Thanks for the advice, I'm not a big fan of the "big name" computer companies because of all the misc junk they add to their machines. Does anyone have a link on how to "dual boot"?

I've been using a Firepod with my home PC for a few months now and need to be able to take it places. I just bought a laptop and want to use it for recording drums on site (4-6 mics). Any tips, tricks or recommendations for best results and performance? Here are the specs: Hp Windows XP AMD...

I just orderes the Yorkvilles from http://www.musicalinstruments.com for $379. Thats the best price I could find. Now I can't wait to try them out. Hope all yous reviews are right about them. Thanks.

ORTF??? What's that?

I haven't tried in front of the kit. I tried the XY technique above and slightly behind the kit but I seem to get a better overall sound with the technique I'm using now (see first post). I'm not sure what its called but I found the thread on this board somewhere. Anyone have any other...

Well what monitors are talking about?

The overheads are about 42" away. The only problem with bringing them in closer is the drummer hitting the mic, it never fails. Do you the overheads sound somewhat decent? Position aside, I feel like I should buy something a little better. I picked these up from an Ebay store for new dirt cheap...

Thanks for the links, I've been searching for a while now and these are some of the most helpful.

Thanks for the info. What exactly do you mean by cuts in the 200Hz - 400Hz area? Thanks again.

I posted this already but I thought this would help on this thread also. OK, here is my first sample of recorded acoustic drums. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Please don't be too critical of the playing as I am not the drummer. I just played on here for the test. Equipment used: OH's...

I think the kick and the snare sound great. Maybe just fatten the snare a little...What mics/setup are you using? I've been experimenting the last few days with drums and haven't come up with anything worth keeping yet. (using a Shure Beta 52 and sm57 for kick and snare)

Thanks for your help...can't wait to start recording!

I finally got my Firepod and I'm about to start recording. My question is about the phantom power. The power switch affects channels 1-4 and/or 5-8, so what if I need phantom power on channels 1 and 2 only...can I still use channels 3 and 4 with regular (non-phantom powered) mics. Another...

Finally after too many hours researching I have finally made my decision and ordered the firepod. Seems like a pretty good deal from a dealer on Ebay ($599 with a power conditioner, presonous comp16 compressor and free shipping) Should be here by the middle of the week. Today, I'm ordering 2...
