Musicians Friend
They are owned by Guitar Center....my local Guitar Center is AWFUL as far as service and knowledge and employee turnover is common. I rarely shop at GC unless its an in stock need it now part.
Not for vocals
I agree. I own a few different Earthworks omnis, and as fabulous as they are, they are too fabulous for vocals, pick up TOO much if that is considered a problem. But, as drum overheads or room mics and acoustic instruments, WOW.
Setup
Yes, drums had reverb, guitar and bass were Di'd throught PodXT's. Very wet on the guitar as he was experimenting with fusion type tones until the last lead. I agree on the kick and will try a D112. I did not use the earthworks pad. I think the placement of the OH killed the snare and...
Check out my thread in the recording techniqes section regarding tracking Drums with 3 earthworks mics. MP3 link there as well. Want feedback on the drum tracking. Thanks all. Sorry I posted in the wrong area.
I need some opinions on the drum tracking here. I used 3 Earthworks TC 20's. 2 as overheads, 1 for the kick. Here is an mp3 of the musicians that day warming up, tuning etc. You should of heard some of the REAL stuff they played, quite talented. Let me know your thoughts on the drum tracking...
Augment is the key word
Wow, I love the opinions here, I did a mix with just 3 earthworks mics, 2 OH one Kick and the only word I can use to accuately describe it was a "real" sound. Like you were standing there.
I never used my OH's to capture the entire kit per say but now that I hear your...
Going Digital
Well I bought a Tascam DM 24 today, still in the box, need to travel so I wont hook it up any time soon. I also got 2 additional ADAT cards so I have 24 channels I/O to the HD24. Now, the question is, should I keep the analog board as well and use the DM24 as a tool? The HD 24 is...
Can I get some opinions on how drum overheads are mixed after tracking. My initial feeling is the hi end (Cymbals) but more and more opinions I hear are that overheads are to capture the complete kit. I am using Earthworks TC30's for overheads. I must say they capture the entire kit very well...
Obsolete Indeed
I heed all your comments, I have it in here for client a client request. Thought it may be a low tech tool for distribution for some lower budget clients. But currently it is spitting out after tape insertion every audio dat I put into it into it and I do not know why. Thanks...
Dont do it, Noooooooooo
As I see mentioned here, I have mixed down, headphones only to disasterious results. Monitors are the best way.

PODxt
I use a PODxt direct into the board BUT, I use the Line6 editing software on the pc through USB to make my presets and edits. This is the only way I feel in a studio environment to get settings that work, quickly. The on board LED and pages of parameters are too tedious as far as I am...
I have an HD24 set up with Mackie 32-8 analog board and I know switching to a Digital Boards would solve a lot of my problems and less patching. Anyone else using an analog board with the HD24?
Drum Mics variety
Depending on project and drummer:
I use SM57's on snare and toms (4 total) clip mounted pointed at head
2 Earthworks TC 20's for overheads
AKG D112 for Kick drum.
(Alternate)
2 earthworks TC20s behind drummer as overheads
AKG D112 Kick
This suprisingly sounds great. The...
I just got this item used for my studio as another device to store sound. Stupid question, does this device use regular DAT tapes? I put one in and it seems smaller then the carrier size on the deck. It keeps spitting them out. Can someone verify what tapes fit this device and is there a web...
