Alright so I am on my Christmas break which ends up being a little shy of a month. Im very pleased about this, as I have all my recording equipment set up in my basement and am excited to recording for a whole month.
problem. I have always been working on getting a good drum sound. I use an mbox currently and submix the drums through a behringer mixer. Currently I am using 57 on the snare and 57's on my 10 and 14 inch toms. Beta 52 on the bass drum, and 1 AT3035 as an overhead. My main problems I am perciecing from the sound would have to be my 14" tom and my overhead. With the 14" tom I am having trouble getting that thick sound that a low tom should have. I have my toms tuned well so that is most likely not the problem. ANy tips!?
Also my overhead. Right now I use a boom stand and go overhead right in the center aiming down on the drum set and cymbals. My problem is the cymbals have way to much resonance and unpleasant tones when recorded. I am not real experienced with getting a good overhead sound so I am needing some help. Does the low cut switch, or pad switch have anything to do with anything?
Also any suggestions on any of my micing situations would be of great help. Any EQ advice or any advice on ANYTHING involving getting a good drum sound I would greatly appreciate!!
