    Drum mics too hot at lowest gain

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone! The mixer is coming out of the mix and I'll go straight into the Zoom and give that a shot! Sometimes having a love for toys is a curse ;-) ...Josh

    Drum mics too hot at lowest gain

    Thanks for all the replies everyone and sorry for the lack of detail! Here's some more info: The mixer is a Behringer X2442USB Mixer. The reason I've got that in the mix as opposed to going directly into the Zoom R16 is because I've been told the Behringer has better pre-amps. I've had better...

    Two Zoom R16's into Logic?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I was originally asking thinking that the Zoom only had a single USB port, therefore how would I go from the "last" Zoom to my iMac, but looking into it further I see the Zoom actually has TWO USB ports! I should've opened my eyes before my mouth ;-) Thanks...

    Best option for soundproofing new room

    Yep, that's my plan Jimmy! I plan on keeping my current rented studio space (just in case!). Once I get moved into the house next week, I'll bring my drums over, set them up and what I'm dealing with exactly. I do have another option of trying to work with the detached garage behind the house...

    Best option for soundproofing new room

    Thanks so much for the replies everyone! To answer a few questions... I'm trying to isolate the sound from neighbors. I don't know exactly how far away each neighbor is, but the way the homes on this street are laid out is with the garage in the back of the house, so there's no much separation...

    Best option for soundproofing new room

    Hi, I'm moving into a house next week with a basement. It's a stand-alone house (meaning no shared walls). The basement is pretty big with windows. Within the basement though, there is a room with a door and no windows. The whole basement is carpeted. I would like to do whatever I can within...
