Hi guys,

I hope this would be the right place to ask.

Hello,

I'm in a band and we would like to do our recordings ourselves. I can handle recording the guitars, bass, and vocals, but I have a few questions about recording drums.

Hello experts,

Im new to the world of drum recording and wondering about whether or not to keep using condenser mics. I find them brighter and more sensible to transients, hence picking up a cleaner sound, but when I use a lot of condensers together the madness begins. Bleeds mostly. Which make editing near to impossible.

Can anyone advise me how to tape a drumkit using an analog eight track?
The only compressors I have are a few cheap Behringers (begin laughing about now!)
Can I get decent results using these to control peaks etc.., or do I just compress the kick with one and leave the rest of the kit alone?
Would it be OK to maybe, compress the kick and limit the toms and snare?

I would like you to post a link to a high quality audio clip of a drum recording that you have recorded, engineered, and mixed on your own for the purpose of all of us learning from one another.

Here is my recording

Hi, I hope you can help.

I have an RME Fireface UC and am wanting to record drums. I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about ding this. i.e. do I need a mixer? How to power 8 inputs.

my friend used ez drummer to record the midi drum track on REAPER

but when i open it to my laptop (fresh installation of REAPER and EZDRUMMER)
this comes up

what does this mean? >.

Is there a way i can replace a snare and kick drum with some type of trigger with out having to cut and paste the whole tracks? Some of our live recording sound bad because the snare and kick where miced badly.

I would like to replace the snare and kick with ones from my beta monkeys loops library

I want to record drums as I'm currently using midi

I want to record drums but I'm not sure how to record them so I have each individual channel on the computer so i can mix each drum mic individually on cubase. rather than having each drum mic just on one channel.

any help would be great thanks!

I use Toontrack Superior Drummer. Superior software changes the velocity, but I also manually change the velocity using piano roll in Sonar X1. When I try to export my audio, mix, and master it loud so that it will get close to matching todays volume, the drum velocity sounds flat as a pancake again and all one volume. I want all of the drums to sound natural and have different volumes.
