Tried a bit of drum Micing last night. One mic pointing at snare just next to the tom. Maybe 6 inches from the snare. This one sounded good.
Another mic on the opposite side of the toms under the cymbal, trying to find a dead zone. This wasn't so great.

Hi, can someone please point me to a nice step by step tutorial on comping multitrack drums in Pro Tools? I'm a master in Logic, but pretty much a retard in Pro Tools. I've tracked 12 takes of drums one over top the other. All of the takes are nicely filed over in the region list. Now I want to audition each one and pick the best parts. Then edit them all together to form one brilliant take.

Can anyone speak to the ease/quality/pros/cons of using something like BFD or DFH via a keyboard controller versus a trigger kit like the Roland V-Drum?
I'd like to get some drums rolling (no pun intended) in my recordings and don't really feel like going the route of depending on loops or the manipulation thereof.

Next weekend my band wants to do some rough recordings of our songs so we can start pre-production on them. Of course drums will be first, and to a click but I have some questions about recording them into my mbox2.

And if so, what are your opinions on it? Could you recommend other drum loop libraries that are strictly loops?

I've been experimenting for several years now, and without making this a thread of "boost this and cut that", "use this not that". I was wondering if there is a useful reference (book, CD, etc) for drum eq/compression/gate/etc available (in addition to my ears and creative experimentation).

I just installed AD on Sonar5/vista 32 bit. As dumb as this sounds I can not open the damn thing in Sonar. Any Help would be sweet!

Hey, I've just bought my Tascam 2488 MKII and a whole heap of mics.
I'm new to recording and wanted to know if there are any tips (which I'm sure there are) on recording drums.

My kit is;

Anybody got any suggestions to where I can find some really good virtual hip hop drums?
