Drums:

4 piece 1970 ludwig with old zildjian cymbals, for indie rock/reggae style

Recording chain:
PreSonus FireStudio (8 preamps )
Sonar 8.5 (thanks recording.org!)

My mic options:

Can anyone advise me how to tape a drumkit using an analog eight track?
The only compressors I have are a few cheap Behringers (begin laughing about now!)
Can I get decent results using these to control peaks etc.., or do I just compress the kick with one and leave the rest of the kit alone?
Would it be OK to maybe, compress the kick and limit the toms and snare?

I have concerns...

Hey guys!

my friend used ez drummer to record the midi drum track on REAPER

but when i open it to my laptop (fresh installation of REAPER and EZDRUMMER)
this comes up

what does this mean? >.

Is there a way i can replace a snare and kick drum with some type of trigger with out having to cut and paste the whole tracks? Some of our live recording sound bad because the snare and kick where miced badly.

I would like to replace the snare and kick with ones from my beta monkeys loops library

Hello again,

Very cool mixture of using electronics and acoustic drums:

In this video I describe my techniques of humanizing drums including quantization, swing, velocity patterns, ghost notes, compression, reverb and random quantization.

I want to record drums as I'm currently using midi

I want to record drums but I'm not sure how to record them so I have each individual channel on the computer so i can mix each drum mic individually on cubase. rather than having each drum mic just on one channel.

any help would be great thanks!
