here is my situation:

my drummer has a sh*tload of drum mics and a sh*tload of drums, a huge set, and likes to use them all when redcording. He also has a Peavey PV20 mixer with 16 mic inputs. This is what we use for live sound but we are about to start recording using it.

Ok this is my first post on this site, but I have been reading all the great info on here for a couple years now...I'm in the midst of recording my band on my Korg D16, yes I know its not the greatest, but I know how to use it very well.

Hello, I'm pretty amateur at this whole recording business and it shows with my limited equipment I'm mostly interested in what people think is the order of importance of drum compression on 'rock' drums (not really for normal rock music, the musical style is in the vein of Fugazi, Cap'n Jazz, Hot Snakes, Gang of Four etc) as I've only got two mono hardware compressors, two mixers (each with st

Hey guys,

I am planning to record a drummer playing an electric drum kit through Midi and then use VST effects to enhance the sound.

I am just wondering it is possible to use VST effects on Midi tracks... or are VST effect only a feature for audio?

ok before i start, I'm new, so if theres a big long thread somewhere that answers my questions, feel free to just link me and il read.

I know how difficult it can be to get drum tracks down. Micing is a pain, MIDI is a pain, loops don't get you what you want.

I had the same problem. All the new stuff, DFH and the like still aren't intuitive enough for even my wide and technical ability.

But not anymore!

Hey guys and gals,

I'm looking to get some triggers so I can play some beats or w/e and then on the computer assign some samples to each trigger or manipulate the sounds on the computer or use it with Reason or something.

This summer I will be producing a demo for a friend of mine.
Well I need a few different hard rock kits. every thing from a metal kit to a fat 70's rock kit.
I am using logic to do the production. So I am looking to buy either a program with samples or just a sample library that I can map to the esx24.

Hey guys. i have an Alesis DM5 and i no longer need it. i Could just sell it but i noticed it has an midi in and output. Anyway i could possibly assign these sounds to a Midi controller or something?

I'm jus trying to see if i could use it in any ither way before selling it,

An old buddy of mine and amazing drummer, who played with Ben Folds for a while, is coming in to town this weekend to lay down some tracks for me.
