Does anyone have any experience with this? I read that this interface can also be used as a stand alone mixer. It has a lot of channels in the back... I have six drum mics that I would want to use... do I need a separate mixer or can I hook the mics in directly? Stereo to XLR cables possibly? Help!

So for the first time I am recording electro-drums via midi in PT8. I'm getting signal but no sound. Yeah I know it's probably a dumb i/o question but I liked to sleep through MIDI classes :) I have a midi track and a Aux Send... What to do? I am just wanting to record and use the drum module for the sounds NOT use a plugin for the drum sounds.

Riley, thx for moving the post.

Does the Mackie you speak of have inserts or direct outs on each input channel?

Hey guys. I recently got a new drum set, its OCDP. I've been playing drums for about 10 years now and i'm 16. I am interested in recording my drums. I want to put mics on all my drums including hi-hat and i'm gonna use 2 overheads...that puts me at 7 mics. Now... i have been looking into various audio interfaces but i really have no clue what i'm doing.

I've been recording my band with MIDI/sample drums for some time now, as I don't have the equipment to record real drums. This wasn't too awful as I beame pretty good at editing on Logic, but I'm now looking to record real drums, but I'm a total noob when it comes to recording with more than just 1 input at a time!

I wanted to create a topic where we can share drum recording techniques. I'll give an overview of some of the stuff I do at my studio but would love to hear what othert techniques people are using.

Hi,

Looking for Budget and nice mic for Drum recording Overhead and Kick ...

need suggestion and recommendation...

Thanks!

Hey all so I need your help on something. I have the option of A: using some kind of overhead technique and a mic on the ride and hh or B: Close Micing all cymbals/ride/hh. The style of music is modern punk/emo stuff. The room is not treated but I do have some rockwool wrapped in fabric propped up around the set. I need a wide stereo spread.

can anyone give me any tips on how to mix recorded drums so that every thing sound ok? Im a newbie at the whole home recording and I'm using the ezzdrummer, its ok but sometimes the ride cymbal is to low and the crash cymbals are to lound, but if I lower the crashes I lower the ride as well because of the overhead stuff which include the ride and the chrashes...!

Hi guys, I'm brand new here.
Be advised I know very, very little about sound and recording and I'm trying to record some drum covers for my youtube channel.
