I'm going to be recording my little experimental band that mainly consists of a juno 60 and drums. I've got some decent mics (a few sm57s, beta52, shure pg mics for toms and a pair of mxl 603s on the way for overheads). I'm running these through an m-audio omni interface into adobe audition...

thanks for being honest.

How do the modifications change the sound? I was thinking about getting a 319 or two for drum overheads but I've heard a lot of people say they sound dark and often muddy which isn't the sound I'm looking for in a drum over head. I'm looking for a mic that will capture my bright, piercing...

Thanks for all the great tips, it seems like what you've got in mind is just what I'm looking for. There is no way I'll be able to record the drums twice because I pretty much try to fill every space and I usually don't play things the same twice but all the other suggestions are top notch. And...

will do, thanks.

I'm in this little experimental punk band (think along the lines of the band Lightning Bolt). We consist of only a drummer (me), a guy on a juno60 and many bass amps. We sometimes do vocals too. Basically there is an obvious lack of layers in our music and we use overwhelming volume to make up...

A good snare sound is important to me. I know a lot of it depends on the snare and the tuning but I wanted to know what techniques one could use to get a loud open snap and ring sound and possibly what mics to use. Here is where you can find an mp3 from the band Hella...

most bands of that genre use triggered drums. it annoys the hell out of me.

i have shure clips that came with the shure drum mic kit. they are made from bendy plastic and bounce around a bit when you hit the drum. so i would assume this would help the mic not to get messed up with vibrations. they were probably designed to do just that. i'm sure using separate stands is...

damn. i need like 3 more stands then. i have two boom stands for overheads and and low boom stand for the kick. i guess i'm in the market for 3 more boom stands.

is it good or bad to record drums with mic clips on the rims? i don't have enough stands but i have enough clips.

the thing is, i only need these overheads to mic the cymbals. i'll have individual mics on each drum. so will these sound band if i have each drum miked and then use these as overheads? like i said, i mainly need them for cymbals.

how can i tell the difference between the russian ones and the knock offs?

Oktava's site says they're great as drum overheads but I haven't heard much about that anywhere else. I hear they have somewhat of a lower sound which probably wouldn't be great for cymbals. Do any of you have experience using these? I have mics for all the other drums in the kit so I don't need...

You're right, sorry. I've read a lot of stuff so far, I guess I just wanted answers on more of a personal basis. But I totally understand what you're saying and I'll be on the look out more from now on. I will always be a noob.

also I was also wondering about mic pre-amps. I not really familiar with these. Do I need them? The omni has two xlr inputs with built in pre-amps and phantom power. I was going to use these for the kick and snare. There are also two 1/4 inputs in the back of the omni. I was going to plug two...

So I decided to start getting into home recording again. I've made a lot of crappy 4 track recordings in the past of my youth with crappy mics and I didn't really realize how important the mics were. Anyhow, right now I have an Oktava 219 condenser. I bought this because I saw a local engineer...

what do you guys think would be a good drum mic kit to get for a low budget punk who's into dirty sounding diy recordings? i know the shure set is probably the way to go but i dont have money for that, i make pizzas. i've been looking at a 4 piece nady or audio technica kit. let me know what...

hey guys, i have a question. me and my band tried recording today with my 424mk3 and i realized that i need an 8 track that allows 8 track simultanious recording. does this exist? if so, let me know. thanks a lot. -jordan

after trasnfering the drums and vocals to the computer i was planning on adding in everything else via cool edit pro and keeping it off the four track. i think your suggestion is good but the reason i need to do vocals and drums at the same time is because the vocals are very loud screaming and...
