First time posting a song up here so take it easy on me Anyway here is one of my band's songs that I recorded for our upcoming release. It is still missing a guitar solo, backing vox, and possible rerecord of the lead vox. We are very short on equipment but here is what we used
Drums
OH: 2X MXL 990
Snare: SM57 on top
Rack and Floor Tom: 2X cheap Nadys from Musicians Friends haha
Kick: SM58
Guitar
SM57
Bass
DI: Whirlwind
Rig: MXL 990
Vocals
MXL 990
Audio Interface
M-Audio Firewire Audiophile in HP laptop running n-Track v3.3 recorded at 24bits/48k
Anyway, if anyone is familiar with the Audiophiles, they'd know they only have 2 inputs so that doesn't make recording drums easy at all. We spent over a week trying to get a good drum sound and the overheads still overpower everything. It's really hard to try and take away some of the highend without killing all the other drums. This is the biggest problem I have with all our songs. If anyone knows any remedys for this kinda problem thatd great. So hack away at it all you want. Thanks
I also "masterd (hahahaha)" it with some EQ, Comp, and Limit to smash the living snot out of it like everyone likes it now a days hahaha.
Let's Go
