Wonder if anybody has any feedback or experience in this area.

How do you get a room mic in phase with the drum kit if it is a good 8 feet from the drums?

Here is a room I am trying to figure out how in the hell to set it up for tracking AND mixing.
It will be a decent sized attached garage with 8,9 or 10 ffot ceilings, and I havent decide which height yet, but I need to soon.
The floor plan is here:

I've been the proud owner of a pair of Mackie HR824 monitors for the last year but now I'm considering something else. First of all, I record and mix in the same room, which happens to be very tempermental. I've treated it adequatelly with foam, layed down some carpet, etc., but the way the room is configured limits the ways I can set it up to only one.

:confused: I have just recently built a project studio in a 2000 sqr/ft lot. The partition wall between my studio and the shop next (I am in a strip mall ) was said to be 14" wide - staggererd studs 5/8 drywall with insulation. To achieve an STC of 55 we built on accordingly. As it turns out the wall between me and the next door is roughly 8" - not on staggered studs but with insulation.

Got a question for you, When I plug my guitar into the line in of my cheap designed for games soundcard, I have to pull the fader(in the windows volume control-recording panel) damn near all the way down. The music still comes back at a decent level, comparable to an mp3 I have stored on the hard disk. But I was wondering if this was normal.

Hello.

The 13th of april some friends and I are going to record one of our local bands. Now, we've got some equipement but it's rather less. Is there anyone who can give me some tips too make this sound as good as possible?
Maybe I'll enumerate the equipement.

Go figure. Over at seasoundaudio.com, we've been working collectively to write drivers and improve our Seasound Solo 24/96(SS went out of business, it was Tom Oberheim's company).

I tracked a college rock band this past weekend and I grew a bit fustrated with the limited headroom on my Sytek mic preamp's.

I used them on a SRW bass cabinet/RE-20, a fender amp/M-88, snare/57, and kick/TLM-103. I had to move the kick to a different mic preamp because it would overload with the gain all the way down. The mic was about 3-4 feet in front of the kick.
