So I am using Sonar 3 PE. I recorded some tracks with midi drums. I then used my Casio keyboards drum sounds and just triggered them with Sonar. I used the 1/4" stereo out (headphone) out of the keyboard and ran that through my tube pre-amp into my Layla24. They sound ok, but definitely not what I am looking for.

i just recorded some drums and i didnt use any preamps cause my mixer is digital its a Korg d16xd and it has presets on it but i used some if the effects on the board such as reverd compression and some gates but the drums still sound really weak i have a art dps2 mic preamp amp do you think it will richin up the sound. what preamps do you guys use for kicks snares toms etc. .

so we have the living room (around 20 by 35ft) and then my practice space (about 10 by 15ft) ones super dry and the other not at all. which should i do drums in?

Hi All,

I dont know if this is possible but maybe someone can help/.

I have drum tracks laid out the dont sound that great - I wanted to know if there is a way that I could take the snare drum track (or any track for that matter) and use that track to trigger a drum sampler such as battery - or even bfd.

If any on e know of a way to do thi splease let me know -

I would like to get a new drum set that would be easier to record. I currently own a mid level older Premier kit, and it sounds good, but is getting old, and I would like to replace it

so what is esier to record, Birch or Maple

just FYI I love toms that sustiain a bit., not a short thump

I wanted to find out if there is a way to use my Korg Triton Le with a trigger on drums?
The drum sounds are really phat on the Triton and I wanted to use a trigger when I record.
Anybody doing something simular to this already? :mrgreen:

How many room mics are you guys using when recording a drumset ? where do you usually place them ?

I was thinking of buying a Soundelux as a room mic and use my AKG 414 b/uls as overheads. r do you guys believe its better to use two U195s as overheads and the AKG's as room ? Thanks for the imputs>

allright. so I'm looking into getting a Pro Tools setup. i wanna be able to do a full drum kit through it. so in looking at the digi002 rack mount, u get 4 mic preamps. thats nothing. i need at least 8 for a kit. so I'm not exactly sure how one goes about doing this.

Hi again,

I recently heard about this '3 Mics Technique for Drums' invented by Glynn/Andy John, however, I couldn't find a visual representation of the setup. I was wondering if anyone can give me a clearer explanation of how to achieve this technique?

And if anyone would like to share their own/favorite 3 mic technique, that would be awsome, too!
