One of my friends is in an electronic/grindcore band (Genghis Tron http://www.myspace.com/genghistron), and was talking about how sometimes he thinks his EP sounds a bit too digital/overprocessed. That's sorta inevitable with 2/3 of his band using synths and computer programmed beats.

I currently own a Gretsch Birch kit and Taye Basswood/Birch kit. I use a Shure Beta 52. My bass drum sounds awesome acoustically (deep, warm, punchy), but when I mic it, I'm not getting the same sound out of the speakers. The sound is real open and too sustained. It has the depth, but not the punchy sound I'm looking for. I'm not running any EQ on the kick. Will that make a big difference?

I am very interested in buying a firepod. I had one question though before i do. I know that phantom power is switchable in groups of four. I will probly (to begin with) only be using 2 maybe 3 condenser mics. My question is is it ok to use a dynamic mic in that group of four with the phantom power turned on. Does it affect the dynamic mic at all if i use it with phantom power on?

I'm looking for some good headphones for some nighttime "editing"
I find that most cans just kill my ears after 45 mins of listening to em (loud or not)
I need some flat, non- harrasing phones so i can do it for a few hours a night.

i realise that mixing is a big no-no but i find for editing vocals it works well. It's just my ears get tired too easy.

thanks
