I'm starting to get better stuff recorded without gates, compressors, etc., but for some reason everything sounds a little muffled. I only have a cheap peavey 2 bus mixer, some effects (which I'm not using for now) and an akai dps12. No cool monitors, just stereo speakers. I know I'm going to have to spend more $$$, but I am determined to get good stuff down on my less than perfect equipment first.

BTW, Andy... Congratulations!!!
Thanks, Ron...
hey...if you want to list out your mics, any compressors or outboard gear that you have, how many piece drum kit you're mic'ing, what kind of room you're recording them in (room dimensions, shape, materials, etc...) , and what kind of sound you're looking for, and i'd be happy to give you some tips on getting a better sound...be sure to be detailed...(eq points on your mixer, specific models of fx, monitors, etc...)
with this information i can get a better idea of what you're working with...
later,
andy
