I am working with a great sounding but very dry drum kit. What kind of a drum room do you "put this kit in" in a mix ?
Do you let it share the "main reverb" (minus the kick drum)?
Do you give it a separate (smaller?)drum room ?
What kind of parameters do you use for such a drum room?

Hi Folks.

I’ve posted a question very similar to this one in the past but I'm looking for current opinions. We are looking at the Platinum Focusrite Octopre as a pre-amp for our Digital Performer 3.x setup. We are looking to use this mainly for recording drums into our MOTU 24i.

Anyone know if logic comes with a drum trigger plugin , or if there is a good one for sale.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm always running a little behind the times. I am currently using purchased midi drum tracks to insert into Adobe Audition and which drive a outboard drum machine(HR-16). I then record each drum sound(snare, hi-hat, etc) on a separate track in AA.

Anyone using or have used this mic? What's your opinion of it?

Understanding this to be an overly broad question,what is the best method to get top quality bass and drum samples?

Is it the sampler route,the soundfont route,the drum machine route,or someting else entirely?

What are the most common hardware devices like keyboards,like kurzweill,emu etc. .What are the various pros and cons in going that route?

I'd like to get a survey of what everybody likes to use on their drums with regards to reverbs, delays, and some oher spatial effects. Do you use outboard gear or plugins? what are they? any settings you like to shoot for? any tricks? I'm not looking for a "what's the best way blah blah blah" here, just whatever you like to do on your drums depending on the style.

Hello!

I'm sorry, I don't speak English very well, but I hope you'll understand me. ;) )

I have some drum loops CDs with defined tempo. That's all ok.

But I have to do in the end of the song "riterdando". So, how can I make this "time shift" from 126 bpm to 90 bpm (like Fade-Out) ?

Thanks for answers!

It's time for my English-lessons ;) )

Being a drummer myself, I'm always looking for a better way to record drums. The other day I tried recording individual pieces of my drums and then sequencing them in DP3. It came out better than I thought it would. I used an Audix D4 inside the kick (I have Tama Starclassic Maple drums which are awsome) and a tube condenser about 3 ft away.
