I recently purchased two AT3035's to mic drums and vocals mainly. I also have two sm57's. What would be the best way to distribute these mics over the kit. i was thinking of using the 57's as overheads... one at3035 on the kick and one on the snare? obviously the at3035's would be better overheads. :evil:

I was trying to get a large room (15 x 18 x 12') ready for recording and was looking for ideas to absorb the reflections off the cinder block walls. I was trying to find something a little more classy than just stapling carpet to the wall but not as insanely expensive as foam from online or whatever.
thanks :lol:

I need help deteriminig the best mix position for a room that will be a mix/live room used for Guitars, Vocals, Bass (DI Box) and Keys. Drums will be recorded sporadically on an infrequent basis.

Hi all, can any of you guy/gals give me some advise on room tuning. I have a great room good equiptment and need to know if there is a external eq/tuner out there.

Thanks for the advise

Mic: RODE NTK

and everything else.

Sorry, wrong forum. I'll post in the acoustics forum.

Can anyone please give me some other tips on what I do with the vocal track(s) in my mix to make them sound better?

What I do at the moment is use 2:1 compression, plate reverb, very little eq and that is basically it. My vocals end up sounding okay but against the rest of the music sounds a bit 'too honest' and unprofessional.

Hey folks,

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

I have read several articles about treating the studio for proper acoustics, and it confuses the hell out of me. Just when I think I have a plan, I read another article that turns my brain to mush.

This pertains mostly to monitoring and mixing as opposed to tracking...

Hello.
