I have an SR-16 which i think sounds quite good and am recording some Heavy Rock tracks using Pro Tools via my new POD XT Live.

(If you want to get great guitar sounds and a unit thats easy to program via Line 6 edit using your mouse so you dont have to keep reaching down to the floor to tweak nobs and punch buttons get one of these!)

So there are like 10127834 topics on drums right now. That's cool, I just don't want to jack everyone else's thread.

This a question about loudness. I LIKE the sounds I am getting from my drums, but it is very low.

Which do you prefer when recording drums. Recording the raw Acoustic Drums, eq and compress, and know it's all you.

Greetings all,

Can any of you point me in the right direction for some basics on recording a percussionist in a studio setting? I need info on suitable mics and placement for a variety of percussion instruments - ranging from congas to triangle and other metallic-sounding items.

Thanks in advance. John F.

hi guys

I ve got a problem, we connected our electronic Yamaha drums to a reason, but the hi-hat is running late so the sound is f**king bad. we thought its becouse our reason software we use in pc not in macintosh, what d' you mean, the mac will cancel our problem?

I have a set of V-drums and live in a 2nd story apartment. I need to reduce to sound transmitted through the floor when I hit the foot pedals. The floor has carpet and I also have 3 area rugs available as well as sheets of particle board and laminate plywood. What would be the best way to do this?

I recently recorded a standard rock band with 9 mics as follows:
Beta 52 - Kick
Snare Top: Beta 57
Snare Bottom: SM57
High Tom: SM57
Low Tom: Beta 57
OHs: Earthworks TC30s
High Hat: Kel Audio HM-1
Room Mic: Mojave MA-200

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know I finally finished an application note up on my website on how to program the Boss BR-1600CD drum machine. I've had a lot of people ask me for this application note because they couldn't understand the user's manual. Hopefully this app note will help.

Hey all,

Just wondering all your techniques for drum kit recording. Overheads.

Anyone want to shed any light on their preffered techniques? Im talking pencil condensers or others? Stereo Crossover Pair? Which way you point them and all that! Whats the best way to minimise snare?

Im sure there is some fine secrets out there.

Thanks, you guys rule

Jake
