Hello. I'm new here and this is my first post. I'd like to know how to get the largest, fullest sound I can get out of my drum kit. Right now, my kit's in a finished basement and the ceiling is 6' 8" high and the room is 12' x 16'. My 4-track and my cheap Radio Shack mics make my drums sound like they're made of paper plates, but they're all I have.

Under 600 dollars. I've only seen the virtual guitarist as an option for midi guitar. Can anyone recommend others?
I want to sound like Tool/metallica/ac/dc, metal sound
Thanks

Hey, I am moving to NYC next year to pursue this dream of becoming a famous engineer / producer :)

Hi,

We are an acoustic group in Bournemouth (UK) who has kindly been lent a AW2400 deck to record our music. So far, so good... :D

The problem being thet we are a bit (a lot) useless at operating it and it takes us ages to get anything done, let alone the fact that the quality we get is far from satisfactory :(

Hi, I'm a new buddy here. I need u guys help on the problem that I met.

I was using my Tascam US-122 with my previous pc system for more than a year. My previous system was, AMD Athlon XP 2500+ with MSI K7N2 Delta motherboard. They worked fine.

Looking to upgrade over the Digi 002R pre's. Budget $1,500. I primarily record electric guitar, bass, vocals. My only condenser mic is an AT3035 which is decent but nothing fancy. The unit i decide to get must have a good instrument pre in it.
After research these are the pres i found suitable. If anyone has any experience with these, please let me know what you think:

This will be intergrated into our new mobile recording facility.

All conversion will be done at 192Khz.

Howdy folks.

In case there are any newbs out there wondering can the room really make a difference 2when recording drums or how much of a difference..well BIG and sometimes in a literal sense.

The kit and proper tuning helps and alose playing to click really tighten things ups.

hey gang, i'm going to be working with a band soon, and i think a very old fashioned vocal sound would work killer on them (it's dark yet poppy trip-hop). i've been racking my brains for how to achieve this...major proximity effect, then eq it to get trebly pops...

I'm sure there are several methods to the same end in this case, but I was wondering how the vocals are tracked/processed to get the sound you hear from groups like Rancid, Arctic Monkeys, The Hives, etc. I know that most of these recordings are already limited to the max, but the vocals have a certain "old tape" quality.
