I've problems with my Low End...hehe

Hello!

When recording bass, either bassguitar, or upright bass, or kick drum I can't seem to get a real punch. I use an AKG D112 either at a distance or upclose to the source and it still does not make much of a difference. Often I need to cut a couple clicks off a freq around 120hz to 100 range, and it clears it up a little, but then I loose a lot of the sound.

Is that the telephone? No, its the snare drum!

I sometimes battle with a ringing in the snare. I have been reading a lot about drum tuning. What is it that makes the drum ring like so? Are the heads too loose, too tight, not broken in enough? I just don't know...
I can't very succesfully EQ it out. It's all over the frequency spectrum, but it seems to be around 700Hz that is most anoying.

I'm thinking of selling my Digi001 for the Tascam FW1804

I am considering selling my DIGI001 and getting the Tascam FW1804 that comes with Cubase LE. I have never used either of these products and would really like some opinions.

I am also thinking of getting the Digitech GNX4 as this might cover all my needs and comes with the midi drum software.
