    Rock drums

    Hey everyone, I'm in a rock band...not the kind of rock band you think...were not Nu-metal or alternative or metal..we're a more old school rock band (zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Ac/dc, Jeremiah Freed) We really want drum tracks that represent the kind of music we are playing. Heres all the info...

    How does a preamp work

    It's at differnt points in songs. It does it on just about everything. I've looked at the headphones and speakers and gone through that already. How would I be able to check and see if the stereo buss is the problem?

    How does a preamp work

    It doesn't happen on every pre. It depends how I chose to mic the drums. This is what happens... Channel 1- kick drum Channel 2- snare drum Channel 3- Toms Channel 4- Floor Toms It doesnt matter where I plug them into, the floor toms and toms always seemed to crack. But now the other day...

    How does a preamp work

    I've tried numerous mics. I just plug the mics directly intot he board. It could be the mic cables, because it seems that its not always the same channel making cracking. But would a faulty cable cause cracking when a drum is hit? thanks

    How does a preamp work

    our volume and trim on sonar, as well as the trim and all the volume controls on the mixer, are hardly set above 1! Theres no way this is a volume issue. Theres got to be something that I'm doing wrong in order for this to not be working correctly.

    How does a preamp work

    huuummm what could be causing the cracking? It started as a problem we had on toms and floor toms. Now its starting to do it to vocals as well. I really have no idea what it could be. Not every hit cracks, but almost all tom hits crack alot. thanks

    How does a preamp work

    Hey, the mic channels on my behringer mixer are making all types of cracking noises no matter how low or high the trim and volume is on each. Would getting mic preamps resolve this problem? How do you hook up a preamp to a mixer? thanks alot

    A few questions

    thanks, the only problem with buying a compressor is that we just don't have any money to buy one. Once we get money we weill invest in one, but for right now we just need to get by on what we have. We record drums to 4 different tracks. 1-snare and hi-hat 1-first 2 toms and crash symbols...

    A few questions

    Hi, I'm having trouble with a few things and thought I'd get some help from you guys/girls. My band records on computer and we use a Delta 44 soundcard, Behringer mixer, and Sonar. When we record vocals, they always seem move around too much in the mix, we think it might have to do with...

    setting up computer for recording

    hi, this is my other name on the board. Thanks for the explaination but I have one more questions. On the behringer, there isn't two aux knobs for 15/16, only one. Could we use 13/14 instead? Also, how do align the panning on Sonar so that left goesto a new track and right goes to a new...

    Hooking up mixer to computer

    My friend and I decided that we are going to buy the EWS 88 MT Multitracking System. We just spent money on a mixer so why settle for something that wont get us a nice demo. I can't wait to get everything hooked up and start recording though, our band will make demos all the time now! thanks...

    Hooking up mixer to computer

    I know its insane. But we read through the manual and everything for his soundblaster and unless they have a different name for the line in then there is none on his! We will get a new soundcard though. Probaly something really really cheap. What is the best audio interface that isnt over...
