Hey everyone! Okay, I recorded my band's upcoming EP. Need some suggestions on the mixing and overall tone of everything. Here's the specs on the drums. Recorded in a 16X16 room with wood floors, nice reverby touch. Kick- Shure Beta52 (5 inches from beater) Snare- SM57 Rack Tom- Audix F10 Floor...

Hello, Right now I'm in the process of recording my band. But we are having some problems with the echo and reverb of the room being the drums are in a circular cut out in the room. Also there is no real isolation for the vocals except out in the main room. Is there any cheap efficient ways to...

Hello, My band has a gig coming up this weekend and I haven't had much experience with tesing out different heads and how they each differ live. My band's sound is along the lines of Deftones/Hard Rock sound and I was just wondering what would be the best heads to obtain deep sounding toms and...

Hello, I am interested in buying the drum pad on the link below. I was wondering what kind of module do I need or what other equipment I need to make it work. I am wanting something with different drum sounds and other non-drum effects. Thanks in advance...

Im thinking about purchasing drum triggers for my toms and snare!! I don't want to run effects through them but I want to make them deeper and more Beasty sounding. Can drum triggers do that or do i need just to mic them. Is that what drum triggers are for and also do i need to buy a module to...

what are the things i need the most with about a $200 budget? I already have a 788, 2 sm57's, sm48, condensor mic, mackie 1402 vlz pro...some other little crap. is there anything i need to get that will really improve the recordings? thanks

Alright I just got done recording, but when its quiet an annoying sound lingers among the track. At the beginning, theres a buzz, im recording from the 788 into Sound forge? This is my first recording onto the computer so it won't be that great, but any suggestions would be great! Heres the link...

Well it sounds like CRAP!!!!! Straight off the 788 into Acid! IS there any other better programs that lets you record from line in and sounds halfway decent? I guess I gotta get used to this recording. I forgot to put the bass hole mic in the bass hole it was sitting outside my room. I guess u learn

I have a DOD GS30 FX board. Im recording to a 788 tascam. Should i mic the amp with the effects or take the line out from the FX board and instead of going into the amp go directly into the guitar slot on tascam. I tried it and i like the line out from the FX board? Am i missin out or something...

I am using 2 57's overhead on the left and right side of the drums and a mic in the basshole and it sounds almost perfect!! Instead of Trimming the level all the way out to mic just lower the trim just a tad and it gives you the perfect sound! It's great, just thought that might help some of you...

I recently installed an aquarium bass drum head with a hole for a mic. I can't really afford the big shure mic that is made for the bass drum but i was wondering if i could use an sm 48 or put some other mic in their that would make it sound pretty good? Or do i need to shell out 150 + bucks and...

Im recording the guitar with a Peavy Bandit 112 Amp and a Tiny Marshall. Should I ues line out or Mic the speakers? This is my first time at recording the guitar? Also my Peavey gives me a buzz that I can't stand, Is there any way to reduce that, maybe with the sound proofing sheets. I'd...

I wanted to know what to use to surround my drums while recording with another person? Plexi Glass, Or the CONE walls? Also is their any other home techniques you could use to build your own sound walls to help filter out the sound so it is a clear recording of the drums?

Hello, I have a Tascam 788. I am going to record the drums, the guitar, and the vocals while I'm having another guy come in and do bass. Which is the best way to record and what should I record first??? Guitars first, Drums first? Also if I am using Two guitars, electric and acoustic, which one...

Yes! I need to know where to put my mic on the snare!! I see some place it on top and some on bottom. What gives the best sound? Or could you put it in both places? Thanks
