    Adat PCI card question

    I have the Adat/Edit card and this is the 1st time I've used it. I moved in October and can't find the info that came with the card. I need to know how the Adat connects to the card. I have the 9-pin and the optical. When I plug the Adat into the card, I get the Slave ID:2 but nothing about...

    Micing Snare Drums

    I'm not trying to argue, because I really don't know much other than I used that trick with a 57 and there were no phase problems. Maybe it was an anomoly...

    would this help

    This works wonders Put a paper cup of some sort over the mic... of course this works better on some mics than others. I've only used this trick for isolating the snare and hats... try it though.

    Micing Snare Drums

    Yeah! I'm glad the cup trick worked for you. I think this is the first time I've been able to help someone and not the other way around!

    Micing Snare Drums

    I agree with Uladine. A lot of pros will mic where the grommet on the snare is. We're micing my snare with 1 sm57 about 2 inches away and again, when it was close up it sounded like a basketball bouncing. As far as trying to minimize hi-hat bleed, get a paper cup of some sort, cut a hole in...

    kick drum recording.

    Zeke Yes, I mean I put it on the outside, on the kick pedal side. Our mic is about 2-3" away from the head and it is pointed up above the beater about 1-2". Combined with tuning the drum heads to the point right beyond wrinkle, an Aquarian head and mic placement, we are getting a great low...

    kick drum recording.

    My Turn! Hi- I thought I would comment because my band and I just finished setting up my drum sound for recording. We tried all sorts of things - we tried the "tried and true" method of sticking the mic in the hole pointed towards the beater (but not right at the beater, air whoosh bad), we...

    Sm57

    Depending... on the yamaha 4 track, it may have built-it pre-amps. Does the manual say anything about that? Also, I've read good things about the Joe Meek. FMR has a decent one too.

    Cheapo but decent nearfield monitors to tide me over?

    Monitoring with computer speakers I just wanted to share an experience that I had with monitoring with my computer speakers. I was doing a mix of a song, just playing around really, and I actually was able to monitor fairly well with my speakers. I have the Altec Lansings with sub-woofer...

    ADAT Blackface

    Elco Cables That is an Elco cable. It connects to the back of the Adat and they come in different configurations. My Elco cables have 1/4" plugs to go into my mixer. You can get them with XLR's (as shown) so you can go straight into the Adat and bypass the Mixer. There's a book that is...

    ADAT Blackface

    Blackface I love my 2 Adat blackfaces. I had a digital recorder and I thought the Adats really are better. Besides, most of the trick is getting it to sound good before you send it to tape. Another trick is to find out all the little tricks to get more out of your Adat. For under $1000...

    Recording Bass Guitar

    Recording Bass Hey, I'm no pro but you definitely want to get the sound you're looking for, or as close to, without too much eq or compression - the purer the signal the better. What mics are you using? How loud is the bass? Where are you recording the bass? My band is currently recording and...

    Adat Monitoring Question

    Sorry I wasn't clear enough... What I want to know is, if I'm recording bass tracks, how do I keep those tracks out of the headphones when the bass player is tracking? I have a Behringer MX2004, which only really gives me 8 tracks at a time. I have an Elco snake plugged into the Adats, I then...

    Adat Monitoring Question

    Hi all- I was wondering if some assistance could be passed my way. I have 2 Adat Blackfaces and am having some difficulty with figuring out how to record and monitor tracks. Here is my dilemma: When recording, we run our mics into our Behringer board and then out (tip) into the Adat via a...
