is it possible to record drums with an mbox? i know that some sort of external i/o device would be required to have enough inputs for all the drums mics, since the mbox only has two, but is there a device that does this?

if this wouldnt work, is drum triggering an alternative? what equipment would i need to purchase to make this happen?

SO! I'm thinking of getting two decent mic preamp's
either 2 Bricks, or a Sebatron vmp-2000 to go with my firepod

what parts of the drums should I record with the 2 good mic preamp's (the rest will go through the firepod's mediocre/bland pre's

Ususal set-up being:
kick
hats
snare
2xrack toms
floor tom
2 or 3 overheads

Well, everything is basically done, I just need to master the drums better. The drums sound ok, the cymbals are a little loud, but its home recording, what can I really do...

Ok.
I record onto a Tascam 488 thru a Behringer 2 channel compressor and put the drums thru a 8 channel Behringer mixer.

Can anyone suggest some good levels for compression for the drums?
I'm looking for a nice, deep bass drum sound and a solid, crisp snare hit.

So, lets say for instance, you have a living room, lots of funiture, and you want(NEED) to record the drums only through one microphone, directly to your computer. I've done this before... And hell, it sounds not bad at all for a crappy home recording, sounds much better than the other local bands around here...

i have only four microphones to record the drums with. we do it in a very large open room. usually we put one in the bass drum, one in between the hi-hat and snare, one overhead, and one near the ride cymbal and the floor tom. Sadly this is all recorded onto one track. So all the mixing of the drums must de done before it is recorded. then when eq it, it eq's the whole drumset.

I will be recordinging drums in a dormatory soon and was wondering if anyone had some tips to make the best of it. The only room I have to record in sounds pretty bad.

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

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.

Hi guys.

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