Has any found that drums mixed all digital either directly in a DAW or through a digital console don't quite have the impact of going out the D/A's to an analog console. When mixing drums all digital I find then to have to much realness and not enough impact for rock and roll. Do you find the same thing?

Anyone have any sort of luck? I've read Julian's posts on other boards about the distressed mic outside the door. How big is your room and is it really dead? Is a somewhat triangular shaped room really bad? I'm just trying to get some sort of ideas, I'm sick of just having one big room for everything.

I just bought a 1178 and I was wondering what for it would be nice - I used it on a mix as mastering comp - very nice but coloured the sound pretty much

does anybody got experience with it?

maybe you even tell something about how you use it att/rel. .

Hi Jules,

I like alternative rock, and I see lot's of posts by you diggin the API 3124 for phating up drums.

Currently I use a UA 2-610 for OH's, and four channels of my Digimax for kick, snare, rack & floor.

If I got the API to replace the Digimax, how would you distribute the API and 2-610 around my six mic kit?

There's a concept at work out there, that if you think about it, makes some sense. At least to me it does.

Hey, it's me again with another quick question. I sample this kick from my roland mc307 to my mpc but what can i do to make the kick come through fuller in my mix with more thump and emotion...it sounds flat. I sampled a kick and snare that i tweeked with in Fruity Loops. That kick and snare sound hard, their clear, and they raddle my speakers... I'm lacking that from my 307 sample.

hey any one know how they record their drums mostly i hear da couple things, 1 u47, or 1 u47 and another mic.
who knows, anybody? i love their sound. dave is awesome.

I get decent drum sounds now but nothing with a particular "sound". I dont have any high-end gear so I'm not going for perfection just something that sounds cool. Anyone heard Refused, shape of punk to come record? Here's what I have now. (spider or something similar is coming hopefully by febuary)

Creating original sequences isn't the problem nor is sampling because i prefer original music. My question is how to create sounds that are MINE and noone elses. A couple of producer from my area (Timbaland and The Neptunes) have their own signature sound and it didn't take me very long to learn that their sounds don'g come from thousand dollar boxes like the roland mc-307 or mophatt.
