Due to complains of the drums being too loud in our church, we are looking into some level reducing options. Currently we have a nice old Gretch Catalina kit which most of the drummers speak fondly of. The sanctuary is about 50' wide by 100' long about 30' high at the peak, typical New England modern construction.

Hi and hello to everyone, nice to be here.
I keep getting a strange high-endsound whilst recording vocals.
The mics are an SE11A and an SE Z5600A11 going straight into a Mackie
Onyx 1620. Level is at 0db and no effects in the chain and about 8-10 inches off the mics.
Anyone recognize what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Is there a cheap and easy alternative to the 250+ sound/issolation barriers? looks dont matter to me, I'm going for functionality.

Hello,
This is my first post, I hope it's in the right subforum.

Here's the problem:
I'm in a psychedelic band that consists of these instruments:
1. drums
2. amp for analog synth
3. guitar amp
4. bass amp
5. vocal amp
6. guitar amp
7. guitar amp

More specifically, I need suggestions on controlling bleed between mics-- in this case, controlling the drums as much as possible.

A few noob questions about booth setup:

Is it bad to setup a vocal booth and then setup the mic so u're singing into the corner (at a 45 degree angle)? Should the singer be facing one of the walls?

Are some acoustic foams better for sound control in vocal booths (for vocal frequencies) than others? I get confused looking at pyramids, wedges, tiles, etc..

ok i have no actual "studio" when i record, i just have my room(I'm 17 for christ sake). and i feel it has sh*tty acoustics for recording drums...but dont ask.

alright...you guys have never failed me before with your acoustical abilities. So here is what I am dealing with. my project studio is in my basement. The isolation room - is all concrete but there are a few spots where pipes come through the concrete and there are spaces that allow sound to travel from the laundry room in to the iso room.

ok update. i lowered the OH's closed to the set, tuned down the kick, put the sm57 under the snare til i get another one to go on top and bottom. .

also, added compression, EQ, some limiting and slight reverb...

tell me what you think..any improvement from the clip from the other day...anything sound really good/bad?

Our recording process has now began, and we'd like the drums to sound less "basement". We're doing a wieird kind of metal.

If someone could give me essential tips to make it sound better and more pro, it would be great. How to eq, which reverb and other effects?
