hello...does anybody have tips on tracking a drumkit that's in the same room as the console? I've tracked drums many times, but never while I'm in the same room. The room is about 700 sq feet. Mic placement shouldn't be too hard and once I get good test sounds to tape, I can just monitor the meters.

what do you guys think?

I mentioned in other posts about this project I'm working on in PT and 10 drum tracks.

So how do I use beat detective on 10 tracks? I've used it on bass, and piano with much success, but when it comes to drums, I'm baffled, even though it's probably the easiest way to use it.

I hope I'm in the right forum for this...

I'm recording an acoustic drum kit into Samplitude V8 via a MOTU 2408 MKII.

I want to add-to/replace recorded drum sounds with samples like I hear about everyone else doing who records rock/metal drums.

What do I need to buy. triggers? software? sampler?

I have no clue. Help..please!

hey all,

my first time posting here...so a big hello to all...cool forums you've got here!

i've just started putting some of my own ideas into recordings lately and have had one problem i've run across so far (i'm sure i'll run into many more in the future...but these forums are definitely helping to prevent that)

Hello studio freaks!

I`ve got a Korg polysix (whick i love, hehe) and would like to know if it is possible to syncing the arp`s tempo from the DIN out of my novation drum station (it uses ROLAND`s tr900 and tr808 connection at 24ppqn) to the ARP in of my 26 year old Korg polysix!

Is there a DIN to JACK lead for the polysix?

Thanks!

Hello,

ok, so i was just messing around with my mics to get them sounding sweet for recording my drums.

The Mics
peavy pv i2
nady cm90
first act(some random mic i got a walmart ... actually is pretty decent)

the setup
--nady alittle over 3 feet above center of bass drum (this basically will pick up the cymbals and toms.)

i would like some recomendations on how to place my mics to get a nice "punchy" sound.
my current set up is

a AKG 112 kick drum mic
a Shure sm-57 for snare
and 2 AKG c 430 over head mics (x y pattern)

what do u guys think? is it really that bad if i dont mic the toms?

What kind of reverb and what settings are applied to hi hat and snare on Dave Mathews albums "Stand up" and "Everyday" It's like the old Yamaha SPX 90's "Plate" very short ambience. Can I get that setting in any of Logic Express reverbs? HEEEEELP

Can you tell me what kind of reverb settings for hi hat and snare have been used on the albums "Stand up" and "Everyday" by Dave Mathews. I am wondering if they add an extremely short delay also. Can you get those settings with the reverbs in Logic Express? Thank you
