "fat" sound impression.
It seems that the mic itself has a solid performance.
I think the sound was quite natural yet quite fat
For this session we applied the Berlin184 on the hi-hat
Actually there are 5 mic models, 6 including the Verge.
As I was switching between them one by one, the Berlin184 came up and
was just perfect on the hi-hat, so I chose it.
For the rides I selected the Freiberg 6
Again, I was switching through the emulations 
and this mic model
was just the best for them, so I chose it.
The overheads are using the 414
I chose Vienna 414
The 87 or the 67...
Or maybe the Vienna 12...
I was changing the models and checking,
but the 414 came out great, 
and actually many engineers
are choosing the 414 for drums' overheads.
There must be a reason, right?
Today I was able to reconfirm this.
For the kick drum
we also used the Edge microphone.
The 47FT was the natural choice, of course.
It's basically everything you need for your instruments.
I think today the miking also played a big role
For the room mics, I chose the Vienna 12 in the end.
I tried to track this a little omnidirectional.
How to say this, as soon as we applied the emulations,
it felt like the sound went to the next level.
That's the character of the vintage mics, right?
The distortion, or harmonics, the specific character added
gives the strong feeling, as if the 
sound was coming from an orchestra.
According to the emulation I selected,
I felt the sound became even better, or simply
that it had much more depth.
For this session we used the 
Discrete 8 audio interface
and it was really easy to set up.
There's an adjustment knob 
for the control panel,
which made drum tracking very simple.
It felt like the recording 
was completed in a second.
As for the mic preamps,
I can honestly say these sound amazing!
They are introduced as 'console-grade' preamps
and actually, they really sounded as such!
I know well the sound of mix consoles, 
such as the SSL,
and I was shocked when I heard how similar it was!
It's a really great sound!
I also noticed how good it is 
having this big dynamic range.
With other audio interfaces, 
perhaps cheaper interfaces,
it is actually very difficult to adjust.
In comparison, Discrete's dynamic range 
is great and adjustments are very easy
We recorded a death metal song, and 
I have applied some light processing,
it is mixed with the raw sound 
from the recording,
and that unprocessed material 
is almost unchanged.
Sounds were ready to use as soon as recorded.
