Hehe, coincidence........or planned ? :eek:

Less clothes and less singing just might have saved it. The clothes thing applies to the women only.

The mics don't necessarily have to be props, but then again, I doubt they recorded the song in a studio on PG57s. Don't put so much stress on buying the same mics. There's a ton of good, budget stuff out there that is good enough to get you started. Learning how to mix and improving your...

First of all, keep in mind that there has probably been a lot of post processing on this song. That means, if you're expecting to get the same sound out of the mics shown in the video as soon as you bring em home, you might be in for a surprise. That said, the vocal mics are Shure PG57s, pretty...

You don't need to make an effort to capture the room by putting up room mics everywhere, at least not with drums. The room effects their sound more than you'd probably think. You can experiment with the guitar cab, but perosonally I'd try to use one mic first and try different positions. You...

That seems like a nice setup. If the kids are new to this, though, I'd think about setting them up with just the basics first. If/when they develop an interest, they'll develop their own taste too. That way they can choose what they want.

I must spread some around before giving it to jimmy again. I'm gonna need more release ;)

I was assuming PDP wanted the HHs to one side. I always try to make sure the HHs are to one side, that's what sounds good to me.But yeah, getting them in the middle with OHs seems pretty unlikely.

You mean stereo cymbals from some source other than the OHs ? If so, that sounds like it has the potential for a bunch of phase issues. I'd experiment with OH settings first, they can make a huge difference. Try spreading them out more, panning them to extremes, or adjusting your cymbals so that...

I've heard these are great for the hats: AKG C451, SM81, KM84 I've never mic'd the hi hats though, never felt the need to. If anything, there's probably too much of them in the OHs.

Wait, didn't I say give it some more release the first time ? :D

I'll take you up on that !

If you absolutely can't get bigger monitors and are stuck with small ones, a sub will come in handy. But why buy a separate sub when you can use that money to just buy a pair of larger monitors ? I have small monitors (got em free), and I had a few subs lying around, so I just use those. My room...

Nothing to get the crowed worked up like hurling fresh feces at them.

That, right there, is the whole issue. Nah, you can get a soul plug in for that.

I think drums would sound way too dry in the open. But that is the point of it, I guess. Would you have to re-tune stuff ?

Ok I get what you're saying. I've never had that problem using a trigger, you can almost always find a certain spot where everything works out fine. If you're sure you've tried everything, and the peoblem is only near the end of the song, you could try to manually put in the samples. It's about...

PreSonus Is this the beginning of the end of Firewire in audio interfaces ? As far as I know, Presonus was the only brand pushing Firewire harder than USB.

Sounds good. I get the feeling that the cymbals won't cut through when you add other instruments. Also, I prefer my toms more resonant, they sound better in a whole mix that way, but that's a matter of opinion I guess.

Depends on how much you know now, how much time you're willing to put in, and how realistic your expectations are. It's not like you'll throw up a mic kit, learn to mix them in a few days, and 2,3 weeks later you'll be making great drum sounds. Your sound will also depend on your room treatment...
