Hello,

Although I normally only post in the non-pro forums regarding gear, I figured I'd stroll on over here for this particular question to get a pro answer.

Hi everyone,
I am an audio engineering student and I was looking for some insight. I am doing a recording of a percussion ensemble concert on Saturday and one of the pieces is huge. I wanted to get as much insight/advice as possible before then.

Hey, Im from Colombia and Im into recording a percussion group, similar to STOMP. Any help with that? Tips, Info, Links. thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm starting to record a musical/theatrical proyect called TEKEYE, from Bogota Colombia. The recording is only for the musical part, some of the instruments that will be recorded are: Plastic Trash cans, basketballs, brooms, matches, pans, water cans etc. It is very similar to the STOMP format.

Hi, first post here at recording.org

I am looking to extend my microphone collection, specifically I want to build up a good kit for acoustic strings, winds and percussions (mostly ethnic instruments).

Hi guys,

Greetings all,

Can any of you point me in the right direction for some basics on recording a percussionist in a studio setting? I need info on suitable mics and placement for a variety of percussion instruments - ranging from congas to triangle and other metallic-sounding items.

Thanks in advance. John F.

hello ppl

I need help on recording two indian instruments...the Tabla and the Thavil http://www.indian-instruments.com

In the 70's 80's and 90's I used The Linn Drum and Akai's MPC series for drums in most songs. Most Top 40 I listened to back then used programmed drums with midi.
Why? Once you appreciate how simple and, IMO great quality samples sound in pop music, it is really hard to look back. All I can say is, thank you to Roger Linn.

I had started a thread here the week before Chritmas on this subject. I understand some threads were lost due to a bug in the system. The topic was recording acoustic percussion and a number of useful techniques were suggested. Unfortunately I did not save the info before it dissapeared but actually between remembering suggestions and my own experience the session went real well.
