ok so I have a m-audio delta-44 breakout box and Im looking to record drums. Im confused about how to do this, the impression I get is that you have a mic on each peice of the kit and edit the tracks once they are at your comp. like if you cant hear the high-hat on the recording your bring that up a bit, but anyways my question is how do I use 7 or 8 mics to do one recording?

Ok guys...I'm having a breakdown. I have a band coming in with more drums than I have mics. Here is my mic list...don't laugh:

1- D112
1- Beta 52a
1- Blue 8 ball
1- Oktava MK-319
2- Oktava MC012
4- Shure SM57

Here is what I was going to do. .let me know if you think it will be sufficient:

Hi,

Hello. I have a Yamaha electronic drum kit hooked up to an Edirol MIDI interface which then feeds into my laptop. I'm trying to record using Cool EDIT 2.0, but I can't find where/how to switch my input to my USB port (where my MIDI feeds into.) I've tried several things but to no avail - and it's driving me up the wall. Any help anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.

Application:
Correct a weak snare drum.
Use a snare drum audio track to trigger a Midi keyboard.
I have been searching for a suitable audio to midi converter. Like a VST or Dxi.

Software:
Cakewalk Sonar 4.0 producer.

I had started a thread here the week before Chritmas on this subject. I understand some threads were lost due to a bug in the system. The topic was recording acoustic percussion and a number of useful techniques were suggested. Unfortunately I did not save the info before it dissapeared but actually between remembering suggestions and my own experience the session went real well.

I'm sure this is a fairly ignorant question, and it may even be slightly off topic, but here goes. I have a Digitech GNX3 guitar floorboard, and I have used the included drum tracks to make several demos, but now that I am trying to record my songs for real, I need REAL drum tracks.

first of all here is a quick snipet of me playing our new setup: now i know the drumming sucks, but I'm not the drummer so go figure.

Merry Christmas you guys :

got tons of sounds in this sample pack I'm giving to you guys like :

CRUNK KITS, SNARES, HIHATS
THE JUVENILE BASS
REVERSE SOUNDS
VOCALS :
HOT - Cash Money
YEAH - Lil Jon
WHUT - EAST SIDE BOYS
OKKKK - Llil Jon

Hey all, apologise if this has already been asked. Just curious what people favourite mics are for Micing a kit. I'm a fan of 57's on most things but I'm new to all this and would love to learn about a few other mics too.

Cheers

Jay
