    Cheapest/most effective way of recording drums (possibly using what I have)

    So I am back...with questions lol. I received all the parts, set up my room, bought some $3 dollar each 10' XLR cables from guitar center and thought I was ready to go until I realized my US-1800 didn't come with a power adapter. After getting the run around from the West LA Guitar Center store...

    Sound blankets and sound blocking

    That makes a lot of sense, it did seem as though it was mainly cutting out just the high frequency sounds as you could still hear a lot of "through the walls" sounding bass. It was just way nicer not hearing the loud, sharp crack of a snare or cymbal in the living room as if you were next to it...

    Cheapest/most effective way of recording drums (possibly using what I have)

    Doh! forgot that they would use the XLR output and not line out. No biggie, I spent a little less than I thought I'd have to so I getting some cheap cables shouldn't be a problem. I can't wait to get this stuff, set it up and start recording! Thanks again! I'll try to get some recordings up when...

    Sound blankets and sound blocking

    Hey guys, I have been building a drum recording room in my basement and trying to isolate the sound as best as possible so it isn't heard from the rest of my house. I did a really cheesy job with everything being that I am broke and on a tight budget, but I am hoping it works. Right now it is...

    Cheapest/most effective way of recording drums (possibly using what I have)

    Thank you JG! I just ordered a used US1800 and the used CAD pro 7 piece set from guitar center for less than $300 shipped with a 1 year warranty on the US18. Just wondering , my best bet would be to use the mic inputs I am guessing (i believe I will need the phantom power for the condenser mics...

    Cheapest/most effective way of recording drums (possibly using what I have)

    Thank you everyone!! So what I am getting here is I should pick up a US-1800 as the preamp/mixer A CAD Pro 7 or 4 piece mic kit And a set of better condenser mics for the overheads? I like the idea of getting good compressor mics that can double for vocal recording (or even guitar recording)...

    Cheapest/most effective way of recording drums (possibly using what I have)

    Hey all, I have been recording drums for songs I have written for years now using my mobile pre two channel preamp, garage band and combination of a Senheiser e825 and Sure (forget number) mics. Sometimes it doesn't come out half bad when I really take the time to get everything set right, but...
