whats the best way to mic drums (toms, cymbals, bass, everything) and 12" speaker amplifiers(if it matters, it will be used for heavy rock recordings with some soft cleans). thanks

How many of you send the snare track to a stereo reverb, send the reverb to a different bus and mix it in with the dry snare track and how many of you send a reverb to a mono aux and just add as much (or as little) reverb directly the dry snare itself? What seems to work better? Or is it, like most things, a case by case deal? Just curious...Thanks.

Hello there I'm new to this forum but am really liking it...
I have had a enough work in studios to know how to work them but really do not like my engineering skills ( the sound and tones of everything i record )
I am doing a recording of a Hardcore band ( for those who dont know hardcore is a cross of punk and metal ) in a couple of weeks.

Hello all.

I'm tracking some drums & would like some opinions from the pro's! :-)

Here's what I have to work with.
Mackie 1604 XDR going direct out into my Delta 1010 & Logic Gold.
I have 8 Bal ins & I could also use the Digi ins & a SB Live ins.

I have an RNC Comp & a 3630 (that I don't usually use for recording.)

Whats a good kick mic. How big a difference is there between a jts x2, The D112 and what do the big fella's use. :lol:

Hi,

I know it's all about "try and error", but I still wanna' ask if any of you have had any experience with this...

I'm gonna' record my drumset in the rehearsal studio and I want that garage band kind of sound (which is quite hot now, like The Hives and The White Stripes), some kind of 60:s sound...

Okay, somebody tell me what's REALLY going on here. I know how to mike a drum kit, I know how to get great sounds, I've got great gear and great kits and snares, but no matter how hard I try, the snare drum track always turns into a ride cymbal or hi-hat track. Ditto the overheads and room mics.

I know Roland is the leader, but does anyone have hands on experience comparing the 2 brands?

Which of these do you guys prefer?

what would be good overhead mics for me? I am willing to put some cash in getting a decent pair that would stay with me till the day I die...
