Sometimes you need to record a clap for a project but there’s a bit of difficulty in doing so. Claps are best done in a group which means the more clappers the better.
There are a lot of things to consider when recording a clap. One of which is using a fairly live room, back the mike away from the clappers, and use a compressor that has variable attack and release times. Another is spacing the clappers a couple of feet apart distance-wise from the mic. The ones nearest the mic must clap more on top of the beat and those farther away clap more laid back.
