Ok guys (and girls),
I am a former Roland td-6 midi drum user for recording and I went ahead and bought an inexpensive acoustic drum set because I figure even a cheap REAL drumset will sound better recorded than the TD-6. I must admit i made some pretty good recordings with the roland thus far my if i listened real close i could tell they were electronic.
My set up is as follows:
Digidesign Mbox int a P4 PC.
Blue Robbie Tube preamp. Single channel.
Yamaha MG103 small 10 channel mixer
Mics:
Pair of Marshal 603s's that i use for recording acoustic guitar
One senheiser e609 that i use to mic giutar amps
One Blue Dragonfly that i use mainly for vocals
My new drums are the LUDWIG accent series that i picked up for $319 new for the w/ hardware and throne. i had to buy an extra cymbal stand and a sabian cymbal set for $199. i read the reviews at musicians friend and they are all good. Anyone here have rexperience with these drums? I am not a full time drummer and i just do recordings for my own pleasure. they sound very good to me although the cymbals sound real high pitched and loud to my ear. im probably just not used to real symbals
I record mostly blues, modern rock, classic rock. i like a vintage yet rich sound.
Can you suggest the best setup to record my drums???
Can i get away with the stuff i have now or do i need to buy more mics...etc.??
THANKS
