Hi all. Looking to add mics for recording acoustic drums to my studio.

Hey i'm working on an album with my band, and we are currently checking drums in a room that we've treated for the drum sounds we want. I have two LDC's behind the kit about 5 feet back and a couple feet off the ground, and there is a couch immediately behind them (there was a little too much reflection off the back wall getting into the mics and this destroyed it perfectly).

Hey everyone,

Probably a dumb question that I may already know the answer to, but I thought I'd ask anyhow.

Hello fellow studio junkies.
I am a drummer/aspiring studio tech.
I currently use Reason and its drum sounds to make beats. Being a drummer I feel it is cumbersome laying down 4 different tracks for something I could play in one take on a kit.

hi..

i want to record an entire drum kit onto my computer so that each drum has its own track in Logic Express.

now here's where the confusion lies..

i'll be needing about 8 inputs..one for each drum mic.

do they need to have preamps or can they be un-amped.

I am using Pro Tools 5.3.1 and I have Sampletank 2 XL and need some easy ways to make some drum tracks. I have heard lots about loops and stuff, as well as I could run a midi beat through Sampletank perhaps. Can anyone walk me through using samples and stuff, or post some good sites for samples and how to use them. I am just not a drummer.

Hi guys.

I'm new to this forum and I must say I find it quite good and useful.

Hi everyone, I'm brice and am new to this forum.

hey does anyone one know some methods and what not to how john feldman did the drums on the newest USED album - "In Love and Death" i just love the way they sound and and Feldman never fails to make drumks sound bad ass. anyone?

Hi,
I am going to try and track drums day after in my small recording room (10x10 feet). fortunately, the band listens to me and is willing to spend time and experiment (at least till the neighbours start yelling!).

the drummer set up the kit today and we tried a few Micing situations.

this is what I have :
