My friend and I used a pair of 993's about two weeks ago to record a couple of acoustic tracks. Turned out excellent. We also used the 993's for drum overhead mics and had no complaints.

I've been playing around with the SimpleTech Digital Media 1.0 GB Compact Flash Card for the past couple of weeks and haven't had any problems with it so far. Mind you, I've only played around with it for about a grand total of four to five hours but I've had no problems with it.

Hey, all. Like others out there, I'm currently dirt poor (single-income military guy with two children) and I'm looking for some free audio editing software available on the Internet. I had been using Sound Forge 4.0 - which came with my soundcard on my old computer - but it no longer works on...

I am having a severe problem with Cakewalk Pro Studio 9.0. My CD-R drive is NOT reading the disk. My CD drive is not broken because it is reading every disk I put in there EXCEPT my Cakewalk disk. It worked on my last computer but will not load on my new computer and it's frustrating me to...

Hey, all. I just got a Fostex MR8 and of course it came with the basic flash card which gives me 23 minutes of recording time or thereabout. I made it through the first quarter of the manual and decided to record a demo. I did a few drum tracks and it said I had 11 minutes left. Then I went...

I'm seriously considering buying an MR8 but I do have a couple of questions about the S/PDIF feature on this. 1. The S/PDIF output jack on this thing looks like an RCA jack, right? 2. I have an S/PDIF input & output on my PC which I use to record. Will the MR8 allow me to connect to the PC...

Does anyone own the Roland RPCSI-24 Studio Package Pro? Here's a link to the product: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--ROLRPCSI24 . If you own one or have been able to use one, please post some feedback or links to online reviews. I am thinking about buying one but I haven't been able...

Since you've already recorded them, try it this way: 1. EQ 2. Reverb 3. Compress Hopefully that'll work. If not, then switch 'em around. Good luck. Metal Marc P.S.: your sample is pretty decent. I agree with you: the drums have a good feel. Your snare sound is KICKIN'! \m/

Are your drums all on one track? If no, what drums are on what tracks?

Hey, 14yearoldkid...take these guys' advice and get a condenser for your overhead. Do not - I repeat - DO NOT use an SM57 for an overhead. You will be cutting off your high end and your sound will be terrible (trust me: I did that before and I kicked myself in the ass for it). Do it right...

I have just started recording live drums (as opposed to using a drum machine for recordings). I like the sound of my bass drum: it's loud and boomy. However, when I record it it sounds like corned beef ass. I use compression but even without the compression is sounds terrible. Recording...

Since I have no extra dough to buy new cymbals, tape it is!

Sounds good to me. I don't see why that wouldn't work. Thanks, stonepiano.

I have a 20" crash and a 24" ride that seem to ring too much. How can I "muffle" them so that when I record you won't hear that one friggin' crash for 20 seconds after it's hit? FYI: my mic scheme is one CAD KBM-412 Kick Mic, one Peavey PVM-22 mic for the snare, and two MXL V93M Condensers as...

Lots of low end and no bass...PERFECT! Sounds good to me. I was just hoping to get a "jumping-off" point. I'll just start at a -10db, 4:1 ratio thing and work it from there. I used to record with one of the best drummers ever and I never, ever compressed his signals because his attack was...

I have to piggy-back off of lbcstudio's question because I only have one compressor, also. I could compress the bass & snare drums but I could only have one setting (they'd be in an effects loop). What would be the best overall setting for both the bass & snare drums?

Thanks, TB. That should work. I love, love, LOVE miking up a good amp or a big cabinet because nothing beats that miked-up sound. However, no matter how many blankets and cushions you cover all that stuff up with you can still hear it all over the house. I think your idea will work well and...

Hey, everyone. When I record my guitar and keyboard tracks, they come out sounding "too perfect". Here are some details: - I am recording digital on to my computer using Cakewalk 9.0. - The guitars are all recorded using a direct recording device (Johnson J-Station; I get the same results...
