OK, so I am starting my own little studio (really little) and I am looking for somewhat cheap ways to get a really clean really powerful sound. My friend said he recorded with a guy that uses a small pro tools set up and uses triggers for the bass drums and toms. I listend to the recording and holy sh*t was it good!

Hi there

I use a package called Drumkit From Hell to program drums (i place the audio files by hand in Logic which is time consumming, tedious and boring) but i really need to know how to be able to play the drum sounds using a keyboard. i obviously know that it can be done... but how? What software would i need?

I'm a Mac user, so it would have to be OSX compatible

I'm running logic pro 7, and i will be using a sennhiser e901 kick drum mic and i was wondering if any one could tell me how to get that killer tone that all the big metal bands have (like that on the new roadrunner records CD)?
and advise for recording drum kits would be great actully?
regards

i need some help. we have no idea how to record our drum set. we have experience with recording guitar and vocals, but not the drums we just got. here is our setup: 5 piece set(standard) hi-hat and crash. we record acoustic guitar and vocals thru M-audio firewire solo recording interface. the guitar is recorded a Behringer b-5 condenser "pencil" mic.

I am mixing something that has poorly recorded drums and bass (don't ask it is not my fault). I'm wondering if anyone has any good strategy to get the most out of this kind of situation.

Is the best way to record my Korg Triton to D.I. both left and right channels into a decent pre-amp i.e. Focusrite Octo Pre?

Should I record my synth parts in mono or stereo or does that depend on the sounds I'm trying to record and how the fill up the stereo field in the track I'm working on?

Also should I D.I. my Alesis SR16 drum machine through the pre-amp?

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?

Does anyone know any tricks to the Def Leppard drum sound, especially Pyromania? I am mostly interested in the snare sound.
