Yes, everything above but something not mentioned, maybe because of it's simplicity or DUH factor. If that thing in the distance is loud and moving at you...a slow fade-in or moving side to side (lawn mower) (jet fly by) pan right to left...sometimes both. I guess these are post distance...

First and foremost...find a drummer with a finely tuned kit. The simplest and most successful commercial set-up I've heard of involves 4 mics...a kick mic, a snare mic, and two overhead microphones. Glyn Johns used it to record the Stones/Clapton/The Who...and on and on. Here are the...

Wouldn't think so...the unit should have pre capability or it would be a stupid design. Just sounds like more of a signal problem.

Probably a real stupid question...but are you using the phantom power switch? Last time I had this issue it was cured with an external pre-amp but I can't see why you would need one. Good luck

ground loop maybe

Not to step on anyones toes and not knowing your input...here is what I use for 4 mic mixing into one source. Either single regular input or straight into my computer. I have a Beheringer Xenix 1204 USB. For what it's worth. Later!

I'm a voice-over guy (radio for 20 years) and engineer...and I can tell you IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. I would never do V/O work over a kareoke rca $10 mic to achieve a crappy affect unless it was to sell the difference between a good mic and bad mic. So I guess...NEVER SAY NEVER...LOL.

My two cents. I have been a radio guy since the 60's so have used several different boards/formats/recording types from analog to digital. Here's my take. Digital is so exacting and pure that to the analog user who is used to slight signal degradation...the digital format can seem harsh and...

I read all the ideas and they were all fantastic but my quick fix would be to turn off the drummers mic then record him later in a separate track if you have the capability. I understand your dilemma in a live application but it sounds as if this is a recording application in your basement. Am...

In a word...DAMN.

:) Tell how it worked out

good luck

Besides your mind...nothing...LOL

Steven Slate Trigger EX can only be used with a PC right? I record on a Yamaha AW 16G. I cannot figure out how this machine can work in my audio chain since it's all internal. Once I bump everything to PC...the mix is made. Just curious about my options.

First things first First...what are you recording into...a DAW or into your computer. My DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION Yamaha AW16g needs a pre-amp on 6 channels and if you are going to computer you will need a USB mic or a interface of some sort. I just need more information to give you good...
