Cajons

Three different models were used in the recording. Each one a distinct sonority. they are:

Cajon Pithy (made in Brazil)
Cajon Tierrapiano (made in Peru)
Cajon Cletto (made in Brazil)

The Cajon library was recorded at the 3ml studio in BH, Brazil, by the great drummer Helton Lima, using a very dry room with 4 microphones. A Shure Beta52 was used for the Low, a Shure Sm57 for the edges, a Rode NT5 for Snare and a Neumann TLM 103 for the room. A Focusrite ISA 428 was used for the capture in the UAD Apollo.

Each one of the Cajons has a distinct sonority, being the Cajon Cletto is a lap Cajon. The form of instrument brings a very distinct sound from the traditional cajons.
