I'm looking for a good sampler to use primarily on drums. a friend of mine had the akai z8 rack and his drums sound as live as anything but I still want advice before going out and spending 1,500$. any ideas or anything new out there?

How simple is this? Does the 002r take the midi direct or will I need another outboard gear option to do this.

What I want is each trigger to be on a sperate track in PT LE so I can mess with each signal.

How to I guess.

I have the Roland TD-6V

Thanks

Hi People!
I'm recording drums tomorrow for the 1st time at my home studio.
Last minute posting, I know, but my isp was down!

I've done this in a real studio before but never in my home unit.

The room I'm using is my living room which has the usual 8' ceiling.
I think its about 15'x15.

Does anyone here use FXpansion BFD Drum Instrument? Or heard anything about it? sure looks cool...

Has anyone had any experience recording a fully miked drumset (7-Mics or more) to a stereo track? If you have, please share your experience and techniques to get a good sound.

I have an old CB percussion kit. It has been refitted with all new remo pinstripe heads and a newly tuned snare, cymbals and pedals/hardware. I cant get a decent recording out of it at all, i dont know what I'm doign wrong. the bass drum maybe too narrow for the bass response i want or the mic could be positioned wrong.

Hi.
For my bands demo I'm recording drums by using a mixture of mics and the roland TD6 module. the reason why i turned to this approach is because the acoustics are very bad and the module works wonders in this kind of situation.

mics are used for the cymbols & hi-hat where as the TD6 module is used for the snare bass and toms.

I'm selling my Shure PG mic kit on ebay for 220 and I'm looking for an upgrade. I've bought two SM-57s previously and all i need are good overheads and a quality kick drum mic. Any suggestions? I know this is such a common post to ask for recommendations for mics but I figure you guys have definite favorites.

ok here's what i've got to sound the best(or most like other production out there)

KICK- goes these plugins in this sequence:

1. EQ (notching bad frequencies out, low/highshelving for thump)

2. Gate (obviously, isolating the kick)

3. COMPRESSOR (2-1 ratio, threshold with gain reduction down about 10db, attack is 23ms release is 120 ms and hard-knee.

We have been using a roland v drum set a lot as there is no room for an acoustic kit at the moment oin my present home studio (not too mention noise issues with the neighbors). the roland drum soounds are ok but we would like to expand our drum sonic palette a bit. We do have Digital Performer and mach five and can use giga and other sample formats. Any recommendations?
