Looks familiar. Did you author that great how-to guide?

Thanks for the help, Ethan.

I ordered a case of 2'x4'x2" 703 and am considering cutting each board into two 1'x3' and one 1'x2' panels. This way I can distribute the absorbers better and arrange them more aesthetically in my small recording room (7.5'h x 8'w x 13'l). By cutting the boards up this way I get 17% more...

Damnit. Thanks. And good luck with the knee, Ethan.

Is bass trapping as important in small recording rooms as it is in small mixing rooms? Or is treating first reflections more important?

The amount of snare rattle has far more to do with the depth of the snare beds than the shell material. Check to see if your snare shells have them. I'll bet your steel shell either lacks them or has shallower ones.

I play a tiny kit - 10, 13 toms and a 16 kick. As much as I like it personally, it's definitely a niche sound. For general recording I'd stick with something more versatile like 10 12 14 20.

No worries. Happy to have your input!

Tried it out today with the mic pad (10 dB), inline pad (15 dB selected), and the gain up a bit and got no clipping. Problem solved! Thanks, guys. =)

Yep, sorry about the confusion. Pads are in (fastest eBay purchase ever!) but it'll be a few days before I can record...

Good to know. On the audiobox, the gain goes from -10 to +25 dB. Seems pretty arbitrary. Presonus might as well label it "min" to "max."

Ok, when the pads arrive I'll post the results here.

Ordered two Shure A15AS pads.

Cool, thanks for the link!

Thanks for your responses, I appreciate your time. I bought the mic new and only used it twice so far, both on drums. Once about 30" above the kit and once about 18" in front of the kick. Both times my levels peaked in reaper and the clip light illuminated on the audiobox with the gain turned...

Haha pretty much all the gear I have was mentioned in the first post! mic --> mic cable --> audiobox --> usb cable --> laptop running reaper Gain is applied at the audiobox preamp.

I'm using an AT3035 as a drum OH, running it into my Audiobox, and getting clipping even with the 10dB pad on and the gain turned all the way down. I'm guessing I need to inline pad this mic...how do I know how much attenuation I'll need? M-Audio makes an inline pad for $25, works out to 16dB...

Not hearing much of a stereo image...why's that?

Yep, like that. Thanks, Mike!

Hmm, maybe I can run Reaper and Audacity at the same time, using the latter to mic-in the kick timestamps. Then import the fake kick track into Reaper...
