Hey all, I used to frequent here and haven't been around for a long while. Finally back to making music, so I'll be around a lot more. Just figured I'd pop in and post up what I've been up to. I'm playing drums for Rubber City Hooch, a ska/punk band out of Akron, Ohio. We did some live...

Just finished up the first actuall full-band recordings of my band. first 3 songs on this page www.myspace.com/zunkproductions opinion/constructive criticism is more than welcome.

So this is what I've been up to these past few days. Any comments or criticism is welcome and appreciated. http://www.filefreak.com/pfiles/5067/Admonition.mp3

This is actually a youtube video, but i need some opinions on the drum sound. It's just 2 MXL 603's, and an Audix D6. I'm trying to figure out if there's anything i can do to bring out the toms a little more in future recordings with this setup, because i don't yet have all the equipment i need...

I've got a copy of windows 2000, and a PC with no operating system..... Is it possible to get the Alesis Io 26 and Mackie Tracktion 3 running in 2000? or should i just go ahead with XP?

A good friend of mine was asking me how to get that death metal "click" kick drum sound, and we couldn't figure it out over the phone, so i had him bring his kicks and pedals over (since i don't have mine here)...... the dumbass is trying to get a bunch of slap using a big poofy felt...

I'd like to see everyone's setup, and i'll post mine in a few days once i can get some decent pics of it. I'm always looking at other people's stuff and trying out things i see :cool:. Maybe we'll all end up giving each other a few ideas. List specs too.

First build, but i've done numerous upgrades before so i shouldn't have much trouble. What's everyone's opinion on specs? 3.2Ghz dual core 4Gb 800mhz ram 500Gb SATA hard drive (internal) 450 watt power supply PCI firewire card standard internal sound card that i won't be using is a...

right now i'm running a 2.66 Ghz dual core processor, and only a gig of ram and doing okay with 8 tracks simultaneous recording at 44.1khs 24 bit with about 5ms latency, i'd like to take that up to 16 tracks at 32 bit with maybe 2ms latency. Would upping my RAM to 4 gb do it for me, or would i...

Well I use Tracktion 2, and would like to know if it will handle 2 usb control surfaces at once. There are 2 different behringer models (i know but they dont affect sound) that i would like to run simultaneously (one with faders and buttons, one with all knobs.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Mackie-MR5-Active-Studio-Monitor?sku=603999 anyone tried these? i took a listen to 'em at guitar center and i thought they sounded really nice, about the nicest they had in the price range. what do all you guys think?

any experience? looking for a 7 piece that wont break the bank. i realize they're all poplar shells, but so are exports and i tend to really like the tone of the exports, especially the kick drums. you guys think they'd be ok with some good heads?

well i'll be starting a pc build once i have a new job. i dont exactly need the top of the line uber-computer but i want something at least decent. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3523769&Sku=A455-2362%20A i'm planning on grabbing this barebones kit...

at first.... when i bought the $89 CAD mic pack. but... for some reason, i actually like them more than a lot of more expensive mics. i borrowed a set of shure's from the sound guy who runs the jam night i'm at a lot once a while ago, and for some reason i actually prefer these.

thinking about buying a mac mini. 1gb RAM 1.83GHz intel core 2 duo. i'll probably upgrade to the 120 GB hd. anybody have or used one? how do they run? how do they compare to the power mac g4's?
