New cymbals means new pics! Zildjian A 18' medium crash, Zildjian 14' New Beats hats, Zildjian Avedis 20' ride(60's), Sabian APX 10' splash, Sabian AAXtreme Chinese 19'.
I have been thinking about getting a DBX compressor of some sort recently. I was at a studio yesterday and the mixing engineer was parallel comping the drum bus into some DBX compressors. It sounded FAT! I know a lot of the newer compressors are inferior. Which models would you guys recommend? I...
I honestly have been really curious as to how it obtained its smell. I probably wouldn't want to know though. I purchased the ride for a friend who has requested I not clean it. I will not see him for a couple months so ill just keep the thing in its cymbal bag and hope the smell doesn't escape...
I just picked up a really nice zildjian Avedis ride from the 70's. Soon after placing it in the bag i realized my hand smelled very strongly of fish. I smelt the ride and it reeks! Is this normal? Any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Not my kit but my drummers. Mapex Pro M, Pork Pie BOB snare, Sabian B8's and a Sabian AAX china. The B8's will hopefully be replaced by some Zildjian A's some time soon.
So a while ago I was mastering a stereo live recording. The subwoofer was to the side of the stage and because of this I essentially made a high pass and low pass of the mix and put the low end into mono. I am wondering if this is a good idea during mastering in general. For example toms and...
So I am a total noob when it comes to press. My band is trying to get on some blogs. Preferably New York based ones since that is where we gig. I don't even know where to start when it comes to press. I personally rarely read music blogs so that may be part of the issue. How do you find blogs...
This is a great sounding mic. I wish I could keep it but I need to let it go for budget reasons. It shows some small cosmetic flaws but it is in perfect working condition. $1000 USD I will have pictures up some time next week.
the thread on the clip of my sennheiser E602 is stripped. Does anyone know if sennheiser sells a replacement or if I can somehow get a clip to replace it? If push comes to shove I can always just tape the mic to the stand but I would rather get a new clip. This is particularly frustrating as I...
I'm curious how people here place/eq/phase align their overheads. With the glynn johns method I get good sounding toms and cymbals. But when they are loud enough in the mix the snare starts to sound like doo-doo. Therefore I am trying a spaced pair next time. Do any of you phase align drums to...
I do not have any personal experience with any of those mics but I'm sure they are all comparable/better than the C01. Glad you can treat your room, I would do the same. IF I HAD A ROOM! :D Just found a funny picture of a 2035:
I want to start using mainstage when having band practice. I would like to be able to throw a 31 band eq on each monitor hence I would need 2 separate mono outputs. Is this possible?
So this spring I did a recording session where there was a weird sounding artifact on the kick. I have used the mic since then without such issues. Recently bass was being tracked with the D112 and 2 hours into the session the farting returned. Anyone have similar issues with a D112? I am going...
I have too many drum mics! I have a AKG C418 that I would like to sell for 90 dollars shipped CON US. This mic is very compact and has very good attack.
Did a quick sloppy sample with the 602 on the cheesiest bass combo ever my ultra rare, Chinese made "Doplomat B20 Bass" The thing has a 6 inch speaker and it sounds boxy as hell but through the E602 It sounds pretty solid. I have great faith using this mic on cheap-o kicks.
