hello...does anybody have tips on tracking a drumkit that's in the same room as the console? I've tracked drums many times, but never while I'm in the same room. The room is about 700 sq feet. Mic placement shouldn't be too hard and once I get good test sounds to tape, I can just monitor the meters.

what do you guys think?

-A

any ideas on good roomor ambient mics? :?
a pair of snall condensers perhaps?

I've read what seems like 50 different ways of compressing the room mics. I'll start by saying I'm definitely going for a John Bonham(no, we don't have him for a drummer, but someone who plays similar) type sound.

Hi guys

i was watching a documentry about Tin Pan Alley and how they created the echo chamber by recording in the bathroom, because of the reverb coming off the chiprock.

if wanting to record at home, would you recommend using these technic or can you give me any advice into creating a affordable echo chamber mic room.

cheers

how can i know..bass,hi,mid response in my room is good enough...is there anykind of equipment or anything that can test itself the needs of the room... i mean i can't afford an acoustic engineer so how can i myself do it...please some guidence

Most of my friends who have Home Studio's have their garage converted into something very nice and costly that looks like a Star Wars space ship with lights off their racks glowing in the room with a computer that could probably run a space ship. I don't have that pleasure or that kinda cash . But each year I record at least 4 CD's and I have yet to hear 1 finished song from them.

Hello guys
I 've recently bought Spectrasonic's Trilogy for my bass sounds.Since I'm not a bassplayer I'm looking for some inspiration as far as bass grooves and this way I'm also thinking about purchasing some other (phrase based) Bass VST
I've done little bit of a research and there are 4. products which I might be able to use.
-Virtual Basist (Steinberg) - VB

What do you guys recommend speaker wise for hip hop or Dance music. I need extremyl accurate Bass that is tight and true. I don't want hyped upi sound. I want to be able to mix as accurate as possible.
I have right now JBL-LSR28p's They are cool but i am lloking for something that is louder and a lower extende range say down to 30hz
thanks

hello,

i'm just interested in how you use reverb, room etc... in the mix at drums, guitars, bass, vocals. how do you work with the "mainreverb" and what kind of verb-fx you use on snare or kick or other instruments.

how many different reverb-Fx you use in a track?

i found out that this is one point why my tracks do not sound as they should.

Just purchased a "WhisperRoom" to do over dubs.
Dims are .. 2' 11.5" x 4' 4.5" x 6' 8"

Has a nasty standing wave appearance at 250Hz .. pretty much makes it useless as a vocal booth in it's present state.

I have a couple of roominator kits coming from Auralex.

Do you think some of the diffusers and bass traps from these kits may resolve my issue ?
