    Speakers / Monitors

    Not disagreeing with you in any way man. Just not a rabbit hole or waste of time to invest in treatment especially in a small space. Hense why I suggested the room mode calculator so that the op can know what he is facing. We are all stricing for the best results, just in different ways...

    Speakers / Monitors

    Um, the room also affects what a mic hears. It's not a rabbit hole. It is something that affects everything. It isn't just some bullshit thrown out there by idiots that recommend others follow... Anyway, yeah, good headphones are good to have also. ?

    Speakers / Monitors

    There is much to do with the room you are in as well. $2000 studio monitors may not be the best decision if the space isn't helping you. Let me try to place this in perspective here: I have been mixing in shitty rooms for decades. It is possible that I can pull shit out of my ass because of...

    Multiple USB interfaces?

    Yeah, but you likely need more than two tracks for drums. Tascam US 2000 is $200 used on Ebay. The 16x08 is $350. 10 useable preamps and 16 inputs for that price seems to make sense - well until it isn't enough. Maybe I am misunderstanding spantini's needs? A unit like that above, also allows...

    Looking for a Low Quality sound ?

    It's like the best oxymoron ever asked in a recording forum! I must say, that without recording something via something that sounds like that, would involve manipulation. I am intrigued tho as to what you figure out. 8-)

    Multiple USB interfaces?

    We all gotta start somewhere right? I have been out of the market for interface shopping for years, so not sure I can give a great suggestion. I had great time with the Tascam 1641 and 1800. The newer 18x08 is basically similar I hear. I have no recent use of them so I am not a good source...

    Limiting Master Bus for a few peaks?

    Agreed. Drums can be weird as sometimes they seem to just jump out for no apparent reason. Not even sure if it is a digital glitch in the matrix... LOL Many times I will either tame the offensive one, or even just copy/paste an earlier hit to resolve it. To answer the OP's question directly, my...

    Multiple USB interfaces?

    Possibly if you use a MAC. Not with a PC.

    Hi, Don here, new to this site.

    Nice! I spent a bunch of years with the 1800 and the 1641 predecessor. I was surprised it didn't work. Great to hear you got it figured! Cheers from here! :drunk:

    Don't Leave me Alone song and mix feedback

    It's still squashed to my ears man. Everyone has different opinions, but there is still way too much compression on the drums IMO. Take it all back, and then add it.

    Audio interface - wasted on someone without enough knowledge?

    Worthy man. You are only looking for clean preamps and DA conversion. That UM2 will completely suffice for what you are doing. @ 24 bit, there really is not a noise floor issue for what I presume you are looking to do. No need to get into high end audio at this point. Let us know how it goes...

    Audio interface - wasted on someone without enough knowledge?

    Basically any audio interface does the same basic thing. Inputs and outputs depending on your needs is the first consideration you need to decide upon. And obvioulsy you need one with phantom power for the Rode NT1. So you seem to already have done the research and have good options. On a...

    Don't Leave me Alone song and mix feedback

    I also like the tune. My only nit is with the snare drum. It sounds like the life is sucked out of it somehow. The attack is sucked back way too much. Otherwise, I dig it man!

    Def Leppard Drum Cover

    I am curious how well the Moises.ai software works. Would you please post the returned sample by them with the drums removed? Just the mix of the track you got back without drums before you played on it. Again, It seems you have a really good sounding room and are a solid drummer. Props! I...

    I must ask though, did you do it with one arm? HAHA! Too soon? Sorry. ?

    WIDER SOUND With Simply TRICKS (5 techniques)

    Space, the final frontier.... It is common for people to think that width is a good thing. We as old guy remember the 'spacial' button on boom boxes. For year I tried to achieve that sound. Well, it was just a muse on a particular device. The hass effect can be used in moderation, but I have...

    Downloaded new plugin, Logic quits when I use it

    Sometimes plugins just don't work well with some host DAWs. . There are likely better anyway. Delete it.
