Where to place the Drums in the room?
Opinions on this?
The room is a drywalled basement with a low ceiling (prob about 8'.) Cement floor covered with carpet. The room is probably 20 x 30. The kit is against the back wall, standard stage setup. Any suggestions for better placement of the kit?
Right now I have crisply smeared mud if that makes any sense.

Drums room mics - too much cymbal
hello.
I'm having an enormouse problem getting a drum sound at the moment. I generaly don't like to use too much close Micing but end up having to because I can't deal with the noise from the cymbals any other way. Lots of ride required. Room is smallish 15x12 and has quite a low ceiling.
I used to have foam on the ceiling but this got taken down when I re decorated.

Oh.. RTAS plugs... less headroom?
Hi! I know this does not make sense but...
I was finishing a mix a few hours ago. As I were using plenty of plugs and was a little lazy to deactivate some so as to open the junior mastering plugs across the master fader, a strange thing happened:
At first, I had: Q10RTAS > TC MASTER X 5 TDM > Power Dither TDM > PAZ TDM

Room simulator effects
I've never had a chance to use one of these things, so i'm not sure what the effect actually sounds like. i do have an Aphex Aural Exciter (Type C) and think i understand it's principles of operation. (synthesizing harmonics)
