BFD Vintage Recording Techniques is an expansion pack for BFD3 that uses a variety of vintage microphone techniques to capture a beautiful Ludwig Classic Maple drum kit.

The result is a selection of familiar, authentic vintage sounds suitable for rock, pop, blues and more.

Our engineers used world renowned drum recording techniques including ORTF, Glyn Johns, and Blumlein. Direct microphones were expertly placed on all kit pieces to ensure the pack has a wide range of mixing possibilities and can deliver authentic drum sounds from vintage to modern.

For the ORTF technique, 2 AKG C451B mics were used. This gave a wide stereo image with excellent mono detail that is perfect for jazz tracks.

A technique that has been used on countless rock records, the spaced pair setup featured 2 AKG C414 XLS large diaphragm condensers, which created a wide stereo image exhibiting a huge palette of sonic colours.

The Blumlein technique used 2 ribbon microphones configured to give an excellent stereo image and a smooth sounding ambience.

For the Glyn Johns technique, 2 Neumann TLM103's were used for overheads, which when combined with the snare and kick direct channels provide that classic sound.

Looks great, but has issues
Color: Black-Red/Digital/Black
Great design, looks fantastic. Doesn't look too large, and the strap can be easily swapped for a nato strap if that's your preference. The negative display is quite readable and the indiglo works beautifully. Unfortunately, like many others, mine was prone to the reset bug. Using the chrono or timer modes would send the watch into a sort of boot loop for several minutes, after which it would be factory reset to 12:00 AM. This bug only seemed to affect the digital display and not the analog hands. If you never used these modes then you'd never have an issue, but these are necessary functions for me so that made the watch a no-go, sadly.

Disappointing in many ways
Color: Black-Red/Digital/Black
Bought this model twice. Digital display failed on both, the first within the return window, the second just after. Timex customer "service" said to ship it back for a repair estimate, pay for the repair, and then it would take up to three months once payment was made. I said thanks, but I'll leave a bad review and get a Casio sooner.
