Hey guys!!
I recently got a Roland TD 4K2 electric drum set for my B day and I was wondering what is the best way to record them.
The Roland TD 4K2 has:
- MIDI out
- L/R jack out
- Phones out
- Mix in
and also has a 'Quick record' feature build on the drum interface but I have not played around with that too much yet.
I have an audio interface, the Tascam US 200 which has
- 2 inputs
- MIDI in/out
- 4 outputs plus Phones.
The software I use is Cubase LE 5 at the moment.
So looking at my options I an either
- MIDI
- L/R record
- Or quick record which I'm not so keen on.
I love the build in presents the Roland has already so if I were to MIDI record would I then lose that? if so can I then get the present back somehow?
If I L/R record how would I go about, I would think it could be rather difficult. But I could set up the kit on the drum interface to have each drum volume mixed to how I like it and then it wouldn't be as big of an issue.
I'm recording Rock music if that could effect anything and no, acoustic drums is not an option .
Thanks so much for your, I'm very new to the recording world.
Oh and one more thing, may be a stupid question but..
Do electric drums need to be EQ'd??
Thanks again!
