Hey, my newly formed band just started making a demo. This is my first time trying to get a quality drum sound, so I would really like some suggestions on how to make this better. I have a clip of the drums with an acoustic guitar below...any suggestions would be appreciated! andrew...

hey, i'm not a drummer at all, but i do play some... this is my ok set with the mics (that's a member of my band in the pic), and i also put up a short clip of one of our songs with just acoustic and drums.... like i said i'm not a drummer (we don't have a permanent one right now only a stand...

Cubase SE is a tiny bit cheaper and is pretty similar to pro-tools in some ways. I am an audio-engineering student, and our college has a pro-tools studio that I work in. I use Cubase SE on my computer and I like it alot. I almost bought Pro-Tools M-Powered but I decided to go with Cubase...

that's kinda cool that you were there for that....pretty interesting

i think the fewest mics needed for a pretty decent drum sound is.... 2 overheads (L&R) 1 kick 1 snare usually the toms will come through well enough on the overheads for a pretty good sound

i think XLR is usually less noisy, but i have any clue why that would be true if it is...it's just my experience

i have an avt150h and like it...my style is much different than yours i think. why can't you back off on the bass on the head (there's a knob for it)...is the scoop in or out (i don't ever use the scoop)? what kind of guitar are you using? it seems odd to me that you would have this problem...

www.fullcompass.com !!!!!!!!!! sweetwater has almost annoyingly good service, but since i'm young and poor i'd much rather have a good bit cheaper, average service...

if you like how the G&L plays go for it, guitars will play different. you might want to find out what kind of wood it is made out of and other details... what is your skill level? if you shop around you'll find a good MIM strat that you will like, but if you are using this as a workhorse and...

i would play them first, i've only played one G&L and it was ok, but i've been very happy with the fenders i've owned

because with only two overheads you can't eq individual drums? can't raise the level of any one thing?

umm.....i just started reading and i laugh out loud quite frequently!

i would overdub, but someone else may disagree as for micing, i use one condenser near the 12th fret and then also go line in and mix the two tracks together. I was really skeptical of this at first, but really think it sounds good

true, sorry...i have a laptop and sometimes just don't hink

there are many usb/firewire soundcards that will give you very decent sound quality for a lower price....such as the m-audio mobile pre (usb, i have this it is good) tascam us-122(usb) Pre-Sonus Inspire (firewire, this one is pretty good i hear) m-audio solo (firewire) These are all under 200$...

a great way to learn about VST and anything with digital recording is stick around here, read and participate....i have learned many good things from this site....and welcome by the way

i like rosewood and sunburst so number 2 (i'd get a different pickguard though)

haha i know, i'm just really weird and obsessive compulsive about my files being organized :)

thx for the links....but 72 for 20.00 is still .28 a pick which really isn't that cheap (especially 'cause i'm assuming they charge shipping), i'm looking for closer to .10 - .15 a pick (this was what i got on www.musicyo.com when they used to have it, but they don't anymore)....you know what...

weird question, but with vst plugins, i only need the .dll file for them to function correct? i ask because i get misc. files also such as .txt files when i download free vst plugins....so can i go through and delete everything except for the .dll files in my plugin folder? figured this best...
