    cheapest way to record drums

    i like the AKG D12E on just about any ass drum that you want to hear a lot of click on. it was THE mic we used in the 80's.

    cheapest way to record drums

    i was gonna comment on the old ass drum mic, but i figured that he might take me the wrong way since i'm new hear and all.

    cheapest way to record drums

    i got new heads tuned up perfectly. new drum set, so no goop on bearing edges. i bought two sets of Audio Technica mics to mic both kicks, snare, 5 toms, and 2 overheads. maybe overkill, but i wanted options. i also got a presonus studiolive 16.4.2 mixer to record multitrack to DAW. i...

    cheapest way to record drums

    i knew that there where some crafty engineers in here. i like the drum sound you got, especially for that song, very appropriate.

    cheap and quick way to record guitars without mics

    same cab sim used in the Epsi for both preamps. prophesy british channel. eleven rack soldano drive. i had too much presence on the soldano amp model, so you can hear that it has a little more bite, but you can dial both of these preamps to sound very similar. this tells me that the Epsi...

    cheap and quick way to record guitars without mics

    i found this cheap and nifty little tool to record guitars instead of using cabs and mics. it's called Logidy Epsi C. what i have hear is one fantastic piece of gear, at a price that is simply stupid. $199 shipped to your house. what we have here is the ability to load ANY IR cabinet tone...

    cheapest way to record drums

    i believe there is no "right" way to record an instrument, just whatever sounds best. i finally got my pc up and running, now i'm installing software. i had to replace all of the faders on the presonus mixer, so that delayed my process too. now i'm dealing with a ground noise problem....i...

    Do you know how to recreate this in a DAW?

    i heard that it was done with an Arp Omni, a phaser and some reverb. i have no clue how to set that up though. i would be looking a virtual version of that synth though.

    new DAW w/ SSD question

    i'm currently building a DAW with a normal HD and a SSD. my question is this: would it be better for my operating system to be on the SSD for faster boot? or should i use the SSD for my projects only, so they will run easier with higher track count and less loading time?

    cheapest way to record drums

    i was the guitarist and vocalist on that project, and because of the budget (none) i ended up being the engineer too. guitar was done using a rocktron chameleon direct.....and a lot of eq. vocal mic was an sm57. yep, that's all i had.

    cheapest way to record drums

    no overheads at all. ride mic'd. HH mic'd under the outside of the HH. mix compression brings out the highs, and therefore the cymbals. i recorded those drums on two tracks! kick mics were sm57's, cause that's what i had. i think all mic's were sm57 accept for the cheap radioshack...

    cheapest way to record drums

    exactly! i've heard some records where the engineer used 3-4 mics....and i wouldn't want that tone. it was fine for that style, but not my cup of tea. my background is live sound, so close mic'ing to lessen feedback issues (before we could afford gates) was how i started. when i finally got...

    cheapest way to record drums

    the sound of the shed is fairly dead. i sprayed open cell foam on every wall and ceiling. carpet floors. the sound is not reverberant at all. i should be able to capture the raw sound of the drums and add a good reverb.

    cheapest way to record drums

    i got all of the stuff in.....finally. i had to cut a hole in the front kick drum head on both my kick drums, so i ordered some aquarian hole stick on templates last week. i got them done and retuned. i spent a couple hours setting up the mics and tuning drums last night, but didn't get a...
