Recording drums in a big stone church

I`ve got the opportunity to record in a big stone church. It has stone tiles on the floor and 3 out of 4 walls are concrete. The last wall is wood/cloth. The ceiling is wood too.

I`ve been reading several places in RO that the bigger the room, the better, when it comes to recording drums.

The church is about 30x30 meters and floor hight is aprox. 12 meters.

making a mix big... not loud

I'm working on my own project right now and I have one song almost done. But when I compare it to a reference CD, the reference CD song just seems much bigger. I panned my rhythm guitars hard right and left and tried to create stereo seperation, bass and lead down the middle and drums panned somewhat wide. Even doing that doesn't seem to make it sound much wider.

Cubase SX 1.01 CPR Files TOO BIG

Hi

I am having a problem where sometimes my cpr files are getting too big, like 4MB, for no apparent reason. I have other much more complicated songs with more audio and VST that are only 99kB, but on at least 2 occasions I got files which are just huge. This is really annoying.

The problem is they take about 6 minutes to load a 4MB file.

Mackie Onyx 1220 (or bigger) with Cubase SX3...

Just wondering if there are any members using an Onyx (1220, 1620, 1640) with Cubase SX3. and if so, how do you like it?

I recently purchased a 1220 and I'll be using it with Cubase SX3 and would really love to hear any pointers, tricks, tips or whatever as far as using the Onyx with Cubase! Setting up buses in particular... Help me get started any way you can. Thanks!

How big of a difference are we really talking about?

I've been researching any number of mics in the under $1k category and I find myself not really seeing a lot of difference between them on paper at least and even when it comes to reviews. Since its not really practical to test drive that many mics thats what I have to go with at least to narrow the field a bit. So the questions are these.
