Our recording process has now began, and we'd like the drums to sound less "basement". We're doing a wieird kind of metal.

If someone could give me essential tips to make it sound better and more pro, it would be great. How to eq, which reverb and other effects?

Hi,

I have been playing along with the Kit to MP3s, Either played from a laptop or a DVD player.

Before I bought the UB 1204 Pro Mixer the sound levels from either the Drums or the MP3 where always different and the idea of buying the mixer was to bring the volume levels closer together.

Im looking for any user out there that record the acoustic drum tracks,then use the sound from the recorded tracks to trigger the DM5anybody?
Does it work?-----how good?-----give me all the good and bad-----I need info!!

Hi All,

Though often one long advertisement for gear, this month's issue contained a fantastic discussion of phase issues inherent to recording drums with overheads. The author (can't remember who) gives a detailed example of a great way to fix problems. I jumped right to my DAW and followed his instructions on some recent drums tracks I recorded.

is it possible to record drums with an mbox? i know that some sort of external i/o device would be required to have enough inputs for all the drums mics, since the mbox only has two, but is there a device that does this?

if this wouldnt work, is drum triggering an alternative? what equipment would i need to purchase to make this happen?

SO! I'm thinking of getting two decent mic preamp's
either 2 Bricks, or a Sebatron vmp-2000 to go with my firepod

what parts of the drums should I record with the 2 good mic preamp's (the rest will go through the firepod's mediocre/bland pre's

Ususal set-up being:
kick
hats
snare
2xrack toms
floor tom
2 or 3 overheads

New here and also new at this.

I'm trying to find a mixer for drums and hopefully band as well.
Drums have 12 XLR condenser mics, all needing phantom power.
I'm thinking of 16-24 channels, but like I said, I'm brand new to mixing and I would appreciate any and all help.
It would be nice to be able to record as well, but a mix is the main thing here.

I'm trying to get a nice, thumpy kick drum sound for an electronica-style project. I'm doing the programming in Logic as a MIDI track, the instrument/audio object being a SoundFont with lots of kick drum samples that I made. I have a lot of difficulty in getting it right, so I hope some of you can help me out.

If the drums have been recorded. And now it's time to mix them down. How do you use the kick mic as the trigger for the kick drum sample?
Or do you have to record with a trigger on the kick drum?
