Hi all- recently moved into a new place in Manhattan and I'm looking to start recording a demo on my own as the acoustics in here are great and my neighbors don't seem to mind so far (been playing electric guitar, singing, etc. fairly loud) but just to be sure that no one kicks my ass I want to be able to isolate the noise from my room and from my kit as much as possible.

Hi,

I'm gonna get my son a drumset. He's left handed, and I wonder if I should set the kit up for left or right handed playing.

Are any of you left handers playing right hand kits?
If so, have you any regrets?

Thanks

What's the rule of thumb when it comes to getting a "good" setting on your EQ for bass guitar and drums? :w:

Greetings! I've spent a couple years working with drum kits, but I have a small hand drum made from a gourd that I'd like to include in a couple segues on my band's CD. I can make some guesses, but I figured I'd see if you guys had any advice. My available mics at this point are a pair of C1000s and SM58s and 57s...

can someone help me ?
I'm a teenager very interested in learning everything about audio but i'm just starting, Im from monterrey, Mexico.

Can someone tell how can I record each piece of a drumset in one track when I record on a PC

i have a cubasis VST. and a creative sound blaster platinium. and a mixer Yamaha mx 20/6

what else do I need ?

hi all, I've been trying out a slapback echo on some drum tracks I recorded and frustratingly it's "so near so far"
I've got pretty much the full sound off one overhead mic and it's pretty good in a Charlie Watts kind of style (playing and sound)

Hi,

Would you say that most people program their own drums from scratch in a sequencer or do more people use samples and loops, or a combination of both?

I'm at the beginning of learning drum programming and want to get proficient as quickly as possible...of course.

I am looking for some advice when mixing drums using the 3 mic method regarding eq, grouping and general mixing techniques. I am challanged with getting the drums to have impact in the mix.

Eg. I want a little more air and I get a raging hi hat. I want to have a stronger kick and things get muddy or the bass looses impact.
