Hi I work in a recording studio. Each time I record and mix a drum, I find myself spending more brain energy figuring out hout to make the drums sound as good as a sampler track without having too much hi-hat in the mix. This is sad.

Hi all

Good Evening RO,

Does anybody have any ideas or know how to get a vocal track clean from drums/acoustic guitars bleeding into the mic on a live multitrack recording?

I did a session years ago before I had better technique in getting a live multitrack recording.:roll:

I would like to get the vocal isolated so I can fine tune and bring it up in the mix.

My band was in a studio yesterday recording drums for our EP (we're doing the rest in my studio).

The drum bleed is absolutely overpowering.

We're doing fast heavy metal so a clear cut drum sound is essential.

Noise gates cannot tame this.

I am in the market for a different pair of overhead piano mic's, to use for FIELD RECORDING ie concerts etc.. I record acoustic piano jazz trio's on location. I am looking at Gefell, Josephsons or Beyer.

Would any of you have sound samples or recordings using these mic's on a grand piano?

How do you go about recording drums while simultaneously recording guitar and bass without the drummer's monitor mix bleeding through to the drum mics? Is there a way to do this other than monitoring through headphones?
