Recording drums Tube prees before or after?

I'm recording drums 8 tracks into logic 7.

I'm going thru a digimax 96 thru a 2408 mk2.
ive been using my peavey vmp 2 tube pre for the overheads two mk 12

Micing drums for a rock band in my studio for the 1st time

I own a small semi private studio in which i've done a lot of & gotten pretty good with recording & engineering vocals, electronic/digital gear and Guitars. However i have been asked by a friend to consider recording a project with a rock band using all real instruments and have no experience at all with Micing drums. I have listed my euipment below..

I'm preparing to produce my first of many, more following, live recording sessions in the studio. This a transition I've been looking forward to and want to start off on the best foot possible.

Beginnger here... multi-tracking /recording drums question

Hey. Bare with me and my ignorance for I have just started delving into the world of recording on PC. Well, I should say in general. I've only fooled around a bit with analog.

recording drums w/console in same room

hello...does anybody have tips on tracking a drumkit that's in the same room as the console? I've tracked drums many times, but never while I'm in the same room. The room is about 700 sq feet. Mic placement shouldn't be too hard and once I get good test sounds to tape, I can just monitor the meters.

what do you guys think?

SYNC : Drumstation ---> Korg polysix ARP IN

Hello studio freaks!

I`ve got a Korg polysix (whick i love, hehe) and would like to know if it is possible to syncing the arp`s tempo from the DIN out of my novation drum station (it uses ROLAND`s tr900 and tr808 connection at 24ppqn) to the ARP in of my 26 year old Korg polysix!

Is there a DIN to JACK lead for the polysix?

Thanks!
