Hey man. No problem. Its weird we did 2 songs with the kick out of the 2 mix but then did the 3rd with it in and it just sounded fuller. so we re-cut the 1st two. I just posted a link to one of the songs in the clinic. Please critique. I had to load this mix in to the computer using only...

Please rip away. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3897&alid=-1 This is my friend Geooff's band I am recording a gig demo for. He built the drums (sans snare) himself. This is only a mix of the drums with the scratch guitar and bass mixed low (-ish) for context. I am pretty...

D4L , I just did a kit based on R'man's set up. (or the Glyn Johns way) Worked like a charm. I went a little farther out than 2 1/2 drumsticks (41 inches) and pulled the "left" mic just to the left side of the snare where the edge of the hats were and aimed across the snare. The "right" OH...

Well..... decided use the kick in both. Tried it without the kick sent to the stereo buss mix and with it in the stereo buss mix and its own track. With it only on its own track the overall sound was a little cleaner and leaner but we decided it was too lean. The kit lost a lot of power. So I...

How did this pop up again?? Manning's post was like from december. ???? Anyways ...... I'lll re-enforce the RE20 vote. Got mine for $230 or something used and it had a faulty roll off so the shop I got it from ended up sending it back to Electro Voice and they basically refurbished the whole...

12 hours... whhhhooooaaaaa Man thats crazy. And we didn't even get close to vocals. 9 songs of drums (with scratch guitar) 9 songs bass completed. 6 out of 9 clean rythm guitar. Then everyone started to just fry so back to on more guitars tuesday. Drums sound real good. Got a great bass...

Did the setting up and level checking last night. They sound great. It helps that the kit sounds VERY good anyway. And its a small (12X12-ish) room thats pretty live but they dont come off too roomy. I am using the "modified" technique with them spaced at 41" from the snare. The "left" OH is...

Question. In the "Which compressor for drum submix thread" you mentioned doing a seperate kick track instead of a seperate compressed track in my "only have 4 track simultaneous recording capability" situation. Dumb question but would you then leave the kick out of the stereo drum mix ...

I like my Compser Pro but.... I usually use it for gating. The gate on it works pretty well. At extreme compression its better than my DBX 286a. The DBX clouds things condiderably but then has the enhancer section so it kinda can make up for it a little bit. For most other things I have been...

Dont answer the las one. I know the answer to that one. Of course its good to have options with the kick at mix down. I haven't had a ton of experience with full kit recording (in case you couldnt tell) but do mutitrack loop "kits" from the computer. Except I can always go back and tweak a...

Hmmmm.... So Tex.... are you saying that I should maybe put the compressor across the whole kit on the stereo buss (Busses 1 & 2) out to the recorder ....... instead of the compressed snare/kick/tom submix?????? The converters on the VS880 aren't super duper so if I can avoid extra trips out...

I'm using basically the same set up. Except I may not use the one mic out front because I only have 8 mixer channels to work with. 6 mic channels 1 submix return 1 bass guitar I see you return the submix back into the stereo buss. How does this double bussing affect the volume?? I have four...

Thanks Trackrat. I'll try it. How do you set up you submix?? ...as far as how your hitting the compressor. Do you try and get it so each drum hits the compressor equally hard or do you "mirror" the stereo mix or .....???? How hard do YOU squash it?? -mike

Well.... Do you have an extra one you could overnite to me on loan for this Friday and Saturday???:) Unfortunately the above 3 mentioned are all I have. Although I suppose I could send the mono mix in uncompressed and dump it to computer and put it through Blockfish or Wavehammer. But I am...

Of an RNC, Berry Composer Pro, or DBX 286a.... which one would be the best choice for a kick/snare/toms mono submix to float under the full kit mix. I guess the generall consensus is that you want to stomp on the submix pretty hard for the beefing up..... but I have read that some dont like the...

You could do it either way. But.... in the instance of the FMR stuff, the RNP (pre) is balanced in and out whereas the RNC in unbalanced. By inserting the RNC into the RNP you maintain the balanced signal out of the pre. I am sure there could be other reasons too. But I always ran my Art...

Just food for thought .... but I bought an old Tascam M30 mixer for $80 bucks and in spite of the fact that is weighs 40 pounds, has RCA connections instead of 1/4" (except for the mic inputs which are XLR), does not have built in effects, and took two days to thouroughly clean up........ it...

I recomend NOT getting the DBX mini. I owned one as well as an Art Tube MP. The DBX was harsh and not very good at all. The Art was better and definitely better as a bass DI. The tube circuits in both are NOT really tube circuits. The tube part is a little side circuit that adds mostly...

Almost forgot... Thanks. Thats a cool feature. I have an older board with individual RCA insert sends and receives but I happen to have 2 dual RCA to 1/4" TRS Y-cables layin around and this would be ideal for them. -mike

Well for what it's worth Harvey.... I LOVE my e-200. It has definitely been one of my better investments and I make good use of the multiple patterns. Thanks for thinking it up. -mike
