I recently recorded drums with one large diaphragm condenser about 6 inches above the kick pointed at the center of the snare and it picked up the whole kit really well. you can always slap up 2 OH in the traditional method in addition to yield some pretty good sounds. if your live recording a...
hey scopus,
so i only listened to one track (drifting) and i kind of think the un-mastered tracks sound better. the mastered are definitely louder but at certain points i could hear some distortion. i dont think the loudness is a huge issue with the un-mastered tracks though and they have a...
i had to put my old logic on a disk to my new computer with Lion and had to go through a whole lot of internet searching to get it to work. it was a year ago so i cant give any real help but it is a pain. just sayin'.
The p-bass style is what i look for in a bass. that being said, besides costing an arm and a leg, there are some options of good "knock-offs". Guitar Fetish is really solid with all their gear, although its on the net so you can't play it before you buy it.

fat_fleet, its my second project with live drums i'll check out those frequencies in the EQ. The "room mic" is pretty low in the mix it just adds some dirty to the bass distortion, there is no room mic on the drums. Some plug-in reverb to fill some space maybe?
airbagtester, thanks! And I used...
If you can find a good head you like check out Avatar cabs, they are super solid and I've gotten at 2x12 and 4x12 used for about half the price of the retail value. As for me, I used a Peavey VTM 60 and it has a pretty gritty clean channel but works really well and can handle a lot of distortion...
So I have been trying to tackle these mixes for a while. The bass in these is pretty gritty and since its only a two piece I'm trying to recreate the amount of space this project fills live. I know its all super smashed but there isn't any dynamics so I just tried to make it powerful, but is it...
