Hi,

I have 8 mics on my kit. 2 C1000 cond's overheads. sm57 under snare, 3 matching Audix mics on each tom a sm57 on the high hat and a brand new AKG D112 on the kick. Now i run that through my mixer direct outs into my 002R direct ins. When i do that should i pan on the mixer or in PTLE? or both? How bout EQ? I use the mixer cause the pres are better. Thanks

Okay, I set up the ol' portable studio today, using a lot of equipment for the first time. It went well, except:

My Sebatron vmp 4000e would not send signal into the DigiDesign. I tried everything and it wouldn't work. I let it warm up for MORE than enough time...anyone else have a similar problem with it?

Ok First...equipment: Right now I'm still in the market for more equipment but this is what I have...digi002 console, G5, D6, 6 SM57, 1 SM beta 58,
I still need 2 condensor mics and a mic preamp...either 4 or 8 channel to hook up to the 002.

How would I go about recording drums for that genre...I'm hearing a lot using triggers...coated heads...

Hi

I'm trying to mix some drums that I got from a custom drum track recording service.

I haven't had much experience doing this, and am struggling to get a sound happening.

The drum service sent a stereo mix of the drums as well as the nine individual drum tracks, and for practice, I am trying to match the sound of their mix.

How do you go about recording drums while simultaneously recording guitar and bass without the drummer's monitor mix bleeding through to the drum mics? Is there a way to do this other than monitoring through headphones?

I`ve got the opportunity to record in a big stone church. It has stone tiles on the floor and 3 out of 4 walls are concrete. The last wall is wood/cloth. The ceiling is wood too.

I`ve been reading several places in RO that the bigger the room, the better, when it comes to recording drums.

The church is about 30x30 meters and floor hight is aprox. 12 meters.

I want a great eq for shaping kick drums, that would work well with a api 3124, and d6 mic.

thanks

Hi everyone, Id like to hear some opinions on how to mix a heavy metal drum recording. Ive got this guy coming next week to my studio to record some heavy metal drums. I would like to make a very good Bass Drum sound, which is very important in this type of music.

I would be pleased if someone's got any special tip for this session.

Thanks in advance

Our recording process has now began, and we'd like the drums to sound less "basement". We're doing a wieird kind of metal.

If someone could give me essential tips to make it sound better and more pro, it would be great. How to eq, which reverb and other effects?
