hey everyone. I really need some adice/help. I have Pro Tools 6.4 and just bought drums from hell superior. I finally got sound and everything hooked up but i am trying to find out, how do I set up seperate tracks (in detail, cause I'm new to a lot of this) for each individual drum.

Im looking to record drums for a song...
i have 4 mics to work with.
where are the best places to place the mics?
the drum set is a basic 5 piece set with hi hat, ride, crash, and splash

so what are your thoughts? who here gets good drum sounds in a small room and what is your set up? i have an okay sized room for drums.. its like 10x10 with a 7.5 foot ceiling. i know small rooms are not typically ideal but since that is what i am working with...what do you suggest for getting a big sound out of a little room?

Hello there and i appreciate any kind of help you can offer. This is my situation. I have Pro Tools 6.4 LE with a digi002 surface controller and i just got this DFHS program. I downloaded everything and i cant get any kind of sound from the program and most importantly when i go into Pro Tools and i go to an insert for a plugin and go to my virtual instrum.

I'm looking to pick up a new drum set to replace the beginner's Westbury drum set I've had since I was a kid. It's going to be 100% for recording, and 0% for gigging. My price range is $1000-2000 CAD tops (ideally closer to 1000, not including cymbals, but probably more by the end).

Hi All,
I did a search for the subject I'm about to ask but no go. So here is my question: I plan on buying a electronic drum set that has MIDI outs and I would like to record the drums to MIDI so that later I can run the MIDI file with Drum kit from hell superior. Is there any program that will record your playing and save it as a MIDI file? Thanks

I have been using an old Boss Dr. Rhythm and an old Proteus/1 which give me very limited sounds that are dated. any advice for upgrading to get a modern drum sound, got a Mac running Digital Performer 4.6 many thanks.

Well, I wish to rec the snare while playing it with brushes: since I am total new to the "Micing world", I will gladly accept any advice about the ways to get a good result :oops:
Actually, I tried it parallel to the ground, 3cm away from the snare: the result seem's decent to me, but I suppose the existence of some "old classic" way to this :)

thanks :)

I have Reason and Fruity Loops but the drums don't sound all that hot. What do you suggest?

I've got a very good drummer coming in three weeks to lay down some drums to a scratch track I've prepared. I've got a pretty good room (16 X 23 feet with a ceiling vaulted from 10 to 13 feet) and the following mics:

2 X SM57
Neumann U89
2 X Crown CM700
RODE NT4 stereo
AKG D112
2 X Audix D4

The kit is a nice Gretch 4 piece.
