Will anyone share their cymbal miking tips? The Kick, snare, and toms sound rad individually, but when I add my two MXL overheads, or any mics on cymbals to the mix, I get undesirable pickup of the Kick, snare, etc. When I solo these cymbal mics, I just want to hear the cymbals. I'm using...

Thanks for everyones input. I checked out the API site. I'd Love to get an Avalon or some piece of Universal Audio gear, but I just don't see it happening right now. I would like to find something that will handle a whole drum kit. I'm looking at the Focusrite "Octopre" from sweetwater, but...

What are good choices for drum mic preamps? I have an AKG D112 on kick, 57 on the snare, Seinnheiser 604's on toms, Rode pair for cymbals. I have an ART Pro Vla for starters. I'm Looking at the Focusrite octopre line for under a grand. Are there any specific preamps, parametric eqs, or...

I love the POD XT Live. You just have to find your amp and cab models that you dig the best and stick wth them on all your settings for consistency. I dial up a JCM800, Line 6 4x12, with a TS808 and I'm set. That's the deal. You don't even need the stupid gate. That will suck your tone...

The MOTU 24 I/O Interface! It's the "Bad Dad!" One wire, 24 tracks! Make shure your computer can maintain a stiffy first! :D

I just bought a CE2000, new, last week. :) I've been powering four Yamaha SM15V Club series wedge monitors (THEY RULE!!!) all weekend with it. I switched out a QSC RMX 2450 for it. The Crown has less power, but has distinctly clearer mid/highs. Sounds great! It has these little caps that...

I have a Peavey Supreme 160, that I bought new 13 years ago, and it still sounds the same. A great head for chunky metal! It's manufacture date is 10-31-91, which makes it Rad! I reccomend this head for anyone starting out with their first head?/4x12. They can be had for $150! :D

8 channel preamp Would an 8 channel preamp be a wise choice for my drum tracks? Under a $1000 would be realistic for me. Any advice on this matter, or any gear that I have listed will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Sonic Albert. I guess my Quandry would be regarding using this outboard gear for drum tracks. I plan to use plugins for mixdown, but I want to utilize my outboard gear for a balanced drum sound. How would I use, say the preamp/compressor, on multiple channels (kick, snare...
