We have a Yamaha Custom Birch Absolute kit at the studio I work at that needed new heads. We normally use a 13" DW snare with it. Yesterday I went out and bought some heads for the kit based mainly on the salesman's suggestions because my knowledge of drums is still lacking. We got a Remo...

I'm intoxicated righjt now, quite intoxicated. But I wanted to share what I did miking drums today. This was using a Yamaha Birch Custom kit. I'll start with the most "experimental" part of what I did. I used a Blue Kiwi in bipolar mode about 3-4 ft above the drums - with each side of the...

BTW, the UAD1 card fuc#ing rocks! The only "problem" is now I want 2 of them.. I bought it after I started working at a pretty nice studio (Otari Concept console, Mackie HDR, VoxBox, Manley and Drawmer compressors, DBX 166's, Drawmer gates...) and I actually prefer mixing in Cubase SX 2.0...

I just found a nice mic combo for electric guitar, both clean and distorted: the ATM25 (where you would normally put the 57 - about 2" from the speaker) and the BLUE dragonfly about 3 ft back. Beautiful combo, IMO - the ATM25 is clean but not harsh in the upper mids, and the dragonfly gives it...

My local guitar center only has the new Project Pack and then the original Mackie UAD1 cards in stock. They are asking $599 on the original, and won't negotiate! Should I consider this? Will I definitely want to purchase the Cambridge EQ later on? Also, since it is the Mackie one, do I still...

I have a session with Young BloodZ tomorrow (http://www.youngbloodzatl.com/) but have never recorded rap, let alone big name, national acts! I was wondering if their is a protocol to use for recording a major label rap group that has experience in much bigger studios than the one I'm working...

I will be recording a band today consisting of 2 acoustic guitars, cello, drums and 2 vocalists. I started working at the studio where I will be recording them recently and haven't had a chance to fully explore their mics. What experience have any of you had with using SM81's on acoustic...

Hey, I was wondering if you any of you were interested in trading your 828mkII for my Echo Layla 24, and I will throw in a Yamaha MU50 sound module, which I got for $350 a few years ago... I bought the Layla24 for my desktop under a year ago, and it works great. Recently I bought an 828mkII for...

I'm saving up to get a new console, and I am thinking I will get a digita mainlyl because of the flexibilty and the dynamic processors on each channel. How does the Tascam DM 24 compare to the Yamaha O1V? What about the Yamaha 01V96? The O1V96 looks to be the best, but I haven't talked to...

I bought a pair of Oktava MK-012's at GC for $120 a few weeks ago. I got them after the $99/pair sale, but still knocked $80 off the price at the time, so I was happy. They are now having the $99/pair sale on Oktava MK-012's again ... but not only on these, on MK319's also. Are the Oktava...

Can some direct me to some online references that explain/demostrate various OH micing techniques for drums? Which method do you like best/use most? Wnd could you explain it? Thanks!

None of the music stores in my area carry Studio Projects mics, so I haven't had a chance to try the C1. A few weeks ago I was deciding between th C1 and the AT3035, and the local shops DID carry the AT3035. I tried it and liked it alot, so I bought. But since I never tried the C1, I'm...
