    How would you record a drum kit with this gear?

    i'm in the lucky position to be recording an album in a london studio right now with a rather good producer. (bloc party, white rose movement, rakes etc) we're using three mics on the kick (dynamic on the inside on the beater, an ns10 speaker on the outside and a d12 at the hole.) three on...

    How would you record a drum kit with this gear?

    close dynamics on drums, condensers as overheads (fairly high), condenser on hats, ribbon mic in doorway or in corridoor, another mic three or four feet in front of the kit at snare height.

    need new monitors

    sorry if this is a duplicate post, my computer is weirding out. i've been mixing on the same monitors with the same amp for 15 odd years from listening to music to 4 tracks to 16 tracks to protools and i know their curve so well it's completely normal to me. i've mixed commercial releases on...

Anyway, please can you spare a few minutes to vote lots of times in a desperate attempt to make us look popular? I will forever be...

    Making drum hits equal volume in typical rock music

    i use subtle gating and then compression on the kick and the snare channels, multi-bus compression on the whole kit (one clean signal, one compressed signal) and sometimes subtle underlying triggers. sometimes I completely replace the kick and add a subtle midrange roomy "goosh" sample on the...

    ***Everyone asking about mastering***read this***

    The thing is, if only top mastering engineers using excellent and very expensive monitoring equipment in specially built rooms and paying very close attention can tell the difference, what does it matter to the record-buying, tv-watching, radio-listening public? In my financial position (on a...

    That effect in Cher's Believe.

    It was a Korg VC10. I'm pretty sure the rest of the vocal track was subtly affected with Autotune though. Most tracks are.

    laptop and protools

    Get the digi 002r. The Mbox seems like a waste of time to me.

    what IS the big deal about protools?

    Because it makes absolute sense. If you go to a professional pro tools studio and start mixing with it you'll see. It's like using photoshop to fix your pictures instead of an airbrush. The airbrush still works and there are slot of skilled airbrush masters out there but photoshop just gets...
