I'm going to start recording soon and i was wondering if anyone knows what is a good inexpensive overhead drum microphone is a bass drum microphone is?

Hello guys
I 've recently bought Spectrasonic's Trilogy for my bass sounds.Since I'm not a bassplayer I'm looking for some inspiration as far as bass grooves and this way I'm also thinking about purchasing some other (phrase based) Bass VST
I've done little bit of a research and there are 4. products which I might be able to use.
-Virtual Basist (Steinberg) - VB

Hey guys. i have a question for your expeirnced minds. I have recently aquired a 26 inch cerwin vega subwoofer speaker. its 400 watts.

I was wondering, what do i need to get this thing set up so i can run my bass through it, for live gigs. I realize, i will need a head of somekind, and a cabinet to put the speaker in.

I think this speaker was used in a night club.

Im in the process of mastering some drum tracks and have one quick question:
while mixing the snare and bass drum,is it advisable to have the bass drum set at a lower db level,and let the bass guitar bring the lower freq,s into the mix? :?

A friend of our guitarist recorded our band awhile ago. He gave us a mastered version, and I didnt like at all what he did with my bass.

Is it normal for monitor speakers to rattle if I'm playing a bass patch from a keyboard? When I play the full mix everything sounds OK, but when I solo the Bass track, he speakers rattle. I am using MAudio BX5a monitors.

Thanks
Mike

Hi all! Just wondering if any of you have ever tried recording electric guitar/electric bass with a Sennheiser E604? Have read people saying that the E604's sound a LITTLE like MD421's on toms, so therefor i wondered if they would be good as bass/guitar-mics. I know it is not very common to use these as mentioned, but. .anyone have any experience?

Wondering what the best mic and preamp would be good for a balloon bass.

I am thinking of throwing money at this, so Sennheiser's and Millennia might be the go.

So,it seems most of my business is metal/metalcore music.I can get an acceptable sound.But i want better than acceptable.Its not good enough to get a great kick sound and bass sound because i cant get them to sound like the CDs I'm referencing.Im lacking a presence in the bass guitar usually.Most songs in this genre just bury the bass and bring the kick out as much as possible but id rather not

alrighty folks, it seems like a simple question, I own a dbx 576 and am recording bass, I borrowed a MEEK from a friend (not sure of model) it is an older 2-rack space pre, with comp and enhance, big input knob on one side and output on the other.
