hi everyone, I'm kinda new at the recording thing so try to bare with me. lol. ok here it is. i have a Boss DR-670 drum machine hooked up with my Pro Tools digi002 setup. I was told that ihave to have an audio track opened with a midi track when recording anything midi. This did give me input and output volume. BUT.
I need to buy a set of drum mics and my budget is not even enough to buy one REAL mic. My kit is pretty big (2 snare, 4 tom, 1 BD, and 7 cymbals) and I want the sound of close Micing the toms so that rules out the 2 overheads and a bass mic method. Its between the CAD pro-7 pack and the Samson 7 or 8 kit. They both have good reviews considering thier price. Does anyone have any insight?
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? :?
Does anyone here know of any particular software that does at least a decent job of simulating a real drum set. I just have some simple recordings (recorded with a desk mic, both vocal and guitars) and since I dont have a drumset I'd like to be able to expirement with different drum patterns to these songs I'm recording.
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!
Hello! Just a few quick questions.
I currently have some cheap CAD mics on my drums that work pretty good but since I'm getting more serious about recording, I'll be needing some better mics. What drum mics would you reccommend?
I was wondering knows of any decent acoustic drum samples. 24bit would be a plus. I would like to have a nice library of stuff for sampling in if I needs be when mixing.
Cheers.

Hi Guys
Recently I recorded drums for a rock band with some rented mics and the results of the kick were shocking.
I used 57's on the snare and toms, Audix overheads and a BETA 52 for the kick drum.
Hey Stickers,
sorry for this informal way of contacting you, I tried PM'ing you, but it wouldnt let me. .quick question for you, ...what preamps do you use on the drums.
Right now, I'm using the 4 Pre's that are built into the Digi 002...1 for my OH# 1, the 2nd for my OH#2, the 3rd for my Kick drum, and 4th for my snare.
I'm looking to try a stereo room mic set up on the drums for an up coming session I'm doing.
Just wondering if anyone has expereience with this. I'm not sure weather to go with a coincident pair or a spaced pair. I don't have the ability to do a MS techniques.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
