Right now I am kind of experimenting, trying to improve my recording sound like I do every day. I've got my drums tweaked within tolerance in the room and I decided to try to tweak my overheads to see if I can get them to sound the way I want. Right now I am using some CAD SDC's and it seems...

and it sounded amazing. It also played amazingly well! The kicker is, it's a 7-piece Pacific CX series. I did use my snare, from my vista lites cuz at the time his was broke, but, still. Amazing. Is the CX series a lot better than the LX series or any other for that matter? Or am I just so used...

I have a firepod and I've been doing some recording with it for a while... It just occured to me last night that it only has 2 mic preamps in it (i think) Should I use my mixer for the other 6 inputs, and use the inserts to go into the firepod? I only use channels 3-8 for recording drums or if I...

The drums and bass on this are midi, through guitar-pro actually. But the 3 guitars (only 2 at a time) are recorded direct into my sound card with acid pro. I'm not going to name the type of amp cuz I wanna see if you guys can guess... :p Something Something Anyway, let me know what you...

I kept the ebony ambassadors on the bottoms cuz they were still good, but I put pinstripes on the top of the toms, and then I have powerstroke 3's on each side of the kick, the outside is ebony with the hole cut in it (it came with a template) and then the snare is an emperor x on the top, with...

I am on a budget, and these are my options for mixing: pair of AKG headphones (I'm not sure the model right now, I can't get to them to check and I can't find them on MF.com or anything, I think they are discontinued.), OR my P.A. system (computer->mackie mixer->peavey eq->crown 1000w amp->JBL...

.. mix the drums before I have any other instrument down? Or should I wait untill everything is tracked before I start mixing anything?

I recorded a new song with my band today.. The quality kind of sucks, but for 3 mics, on an acrylic drum set, and recording the bass and guitars at the same time as the drums, it sounds really well. Sincerely You - Myspace Btw, this is not the kind of quality that is going to be on the CD we...

How often do you guys all replace your heads? I haven't changed my heads (other than snare, cuz I broke it twice) and kick (broke that too) in like 5 years... I'm about to buy some new heads though and I wanted to see how long I should expect them to last (when treated right)

Yeah, I posted this in guitar too. I want to hear from both you guys and the guitar guys on how this sounds... I recorded this a little while ago, not sure what mics I used, probably my CAD mics though. I recorded the drums first (CAD mics on origional Ludwig Vista Lites), then rythm guitar...

Yeah, I posted this in guitar too, cuz I want to hear from both the guitar and drum guys... I recorded this a little while ago, not sure what mics I used, probably my CAD mics though. I recorded the drums first (CAD mics on origional Ludwig Vista Lites), then rythm guitar, then lead guitar. I...

I recorded this a little while ago, not sure what mics I used, probably my CAD mics though. I recorded the drums first (CAD mics on origional Ludwig Vista Lites), then rythm guitar, then lead guitar. I believe I used my mesa boogie triple rectifier for recording, although it could be my digitech...

So, I was wondering a couple of things.... first off, when mic-ing an acoustic, what kind of mic/placement is best? Do you mic near the guitar, or far? Using a condenser of dynamic? Also, when mic-ing an electric guitar via speaker cabinet, what kind of mic/placement is best? Dynamic or...

Well? If you do, lets hear some clips. I just saw the thread about drum brands and there were a lot of "other"s.... I figure I'd see if anyone plays OCD's. Anyone ever had experience with these drums? I used to be into them when I first started playing... honestly, (don't laugh) it's because...

First off, I want to say thanks to everyone on this forum. I've only been here for a couple weeks but I've learned SO much. You guys rock, seriously! Second, I've changed my kit, my mic setups (soo much) and almost changed my recording software, in fact, I might still do it heh. So I have a clip...

I have Cubase LE.. not sure what version... anyway, I was just wondering: I used to use acid pro and there was a way I could set it up so that during a track, say there was a point where a couple of snare hits were a few db too loud or whatnot, I could add points where the volume could change on...

Okay... I am n00b so I need to know about phase and why mics can be out of phase. I've done some reading, but all I can get out of it is that say for example you're micing a drumset, and you have two mics on a drum. One of them on the top of say a tom, and the other on the bottom of the same...

This is long, and I'm sorry.... So, I'm getting into recording.... I've been playing with some recordings for a while, in fact, I was going to try to cut a cd with my band, but, for some reason, I can't seem to get the drums to sound right. Well, I think I've kind of figured out why, but I want...
