A rug ?

Another +1 for Reaper.

Overdue update.... Plastering and sanding done. Sanding = worst ever. Ready for paint.

I'm using a layer of QuietRock and then a layer of drywall for the ceiling. I figure that should be good, but I may use your technique on the walls! Going to check out your build now :)

Finished framing the closet. Didn't get as much done this weekend as I wanted.

Thanks for checking it out :) Yeah, getting there. Once the drywall is up and plaster done, then that's the worst of it. The desk build, painting and finishing touches (molding, etc) should go fairly quickly.

Bass traps for sure in the corners. Otherwise, no extra insulation. Drywall is next, then another layer of QuietRock for the ceiling. That should be sufficient for my home practicing. I'm making some 2'x2' panels that I can hang on the wall as needed. The ceiling height is 7'2", under the duct...

Hey fellow Ontario resident! I'm 33 years old :) So far, I've spent about $1400 in materials, which is great. That includes the drywall, studs, acoustic insulation, thermal insulation, and electrical stuff (fixtures, outlets, wire, marrets, etc). I have about $600 left, which I have to finish...

I normally rehearse in my basement, which was completely bare concrete foundation - no studs, ceiling, fixtures, etc... just bare concrete and floor joists for the first floor, as you can see from an older pic of my setup: Since there was no drywall, insulation or ceiling, the drums were...

^^^ Wow! That room must sound awesome!

If you can figure out how to remotely trigger the record button from your Android, then you will be a legend.

This is awesome, thank you very much for your input! Now I'm itching to go home and mess with my track. :)

Hmm I'll have to look into how to trigger from Reaper. I will try putting the reso back on. I've got a 4" mic port in the reso already, so I'll try to crank it and try again. How do you have the kick batter tuned, also cranked? Thanks for checking it out!

Wow, ok this is all great info :) So a question about getting the initial mic levels before recording... I'm using a Tascam 1800, and each channel has a trim dial. I'm basically getting a level for each mic just under where the clip light starts flashing at max volume... this is before the...

Ah ok thanks for the help. Another basic question... does clipping = peaking? By peaking, I mean the "peak" light on that track illuminates in my DAW (Reaper)... the peak light on my interface for that channel is not.

Getting that punchy kick has been the most problematic part of my recording. Everything else sounds good, but my kick is garbage. Perhaps a basic question, but if I boost say 10db in a given range, the kick channel starts to peak, so should I be lowering the overall output on the channel by...

OK, I've done the EQ adjustments as you indicated, and it still sounds muffled and "boomy" without that nice slap.... can you point me in the direction of some ballpark settings for compression? I'm pretty new at all of this.... Thanks for your help!

Do you use the KD212 at all, or is there an application that you find works well for that mic (floor tom maybe)? I'm wondering if it's just a shitty mic, or if my placement could use some work (see above).

Love to get some advice on how to get the kick to sound better. For reference, I'm using a relatively crappy CAD KD212 kick mic, about 2" away from where the beater strikes, inside the kick with no resonant head. If you can suggest a better mic'ing strategy, maybe that would also help. I've...

New heads and proper tuning will yield the biggest difference in sound of a kit. I get a great sound out of a set of Yamaha Stage Customs. You can hear for yourself: VIDEO: Gamberg Vs Bourne - Bourne Legacy Theme (With Drums) - YouTube fresh Pinstripe heads and proper tuning makes a world of...
