Anyone built or played the Adonis [ Keller ] Drums. I have a cheap 6ply mahogany Music Yo Slingerland set and when recording the rack toms sound like " Ass ". I've changed to pinstripe heads and tried tuning them and still am not happy. [ I used to record with a Yamaha maple set and really liked...

I have limited mic inputs to use here is my set up, what do you guys think. 1. snare sm57 2. Rack toms sm57 3. floor tom sm57 4. Kick Akg D112 5. Right overhead Akg C3000B 6. Left overhead Akg C3000B Should this deliver a good sound with a good sounding kit? THanks

Hope someone can help me here. In my home studio I have the Tascam 2488 SIAB for a recorder. I do not have any outboard gear to use right now. I am using 6 mics on my drums right now as follows. sm57 /snare, sm57 / rack toms, AKD D112 / kick, sm 57 /floor tom, AKG 3000B right and left overheads...

I took the plunge and ordered my 2488, I really wanted to wait until the price came down a little more and the OS was updated for a larger hard drive but I'm 48 years old. I can't wait forever!!! LOL

Forgive me for venting here but I ordered a RC-30P footswitch from Musicians Friend [ It showed an anticipated delivery of 5 days. [I also ordered a mic stand and pop filter to save on some shipping.] Well the RC-30P came up backordered. Original ship date was to be 3-05-04, then it changed to...

If I burn a .wav export CDR with my 788 will Pro Tools Free 5.01 on my imac recocnize the files and import them ? [ All 8 tracks ]? Thanks

Okay her goes, I've downloaded pro tools free onto my imac 266 G3 w/ 160 mg ram. It looks pretty cool but I cannot figure out how to import an audio cd into the Pro tools program. It's just a 2 track stereo CDR recorded on my Tascam 788. It plays on my imac but I can't figure out how to get it...

I'm sure I'll get razzed here, but has anyone tried an AkG D330BT dynamic on kick drum. I was out of mics and used one on a demo recording and it did not sound that bad. [ Considering they're almost giving them away on ebay].

Oh what to do ?? I'm trying to find out if the phantom power on the 2488 can be assigned to inputs A-D individually or if it's just on or off for all four inputs. There is just one phantom power button and I downloaded the manual and could find nothing about assigning phantom power to inputs...

The answers to my last post provoked a few more questions I want to be sure I have this straight. My bass is a Peavey Cirrus 5 [ Active 18v electronics ]. I should plug this into a direct box to knock the level down to line level and then plug the output of the direct box into my Alesis or...

I'm lame and confused here so please bare with me, I am recording with a Tascam 788 digital work station. All of the inputs are 1/4 inch with trim controls for mic and line levels. I have a Alesis Nano-Compressor that I plug my bass into directly and then run a regular guitar cord into the...

Here goes. I am going to record live drums, I am the drummer as well as the engineer [ I use the term loosley ]. I want to run my mics into rack mounted compression. [ I'm looking at the DBX 266XL on a budget ]. Is this an acceptable way to go? My tascam 788 has all 1/4 inch inputs and came...

I recorded live drums on my 788 with the effect set up as individual channel compressors. When I do this is the compressed signal actually being recorded on the hard drive? When playing the song back I sure notice a difference with the compressors still on or turned off. What I'm trying to do...

This is probably a dumb question but why does the top of the SM 57 spin around. Does it sound or pick up different in various positions? Thanks

I'm recording with a Tascam 788. I'm just getting started with recording live drums. I only have 3 mics right now and this is what I did. Placed a SM 57 about 3 inches from the snare head [top ]right at the edge of the snare head pointing down and towards the center of the snare drum. placed a...

Is it okay to run a dynamic mic [SM 57 ] through a phantom powered input/ [If you have no choice]. Thanks

Is it okay to run a dynamic mic [ SM57 ] through a phantom powered input? [ if you have no choice? ] Thanks

Can anyone tell me what the difference is in the sounds of, steel, copper, or brass snare drums / [ All things being equal like heads, snares and size ]. Thanks

Help, how can I get rid of the excessive snare buzzing I get when I hit my rack toms, The snare is a 6.5 x 14 steel. I really notice it when I hit the small rack tom [ higher pitch. ] It is bleeding through enought to hear in my recorded drum tracks. I have already put a Evans power dot head on...

Can anyone tell me if the Shure Beta 56a is better than the SM57 mic for toms and snare. Also is the kick drum mic that comes in the 4 mic pack with the 3 SM 57's that good and is it worth the price. I think the kit no is DMK 57-52 or something. Also are the mic holders that come in this kit...
